[quote who="LightStar" reply="50" id="3810158"] If anyone wants to bother watching the Windows 11 release video (at least that's what they called it), it's at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/event . Just came out today. [/quote] I bothered to watch it was pleasantly surprised with the new additions and innovation. Windows 11 is NOT just a rehash of Windows 10. No, it is so much more an

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="49" id="3810156"] MS states W11 will be able to run Android apps locally. This is an important plus. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-announces-windows-11-will-be-able-run-android-apps [/quote] Now that is a huge plus and one I see myself using.... there are several Android apps I'd use without having to jum

I found a link to the leaked Win 11 and I'm wondering if I might install it on a non-critical PC to see what's different to Win 10. I was skeptical at first but it does seem to be Win 11. Anyway, I'd check it out for any nasties before deciding whether or not to install it on an old PC with an AMD Phenom CPU in it. Thoughts, Anyone?

Hey Nimbin, long time no see. It's good to see you after so long, though reading of your health issues wasn't good. That sepsis is a damned horrible thing. Shaunna ended up with it earlier in the year from a small scratch on her leg and spent a couple of weeks in Launceston General Hospital.; It was touch and go for a while that she may end up losing that leg. Fortunately, they got it under control and she fully recovered. I had the AstraZeneca first shot

Banned for William Tell had it all over Robin Hood with his crossbow.... could drop a charging rhino at 500 paces, all Robin Hood could manage at that distance was fall 300 paces short of the side of a barn. No wonder the poor are still poor.[e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="39" id="3809580"] Quoting starkers, reply 38 I sit corrected. We all knew how desperate MS was to get people off previous versions and onto Win 10, but I would not have expected MS to go the free route again. Mark, take a gander here (or a goose): <a

[quote who="starkers" reply="31" id="3809419"] I very much doubt that MS will make 11 a free upgrade. In fact, I very much doubt MS would discount 11 for Win 10 users. When MS was giving away Win 10 in the early days, it was in an effort to retire Win 7 and 8. Given that the majority of users are now on Win 10, it is very unlikely they will do that this time.

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="11" id="3809391"] I just thought you were wanting to talk to the skinners, so I wasn't going to intrude. Sure, I like Steampunk skins, I have almost all of them that have been done. Also like other antique-type skins. A post in another thread prompted me to re-install the Dragon skin, which I had cycled out as I do - the pile gets too big. Always liked that one too. A dragon/Steampunk could be cool. Maybe brass

A burglar breaks into what he believes is an unattended house and begins to survey the items he'd planned to steal. As he was shining his flashlight on the hi.fi and bluray player he hears this voice: "Jesus is watching you." The burglar shines his flashlight around the room but sees nobody and continues to steal the hi;fi and bluray player. Again he hears 'Jesus is watching you' so again he shines his flashlight around the room. This time he notices a parrot in the
