Thank you Handy for providing this forum for us!

I use the front top USB 2 & 3 ports on my case a lot, so am worried that I'll wear them out. Decided to buy short USB 3 extension cables. Good ones don't seem to exist; decent ones are 6' long. Unusable for me at that length. Then I bought a couple of right angle usb 3 adapters that were highly...

:cry: Does it come with a money back option? What will you buy instead? Do you still have your Element?

Dang. I've forgotten how to multi-quote. Anyway, Handy & Gödel, I've nevr wanted to be on the bleeding edge, and moved to W11 kicking and screaming because I wanted up to date security and MS did all that fear mongering about W10. Thanks Merc. Any serious bugs to be aware of?

All this happened a long time ago and is not relevant to me now, so my brain has forgotten parts of it. In 2000, I bough a T23 and installed additional ram to take it to 8 GB (max, IIRC). OS was W2000. Bought a copy of VMWare Workstation - Ver. 2 or 3. I set up a 3-tier architecture in it. Front...

My system showed the windows update icon, so I clicked on it. Apparently Windows 11 26H2 is available. Anybody installed it yet? Don't want to be the guinea pig.

Happy for you, jtr. I hope your dreams come true. You deserve it.

Merc, Google AI says Honda is reportedly planning to bring back the Element as a hybrid in 2029.

Sorry to hear, Merc. Hope you get power real quick.

What happened to DB 1 ?

My laptop doesn't have the space, Merc. And I don't necessarily want to keep any data there. When I need to, I'll have to plug in a USB 3 spinning external drive to access slightly old data. I've been backing up to these for years and haven't had the data reliability / integrity problems you...

Thanks Merc. Space, money constraints plus at my age, have no patience for monkeying around. I'll just live with it.

Thanks Merc. I'll have to sit on this. Reliability or speed problems or expense not appropriate for the situation. Sigh. I'll just live with what I have.

Any recommendations for an external box with a USB-C interface that can hold 2 x SSds and 2 x NVME drives? Reliability and data integrity have to be rock solid. If such a beast exists at an affordable price, I'll move my data drives off the PC into this so I have data portability. Even one that...

Why am I logged out of the forum so frequently? Firefox updates? Not a gamer, but about 2 weeks ago, turned on my PC, put in my Win pw, desktop showed up, then the PC abruptly shutdown by itself. I waited a bit and tried restarting, no go. I'm an old fart now and have forgotten most of my...
