Ive probably used every OS(DOS, windows, linux/unix, blackberry, android) out there and by far the most annoying was anything apple.

And this is why I love having nerdy friends who are good at piracy lol

I imagine Paul is starting to get it figured out beings he made this post over 2 years ago. LOL

I have a chromebook laptop. Simple, simple, simple to figure out and operate and it don't get any viruses or any of that BS. And it cost like $100 to buy one.

Maybe I am just old fashioned but it disappoints me that you are apparently ok with stealing.

Is shoplifting ok too ? How about copying old trapping videos ?

Seems wrong to me to take something that someone else created or that is someone else's property.

My old laptop with windows 8, that's nine years old, gave up the ghost. It got so bad that I had to reboot it to send an email. So, I went and got a new one. This one has windows 11, and it's an adventure trying to figure it out. The programs on the old one are not compatible with this new one, so I had to get new programs. These new programs aren't something you buy. It seems these are rented by the year. At first it wouldn't let me load any new programs that weren't in the microsoft store. It had something called an "S" {safe} mode, that I had to take off.

It took me about half a day to figure out how to get outlook figured out. I finally got the data from my old quickbooks loaded into the new one, but only after about an hour on the phone with tech support. Now I'm working on getting my FTP program to work.

Just venting!

I haven't bought a "new" machine since 1999. Only buy refurbished stuff now, Never had a problem. Make sure you buy enough RAM and an SSD hard drive. Delete all the game crap and artsy fartsy stuff that sucks memory.
