“Good bye, Yahoo. I’m not looking back. “

Good to dump yahoo anyway: they still refuse to support IMAP for free, which most people now need because of the prevalence of reading email on multiple devices.

I like Win 8.1, but I also have an RT tablet and don’t get its reason for existence. RT is just not ready for prime time and I don’t understand why MS wasted development time on it. They should have just stuck with Win 8 which is a nice OS once you get the hang of it.

The Obama regime and its policies have caused significant cutbacks in personnel assigned to the monitoring of blogpimps.

It's rough times all around.

Sorry, Dec 9th through the 14th. Not my main e-mail account, but one I transact business with. Five days without being able to see or to respond to e-mails from this account. Totally unreliable in my book and therefore they’re gone for my purposes. Already switched over.

Huh know!

I’m not even that old but, I prefer the Windows® 3.11 to NT menus .

I still prefer to rummaged through that black screen stuff and make changes at the root as well.

The Win 8 thing is their version Appleware that doesn’t give most user total control.

It’s more their evolution from DOS to GUI and of course their always lame attempt to emulate some sort of Apple experience.

But, thank God we don’t have to use a printing press to disseminate our voluminous knowledge here at FR.

Hmmm....

That’s too bad.

I know quite a few people use free accounts for transacting business and to my mind, this day and age, I can’t believe they don’t have their own web identity.

The newly monetized quote process makes up for some of the lost revenue.

I am partial to Windows 7.

DOS 5/6 - Liked it a lot, and learned tons from it.
Win 3.x - Was OK, but preferred OS/2 and Desqview.
Win 95 - Loved it.
Win 98 - Hated its guts!
Win NT 4 - LOVED IT!!!
Win 2k - Liked it too.
Win XP - Had a love affair with it, and am still using on some older seldom used machines.
Win Vista - Hated its guts!
Win 7 - Love it long time!!!
Win 8 - Will NOT use it for any reason without 3rd party functional start button.
