Anyway to speed Firefox up?

Firefox runs with a LOT less CPU then Chrome. 16% with a show running and this window open. Chrome would be over 80% with the same running. WHY?

Thank you all for the wonderful responses. David thank you for the suggestions on the initial build. One bit of humor: I told the guy who was going to work on the machine that I had 96GB of Ram. He kind of nodded, thinking I was having a senior moment, like I'm sure 99% of his customers. When I...

Learning this trackball mouse really needs a second, vertical/normal mouse as a backup. It can get frustrating, but being able to use a normal mouse with my right hand solves a lot of the frustration, and there is PLENTY.

Ok. Those Safari adds brought up an intresting point. What Browser do you recommend?

Thanks all. I think I'll follow Sedrosken, and stay with Office 2006-7, or Wordperfect 6x Office. I own both, and don't have to do any of their stuff. If I want to get fancy, I'll give Googles office stuff a try, too. Much difference between Office 2006 and 2021? How do you get 2021? I see...

Anyone used software authorizations from these people? https://www.gamers-outlet.net/en/microsoft-office-2021-professional-plus-iso

Thank you so much for the detailed, comprehensive response. Your awesome.!

Raid 1?

Doesn't Intel have some new Raid 0 software? How does it work?

DD: 96 gigs of ram enough? Possible to run a Raid 0 with two SSDs? Either worth considering? Any speed gain a human would notice? g

Thanks. Trackball mouse is in, and hooked up. Feels kind of cheap compared to the old Kensington trackball I had, but, it's not 150.00 either. The whole thumb thing is going to be a new kind of coordination for me to learn. Which is great. Need challenges at my age. Thanks again. Turned the...

Mercutio: Do you have a place to buy used components, for great prices?

Have two Elecom mice up and working, left and right hands. the right is the Xlg, and fits my hand very well. The large doesn't fit as well, but allows me to put the razer mouse away.

I did. For the one I just bought, it was 3.00 cheaper. Also bought a large, wired, left handed backup mouse to replace the one I'm going to have to trash, that wasn't wired, or dongled. I kind of learned a lesson. Elecom appears to have stopped making Extra Large left handed vertical mice. I'm...

This looks like the one: Big, wider then any I've used, and I hope it's up to Mercutio's standards. Price at 41.00 is right, too. Aren't a lot of choices for left handed. This is it, pretty much.

This looks intresting, but more complicated then I'm after:

Elecom makes a left handed track ball version for a reasonable price, 40.00 Kensington was the trackball I used with the macs, but the same design, or near it, is now 110.00.

Got the right hand version of the Elecom working, and installed the software. Left handed doesn't have a dongle, and won't work with Bluetooth on it's own. This is the third computer I've tried it on, so it maybe trash time.

Periexx looks pretty good, and the price is reasonable.

Elecom looks a LOT like the Logitech vertical mouse, for 29.00. Plus, they make BIG, XL mice. The Logitech M575 might be worth a look... Ergo S is 120.00? Are they on Fentanyl?

What Pistol grip mice have you tried? Which Logitech are you using? Reviews?

Late 90's I had trackballs with the Macs. White bottom, big ball. Can't find a picture. I have a problem with too much oil on my fingers, face, etc. Trackballs don't much like that. This is as close as I've come to a pistol grip mouse:

Input devices are something we use ALL the time. My choices right now are: Yes, it's 20 years old. Mine is left handed, and I have a right handed one, as well. I would like to have two mice, one right, and one left, at the same time. My right hand mouse is this one...

My corsairs strafe is gone. Del and a couple other important keys died. Been using the Unicomp https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/NEW_M Bought it before it went up 80 dollars, a long time ago. ctrl key is a little sticky, and really miss being able to change the lighting like I can on the...

Another light switch. Tried this one: another light switch backup keyboard. Prices are going up faster then the stock market. Custom build is looking better all the time, and may just stay with th NuPhy 96...

Amazing! Great build!

Thank you for the reply. Running ESET NOD 32 right now, and it should be clean. Pay for that. I haven't installed 2006 office on the laptop. Using WPX6 office. PDFGear looks to work well for me. Google docs is a solution I may try for awhile. I will try SumatraPDF. NordVPN was paid for, but...

Any suggestions for something to replace PirateBay?

Thank you for the help. I use VLC. Trying Photopad. Fast even on my laptop. Going to try the others in time. Trying One Picture Viewer. Is that the one you meant? VPN using NordVPN, except on my laptop. Only problem then is I can't use Hulu, which I do a LOT. Never tried qbittorrent. Trying now...

Hi I'm really not a big fan of subscription software. With 11, I'm searching for new software to do basic tasks that I had covered in the past. PDF reading and creating? Basic Word Processing documents, and printing? VPN? Downloading Torrents? Music? Photoshop type stuff: Looking at pictures...

Thank you.

Surgery for right wrist is coming up. The left wrist has been great, after the surgery.

Going to try these.

Or MGX Hyperdrive switches ??? Corsair is coming up with all kinds of fun switches.

Anyone ever tried these switches? CORSAIR OPX Switch

I always thought the Kindle too small, so I was trying bigger tablets. I'm trying a few, and keeping the one we like. SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G 2021 (64GB, 4GB) 12.4” Android Tablet, All Day Battery, Snapdragon 750 5G/LTE/WiFi (GSM Unlocked for AT&T, T-Mobile, Global) SM-T738U (w/S-Pen...

Main interest is putting books, through Amazon, and Kindle, on the Fire. How does it work for that? So far the two books I put on it where a bit more work then they should be. Also seems Kindle only wants the books downloaded to one divice, or they want to charge.

Thanks. Good to know. What would you pick, of the ones you suggested?

Found a refurb for 139 with new warranty from Amazon, so went with that. Amazon lists as 'new'

Just compared the Fire to the Kindle. She likes the bigger, much fewer page changes of the the Fire, with the same size text. Plus all the other stuff she can do with it. So now I need to figure out when to get the bigger one.

RESURRECTION: My roommate loves to read. She has a Kindle, but they all seem to be 7" screens. Plus the controls aren't exactly user friendly. The library has a site we can pull up books, and if avaliable, go to Amazon Prime, and download them for 3 weeks for free. I was looking for a bigger...

Sort of the same issue: I've tested, and concluded the motherboard has Bluetooth issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for a PCIe card that would work with 11, and is capable of picking up my speaker system's Bluetooth signal? The speaker system is NOT the issue. Connects VERY quickly to my...

Thank you. I did do a clean install, from a Disc, so is the Norton s...t on the disk, or is it coming in on the upgrade? Think maybe the later?

That's done.
