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

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

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.
