This is very cool with some extra interesting information. That poor elephant was 9 miles out at sea! An elephant was stranded nine miles out to sea. Then the Sri Lankan Navy arrived.
Having huge computer problems. We bought another one yesterday and it's still not up and running.
This one just shuts off every minute or so. Be back as soon as I can.

Hey @SteveS45, I'm sorry I forgot this last night. I don't think @retired1 has been around lately. I haven't either so that's not saying much. There is a thread somewhere to report problems with ECF and to get help with them. I think you said you'd posted there, but in case you hadn't... I experienced your problem (frustrating) but refreshing the page fixed it. I have enough computer problems going on right now that even if I hated you (I do adore you 
), I'd feel sorry for you. Maybe someone that can stay online longer than I can at the moment can direct you to the link. Thank you for all you do here, you make a huge impact. 
Their elephant story/video was the most comprehensive I saw in between computer crashes. Another story said the elephant was greeted back to terrafirma by animal rescuers. That's awesome and made me
. So nice to read a happy story.
On the other hand, today NOAA said they were suspending rescues of whales trapped in fishing gear because one rescuer was killed. I don't believe for a minute that's what this man would have wanted. Joe Howlett was a hero, not a term I take lightly, and those of us that love nature owe him a great debt of gratitude. Ashamed I'd never heard of him before he died. NOAA Halts Whale Disentanglement Efforts After Rescuer Dies
I'm sure the elephant would have been happier too.
Computer problems. The new one worked downloading updates for nearly 24 hours then said, "Oops, didn't work, deleting everything." It did. 
Currently it's reloading them. If it works I'll run @DavidOck 's program to get rid of the social media junk and hopefully be up and running again. Anybody remember when it took less than half an hour to set up a new computer? What the hell is up with the new stuff?
Quitting while I'm ahead. Go Steve!

Yeah, we didn't have to upgrade the OS on initial install "back then." Win10? The version out of box is likely a version or so behind, so it needs to update.... and even if there are no problems at their end, you d/l speed will have an impact.

My new one tells me every couple of days that updates are available but so far I have been putting them off. I love playing Mahjong. It was a game included in the win 7 package but win 10 doesn't support it. Hubby managed to get it on this computer though. From all he read if I do the updates they will wipe it out and will prevent being able to reinstall it.61,111

From all I can tell I don't need no stinkin' updates if it is gonna do that
Win10 updates, like most OS updates, should be installed. Yeah, sometimes a hassle, but the updates are generally to fix security holes. Doesn't much matter what anti-virus you use, if the OS lets them in the back door.

Fair's fair.
Yes, ( ) Win 10. We're not getting along. Yet. However, I did say I wanted a computer that I didn't mind burning if there was a fire. There are up sides to it, just haven't found them yet. Still working on the one with the fried fan. Works if you sit it on an ice pack or bag of frozen veggies. This had to happen in the middle of summer?

61,112... again... 
Waiting for Win10 to update...
FT, if it's just the fan, they can be replaced. Or maybe even a "cooling mat" might help?
Something like this:
