Don’t let the door hit you
I’m sitting here, minding my own business, gossiping on the internet, when this pops up. I don’t remember this happening when they retired any other Operating System.
No more Tuesday Windows updates? Threaten me with a good time, why don’t you?
I know, I know…security fixes. But this computer is 10 years old as I type and the gummy keyboard is starting to drive me crazy. The idea I’ll still be pecking away on it in October of 2025 is a stretch.
Have a good weekend, y’all!

I feel like I oughtn’t but I’m going to put it out there… Linux.
I’ve been toying with moving for at least a decade but the final straw was buying a new laptop about 3 months ago and having Win 11 require tying in to an online account, no local account allowed. And then I read about all the hoops I’d have to jump through to shut down or at least mitigate the personal data scrapping Microsoft has cranked to 11(!). So, I returned the laptop and got a Linux friendly laptop. It’s only been about a month but so far so good. It’s like having a system from the early 2000s but in a good way.

Gee – I am going to have to fire up my Windows machine just to see that message. The only reason I’ve even kept it around is to play CIV 3 – an old favorite. I also have an Air-book but I don’t really use that much either, to be fair. I live on my iPad and it does probably 95% of what I need – which, being retired- ain’t all that.
Windows still has the corporate world locked it and I can’t see anything changing that for quite a while, but I think that their empire is shrinking, not growing.
