  1. Wisdom for a Monday morning!
  2. hmm, I wonder how well that works?
  3. No problems here.
  4. If you move things off the phone to the computer, you might need to install iTunes on the computer. I have a poster at another forum with an iPhone and no iTunes on the computer. He has asked for help because he doesn't want iTunes on the computer and he can't seem to get things moved. That's another thing to consider.
  5. This issue has been fixed. Patch Lady – Microsoft admits the bug (again) @ AskWoody steps on what to do if the upgrade was forced on you.
  6. Sadly, this is probably close to the truth.
  7. Here's a thread. It deals with an AMD processor so it might not be applicable if the computer has Intel. It is specific to the CD/DVD drive doesn't show in Windows Explorer Win 10. CD/DVD drive not appearing in File Explorer since latest Windows 10 update post # 5 and 6
  8. hmmm, perhaps I need a medical alert bracelet.
  9. See if anything here helps https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/314060/your-cd-or-dvd-drive-is-not-recognized-by-windows-or-other-programs
  10. While Cindy's away, I'll try and post something funny. In case, you are jonesin' for the "good old days", keep this in mind.
  11. I had cataract surgery in January. My eyes are like they were 30 years ago. I asked the doc if he could do something with the rest of my body. :jump:
  12. The problem with using gmail or yahoo to create additional accounts is that the spammer can figure out your real gmail account. With spamgourmet, the spammers have no idea to what email address the spam is forwarded. The spam also stopped getting forwarded after 1 to 20 emails (your choice) so you don't have to clear it out because it never arrives.
  13. I never thought to make the envelope overweight. I actually return and write on the card in red to sign up with my name on it to remove me from the mailing list. I especially wonder about where people got the mailing addresses because I get offers for hearing tests for my mother who died 5 years ago and never lived at my address! Occasionally, I get something addressed to my dad who died 18 years ago and never lived at my address.
  14. I used to like sneakemail. They forwarded an email address I created to another that the site was unaware of. I had so many email addresses and I could block particular ones if I saw a site was spamming me. Then they went pay. $3/month was a bit much so I looked for something else. I now use spam gourmet. I went to the site years ago to create a base account. Now I sign up "some word".x. "my username" @ spamgourmet.com I get to choose the word so for here, I might choose PCHelpForum The email address would be PCHelp.7."my username"@spamgourmet.com I don't have to go to the spamgourmet site to create new addresses. They'll know it is me by my username and start forwarding whatever arrives. x is some number I select between 1 and 20 for the number of emails I want forwarded. If it is an unimportant site, I choose 1. If it is a site I might have an interest in, I can choose 5, 10 or even 20. I can go back to spamgourmet and change the number associated with a particular email address. I've probably been using this for 10 or more years. spamgourmet I just went in to look at my stats there Your message stats: 94 forwarded, 1,110 eaten. You have 30 spamgourmet address(es). That's a lot of spam I never got.
  15. Use it live from a USB stick BEFORE you decide if you actually want to install it. I always test distros on sticks.
