It was reported that former President Bill Clinton tried to cheer up his wife, Hillary, this morning by reminding her that Nelson Mandela wasn't elected president until after he had served 27 years in prison. meaningless threads have SO much potential

Window 10 SUCKS ! especially their new browser EDGE you'd think Microsoft, after 30 years, could figure out the computer operating business
I liked XP--- guess I can use my full install as a frisbee
did the Hindenburg really crash on this date?

I'd agree with that, put 10 in, dislike a bunch. I'd be happy to go back to XP.

apparently my router just took a dump one moment its working--then not tried my laptop as a diagnostic tool same problem
hooked the modem up directly and all's fine
I had called my provider about the problem hard to understand & not real helpful
but he told me I'm behind on a payment that came through in real clear English

ha ha Mike! Windows 10 is probably destiny its got it bugs though and I hate that new browser
on my sister computer the restart function won't complete some window update is messing with a driver haven't had the time to fix it for her
anyway Window 10 does boot faster that's a plus

mr.mohs, have to agree with the land line phone. Hate the garble we often get from cell phone users, and the dropped calls, and the intermittent service, and the constant battery maintenance, ... We don't consider land lines dumb at all, quite dependable.

Switch to linux, you can install Opensuse for free and it looks and acts just like windows XP without all the bugs. We just uninstalled windows 8 off my wifes laptop and put opensuse 13.2 on it and she loves it. I have been using it for several years now. And it is FREE!

Hi 1davewhat operating system was that when you dropped the keyboard driver? mostly XP No idea what went wrong. My computer guru couldn't figure it out. Motherboard? malware? hacker? anyhoo, now on WN7 (####). couldn't find my old disk. catmandewe Tony YES! Ten years ago I bought Linux Red hat, but my "try anything" days are over. I gave it to a friend about 5 years ago.

Yeah Quartz I hear ya! I been doing some research on this EDGE browser Microsoft really as it bungled
mine won't show history, no list of past web pages on back arrow ect ect...
Part of the problem is Edge won't accept extensions Microsoft may get in a fix in for that next year
but from my research I guess I'm doing o.k. cause some folks can't enter their passwords ! I haven't had that problem
anyway I use Firefox a lot but I hear that Micro making that difficult to download?
I tellya and Tony's right if your at all computer savvy or have a second computer install Linux
I have Ubuntu like it a lot a bit of learning curve but its really good operating system with lots of great advise/support off You Tube and such...
good luck! Ed

Microsoft has become too big to survive.
Remember the dinosaurs? T Rex was huge, tough to find enough food. Usually died around age 35 years.
Microsoft - 1975-2015 = 35 years
Got to have new products every year or else! And when those new products don't work well . . .
