finding that there are a lot of CD’s that I will not ever need again

I feel I should just point out that if you’re passing the CDs on to someone else, you no longer have a legal right to the rips you’ve made of them. You’d have made a single purchase but given two people access to the material. This may or may not concern you, but I felt the legal case should at least be made.

Just fired up Access. It’s there. I think you were thinking of the free web suite, as mentioned above. 365 is just a different way of paying (with other stuff thrown in); it’s not a different product.

[Jason]

Missing features? Office 365 is the full suite but paid per month (or year) instead of in one hit, continually updated and with 1 TB of OneDrive thrown in (per user). It’s a good deal.

[Jason]

Yuppies. Been a few years since I’ve heard that word. 🙂

[Jason]

Heard about these. Not seen one (maybe they’re all in my spam folder). But I have to say, as there’s no name, no plate number, no location, and no time, I fear for human kind if anyone without difficulties falls for it. And yet we know they will.

[Jason]

I agree. My comment was in response to the suggestion that the shows can be watched via Kodi.

[Jason]

These shows cost a fortune to make, and are high-quality, and Amazon doesn’t make a profit on its consumer ventures (only its web and cloud services keep the company afloat). It may sound old-fashioned, but if you enjoy the shows, pay for them. The fee isn’t huge.

[Jason]

Must admit I’ve never seen this in Windows, either. When the Internet drops, I get ‘Conneted: no Internet’, with full access still to my local devices.

[Jason]

Are you sure you’ve not just been enrolled on another free trial, perhaps by clicking a button inadvertently during checkout some time?

[Jason]

I’d imagine the RAM is worth something, if the strips are at least 1 GB in size.

[Jason]

Are you saying that the PC might not be crashing at all and that perhaps the monitor is simply switching off? Or are you saying that the monitor may be causing the PC to crash? If it’s the latter, forget it. No way in a million years will a monitor cause a PC to crash.

[Jason]

I can honestly say it doesn’t bother me in the slightest, especially as the OS is now effectively free. I get banner ads all the time in Gmail, but I don’t see anyone banging on about that.

I lubed two fans

I heard Mick Jagger say much the same thing when talking about backstage antics in the ’70s.

That might be because its domestic market share is not even a blip on the graph.

I had a scammer from “TalkTalk” on the blower the other day. I thought I’d string him along for a while, at least until I was absolutely certain he was a scammer (I had actually had some connectivity issues, so it was just about possible the call was genuine). I had to laugh. He wanted me to click on Start and type something into the Run dialogue and I said I couldn’t because I was running Linux. He’d never heard of it. He kept repeating the same procedure, assuming that “Linux” was just some variant of Windows.

Sadly such threat generators have been allowed in, that was the huge error. Now we are stuck with the effects and some foolish dolts want to admit more of such aliens.

What does that mean?

[Jason]

Yes, very well done. The results so far are very pleasing, I’d say. Getting an active forum going nowadays is no small feat.

[Jason]

Authority is not your friend. Authority uses you for its own ends and runs a very successful marketing campaign that gets you to pay for the privilege.

That’s life.

[Jason]

That’s about the size of it. The only way to win is not to play, but by not playing you’re losing anyway.

[Jason]

Fuss about nothing.

[Jason]

The framerate dips a bit in places in Zelda when the Switch is in the dock. That’s true. But in no way does it scupper enjoyment of the game — it’s not severe — and the Switch is clearly not aimed at players whose focus is on framerate and cutting-edge game engines. A 6″ tablet was never going to have the same performance as the PS4 or Xbone.

Pay your money and get hunting for the Princess. 😉
