  1. Re:Brainwashing on Starbucks' Music Is Driving Employees Nuts (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Ha. My folks keep their jingle bells ringers on their landline cordless phones. It drives me bonker. Its ringers are even changeable. [sighs]

  5. Re:generation mismatch on Samsung To Stop Making 4K Blu-Ray Players, Report Says (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not just video medias. Same for computer technologies. Others and I got sick of it. We'll just keep using the old stuff that still work, stable, cheaper, etc. For an example, I still use my decade old home built desktop PCs, OmniCube KVM from Y2K, inkjet printer from 2006, etc. I finally went HDTV from CRT TV in late 2014. When I was younger, I used to want the (new/lat)est stuff but things got buggy, costly, annoying, etc. :(

  6. never! :P

    Did Norton products really change it as of 2014? That's dumb/lame. I remember telling to NOT automatically create rules and to ask me what to do first. I currently use PC Tools Firewall Plus v7.0 in my decade old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC.

    This is why I stop upgrading softwares.I still use my decade old desktop PCs and softwares. They mostly work fine. I care not. I used to upgrade often for gaming, but I game rarely these days.
