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...

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?

Hello
I hope this is the appropriate place for my topic as it is non Windows.

Most of us try and keep our machines cleaned periodically from dust and all that. I just retired last year as a heavy machinist where a lot of the work is cast iron. They used a lot of low end Windows NT and 95 desktops and some lasted for 10-15 years with no maintenance. They were always on and...
