    I'm still on 7 for my desktop. I see no reason to change. It just works. The laptop came with 11. If there are any applications I need which won't run on 7 there's always the laptop.

    Empire in Decline

    I certainly remember that. Trump can't be trusted. I wish more people would have realized this before voting for him. I'm reminded of the old tale of the woman and the snake. Many versions of that but this one I like the best: Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a...

    Now I have another question. My 30 day free trial is over in a few days. Right now the trial is on IMEI 1 (the phone has an eSIM). Is there any issue with putting my permanent service on IMEI 2 now? This way I'll have use of both my temporary and permanent phone numbers while I transition. I...

    Need help with getting a phone

    I promise I'll control the urge to get anything else from Apple. I swear. Oh wait a minute. That new iPad looks really nice. And the Macbook Air. And the Apple Vision Pro. Oh no, they're sucking me in! I can't control it! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: It must be subliminal advertising. Quick...

    I understand. Besides, it sounds like you would piss off your landlord if you did car work in the parking lot.

    I do want to buy a used car

    You could do most things with ramps that you can do with a lift: https://www.google.com/search?q=car+ramps&oq=car+ramps&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512l9.3168j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 My brother does most things with ramps. Occasionally a lift is needed. Then he has to go to a mechanic.
