    I hadn't looked at the radar all day, but, WOW... that thing is right on top of Tampa right now! I knew the on-shore winds would be rough on Tampa/Bradenton if it went north, but... Y'all be careful down there!

    One thing that's puzzled me is the lack of a single acronym to describe "that terrorist group that I shall not directly name here": I S I S I S I S I L others and that name that Kerry always calls them (from what I understand, that one pizzez them off for whatever reason) Just pick one, and...

    Thanks for the link Mike... I've heard of/read about the Meerkat but didn't know the same company made Linux laptops too... nice. Don't know exactly, doesn't seem like it's been 10 years, but has been quite a few. After my interest was rekindled just a few weeks ago, I dug around and found a...

    For general use, the home user market seems to be covered pretty well by open source programs, but your average user is not going through the hassle of piecing together an OS, drivers, apps, and all the other parts, even if it's all free! Are there any 'turn-key' hardware/Linux home systems out...

    Wish I could say that... no, REALLY! I could live the rest of my days on Linux. ...but Windoze is my living as a self-employed computer tech... a one-man show in a one-horse town as it were, a small rural county where everybody-knows-everybody. I have to recommend software to home and small...

    Yeppers!... In Win10, if you install a third-party AV, Defender 'turns itself off'... if you then un-install said other AV, Windows turns Defender back on. Make sure you manually check Windows Firewall to make sure it also got turned back on. Bit Defender is a good, light, free AV. I quit...

    Strictly my opinion, but: 1. Win10 has Windows Defender built-in. Defender is basically MS Security Essentials from previous Win versions, but 'baked into' Win10. Security Essentials is the only virus protection I've used on 6 personal computers here at my house - no problems... but as with any...

    Have you downloaded the latest version of the drivers from Logitech? Sorry if'n ya already did that, was just my first thought - since the CD that came with your kbd/trackball might install but still not be fully compatible with Win10. Oh yeah.... Hey y'all! :D

    I learned that the HARD way... hung it - no problem... taped it too... but trying to finish the seams finished me! Finally hired a guy to finish it after much time, many failed attempts, and plenty of cussin'. Agreed. But then - seems nothing 'worth it' is ever easy. ;) A very worthy goal...

    Lady walks into a pharmacy one day: Pharmacist: Can I help you find something? Lady: Yes, I'd like some Nair hair remover please. He gets it for her and says: If you're going to use this on your legs, don't wear pants for a few days. Lady: It's not for my legs Pharmacist: oh, OK... If you...

    I was standing in our 'laundry/mud room' (aka my vape lab) yesterday, absent-mindedly looking out the window while talking to Debadoo on the phone, and looky who came a-callin' - took the pic through the window. She stayed around for a good while, just munchin' and relaxing in the shade...
