THOUGHTS ON MICROSOFT ENDING SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS 10

I'm 70 years old and started out with Window ME. (what a POS it was).

Best one IMO was XP Pro.

Win 11 sux IMO.

I am too old to learn Linux or anything else.

ymmv
No you're not too old to learn Linux, try Linux Mint, you'll find it more like XP or 7 in design, and as will all Linux distros (flavours) the are no viruses to worry about as they don't exist for Linux or Unix. A firewall is a good idea though. And don't use Google Chrome, Linux has Chromium which is a de-googled Chrome ( or one of the many other open source browsers that are available for Linux.

The "I'm so old" thread game

Jacks, marbles, jump ropes, and tops were THE toys for girls and boys when I was a kid. We had to improvise to go beyond the norm. We had a 55 gallon drum that was sealed on both ends that we would walk around the yard or try to knock/walk each other off of. We also had an inflated tractor tube that was our trampoline. A favorite of the boys was a pair of boxing gloves. I'm talking a left glove and a right glove. We'd square off, each with a glove, and when a kid got knocked down, we would trade gloves and fight again.

Fatalities - 2026

These fatality threads are usually meant for notable deaths, like celebrities, etc.

But I'm reeling at the moment and have to share the tragic deaths of two friends I know from theatre, Andrew and Stacia Stuart. They were young, in their 30s, and last Friday morning were walking in a crosswalk after dropping their children off at school when a careless teen driving a pickup mowed them down. Andrew died at the scene, and Stacia succumbed to her injuries earlier today.

RIP, Andrew and Stacia. You were taken far too soon, and the light you carried in this world was beautiful. You will be deeply missed by everyone who knew you. Condolences to your family, friends and loved ones, and may your children be well loved and cared for throughout their lives.
