Yes, I have that cassette. No, I’m not sending it. I have a cassette player in one car.

@COramprat yes, I have family that still use their old Win 7 laptops for older files we did not move all over to the new ones and for the Win10’s are dragging butt and need updated or hit with a sledgehammer.

I saw Hall n Oates in concert.

I remember it would take me several hours to make a 110 minute with about 20-25 songs mixed cassette of music I liked. Now I can download 1000 songs in under an hour.

I still have the song, especially the sax solo on repeat in my head. Thanks!

Computer question,
If a Win 10 laptop that should still be running smoothly wants to update to Win 11, should I let it? Will it run any slower? With Win 10, I need to turn it on and update it before I use it weekly. Otherwise, it is slow and a PITA. I took off McAffe and Chrome, and reinstalled Win 10 to get it running right a while back.

The other home computers are Win 10 (formerly 7), a Win 7, and for now, Maria’s Win 11 laptop Dell. So I’m already doing the mixed home network thing.

Have you ever tried to upgrade the RAM?

I'm replacing the windows in the front of the house but I think that book would be no help at all.

Hopefully not another 30 years.

Dream of unlimited, clean nuclear fusion energy within reach

The old joke is that nuclear fusion is always 30 years away. Yet the dream of abundant clean energy is no laughing matter as we meet an ITER researcher to catch up on progress at the reactor facility.

Not totally true. If the book is a hefty one like the Windows Resource Manual, you can use it to beat the computer into submission.
