Oh well. I was planning to upgrade anyway, just procrastinating since 2020.

No I don't run these new-fangled windows things.
I run OS/MVS 3.8j (1981), Commodore 64 DOS (1983), Cray OS 1.17 (1990), MS-DOS 5.0 (1991)

Ain't that bad. I upgraded to W11 from W10. I made a bunch of changes and registry edits, removed, disabled, and deleted a bunch of stuff and now it resembles Windows 10. I held off until last year to make the switch. Windows 11 is pretty resilient. Do one thing, disable Microsoft One, it wants to store your computer files in the cloud. I did not notice it was running in the background and when I deleted the cloud files it deleted them off my computer as well. I have an external drive constantly backing things up.

Ah, progress is unstoppable. I heard DTG is planning to port the TS to Linux.
