Have you people also noticed that everytime you have to get a new printer the ink cartridges get smaller our first printer in 2001 had massively large ink cartridges numbered 15 & 17 , and the ink lasted quite a while , now they don't seem to last any time at all ( we have an HP printer)

So expensive to buy new cartridges, and I still prefer the originals, it's often the same/cheaper to get a new printer. |

I stayed with Windows 8.1 because some of my older hobby software wouldn't have worked with 10 and I didn't fancy forking our over £2,000 to upgrade to the latest version. The old stuff works perfectly well an I've had no problems with 8.1. I also didn't fancy having my data collected or the key logger which many don't realise is/was included.
I've also got XP running on another computer (not connected to the internet because it's no longer secure) to run even older software that I fnd very useful.
If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Yes I read somewhere that there will be payment for updates, so I dithered for ages about before going with W10. I had W8 which I hated. The new (old style) desktop is just wonderful so I am happy with it. Plus the support will last longer. However I'm not keen on Windows Edge. It is clunky and the home page is very skimpy, so will stick with my old fave browser. Goodness knows how it got such rave reviews. I guess some people like the voice control/Cortana. I still use internet explorer with windows10 but I downloaded a new edition of Real Player which had a facility to download Video clips from sites like Youtube , it worked on the night of installation but has not worked since £ 30 down the drain , real player is still on my computer , but the download facility is in hibernation
it will down load video clips if I use Edge instead of Ie |

Anymore to come?
