hobby knife rolled off the bench today and with blade down struck a glancing blow to my ankle, at least it didn't stick IN my ankle, drew blood none the less...
 
Today I've remebered Terry's 'adventures' with Post office - the people just assume that I'd go there asking whether my parcel arrived (it was due to arrive in Monday), instead to notify me of the arrival. Some of them just don't care.
 
I fell asleep at the switch and somehow Windows 10 started to download before I could stop it. Now I have to figure it out, I don't like change, I miss the '70s

Some bad news from my Daughter, she is becoming vegetarian !
I saw that, Karl...sorry you're having to deal with that BS. I don't understand why people insist that humans were never meant to eat meat. We're omnivores, for cryin' out loud. The protein and minerals that meat provides simply cannot be found in a vegetable diet and requires supplements to keep the body's system in balance.

If we were meant to eat grass and leaves and such, we'd have four stomachs and eyes on the side of our head...

All though i agree with you Dave, its her choice.

I dont think it will stick for long though !
 
Not just today but several times in the past and probably in the future. Occasionally, all my PDFs revert from Thumbnail photos back to the PDF icon. On my laptop I can convert them back by slowly scrolling down the folder, very time consuming. I earlier transferred this folder to my wife's laptop, which I "inherited" and take into camp. It has Adobe XI and to convert these back, I had to scroll down one file at a time.This took about 4-5 hours(3000 files) which I did before and after work. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening or how to convert them en masse? I've gone into properties in the folder and clicked "Thumbnails Only" but that doesn't seem to help.

Back you go Windows 10. I couldn't upload photos from my camera card....last straw. Maybe when they get all the bugs worked out, I'll give it another try. Main laptop is currently reverting back to Windows 7.

EDIT: Window 7 reinstalled, SD card works again. Apparently Microsoft didn't take this into account with Windows 10

I would say the reason for that could be the incorrect or lack of the Win10 drivers for your computer .
Lots of folks having problems with Win10

What I have found out, however, is that Win10 performs MUCH better if done as a clean install instead of an upgrade from an existing version like 7 or 8. Even still, Win10 still has "bugs" that need to be worked out.

I am still using WinXP SP3 on this machine and am keeping it as long as I can :thumbleft:
 
Dave, for the short time I used it, I found it was waaaaaaaaaay faster. The folder differences, and the way things look when the Start Button is pushed will take some getting used to. I never looked around too much as I panicked once it wouldn't read my camera card.

One of the problems I have with Win10, is the DRM rights monitoring.

What this means, is that Win10 "looks" for unlicensed software on the system and will disable/report it without any user options.

"Unlicensed" software can mean anything from "cracked" programs to downloaded music - whatever Win10 determines to have DRM issues.

I have had problems in the past with purchased music that I transferred from one drive to another and all of a sudden, it's unlicensed and no longer playable via WMP. This is why I no longer purchase music online and most certainly will be wary of Win10.
