  1. Re:Current PCs are good enough. on PC Shipments In 2013 See the Worst Yearly Decline In History · · Score: 1

    My online friend saw Windows 95 on a cashier machine in a Chinese branch store recently. My dentist still uses Windows XP. I still use Windows XP Pro. SP3 at home and will keep doing it until it or its hardware dies badly.

    I know this married non-(geek/nerd)y Canadian gal who 3s her touchscreen lappy with its W8. :O

  3. Re:Why not just multiple monitors. on 4K Is For Programmers · · Score: 1

    For me, I just multiple virtual desktops even on a 19" 1280x1024 screen. I don't like multiple monitors because of their frames/splits. I want nonstop screen with no breaks. I also hate turning my head.

    Ever since Gmail was introduced and searched your e-mails to show ad(vertisement)s, I used Gmails for spams and stuff I care not for. I am glad not to be using Gmails.

    Yeah, this DVR has weird bugs. I wished CM and EchoStar would upgrade more. :( Overall, they are decent DVRs.

  15. Re:Vista still ahead of 8.1! on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Pass 10% Market Share, Windows XP Falls Below 30% · · Score: 1

    I'd rather use Vista, Me, 3.x, etc. than W8.x. :P I am sticking with my old Windows XP Pro. SP3 at home even after April 8th, 2014. I will install 64-bit W7 on any my new PC whenever that is.

    I haven't had those crashes, but had weird glitches like time changes messing up my timers. It happens to others. I use my DTV Pal DVR as a backup. ;)

    One thing:Subscription is required or too expensive to buy for lifetime. Also, it requires to phone home.

  18. Re:Wanted: VCR on ABC Kills Next-Day Streaming For Non-Subscribers · · Score: 1

    My uncle, others, and I have a DTV Pal DVR before Dish/Echostar dropped this OTA DVR. It doesn't require subscriptions too. It's great!! I would get another one if mine died, but CM seems to have taken over. I'd prefer computers though since I can copy, edit, etc. my recordings. Hardware DVRs can't.
