retirement

Hello everyone. I know this is an open question, but some quick background. First, prior to retiring, I was in tech and development for 30 years, so not afraid of new tech. I tried Zoho One a couple of years ago, but didn't have the time to really dig into it or justify the cost. Now I have...

Last month, we reported that the end of Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) was getting closer, as an MSDT retirement banner was spotted inside a Windows 11 Dev Channel build. We speculated that the reason behind the change was to make upcoming Windows versions, like next gen Windows 11 and...

So am retiring my 12 yr old windows 7 laptop as the pile of quirks builds. As a quick side note- replaced it with an HP AIO dual drive now set up for Linux/Windows 11 dual boot. Seems ok so far. Anyhow- took one of the final steps toward retiring the old laptop a few days ago by disconnecting...

I was talking to HOLDUM333 yesterday, on an open thread on a Win7 help issue, and we got to talking about the old days of computer stuff, and he's even older than I am--starting to feel like a fossil now that I'm retired! :bigtongue: So, he suggested we talk about that stuff here in the Water...

July 14th will mark the end of life / support (security updates, etc.,) for Windows Server 2003 (the XP Server equivalent). http://www.computerworld.com/article/2872316/laggards-face-looming-windows-server-2003-retirement.html I still run one of these in a VM for the occasional support question...

Hi all, I've been away from Windows since my retirement 2 years ago; running Fedora Linux on my PCs. I'm wondering if I'm really missing anything running Linux. What applications do you run every day in Windows? Terry

Hello I hope this is the appropriate place for my topic as it is non Windows. I was thinking of getting a Cloudbook as we are older and need simplicity. Windows is going techy. I have read a lot about these books and they seem a lot simpler to run. There is no maintenance and security seems not...

Microsoft's 13-year CEO announced today his plans to retire within the next year, which surely brings closure to many people who were always skeptical of his behaviour as a person and strategies for the company itself. It's been announced Microsoft is working with both founder Bill Gates and...

I have a Roland CDR-II drive which was purchased several years ago as a stand alone device. I have been unable to locate the drivers required to make this device functional. This device uses a db25 to usb adaptor. It appears Win 7 is incapable of handling this situation. This cd drive was...
