The Micro-68, which did very little. The mighty Osborne One CP/M machine was the first productive machine I had, followed by the Commodore 64. Still love the Commodore machines.
Payable in lifetime subscriptions to Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited and a million in Amazon coins for the app store. If Twitch argues enough they may even score a Fire TV and a Fire phone or two.
I haven't used Norton/Symantec in a long time, way too many processes and just bloat in general. NOD32 was one I liked for a while, but now I'm happy using MSE combined with Malwarebytes and a few extras: Process blocker, WiFi Guard, herdProtect, a good hosts file and Windows 7 Manager used to check all the startup apps, services and task manager. All together this takes less memory and CPU than McAfee or Symantec and hasn't let me down yet. Apply updates immediately and watch for any new directories, running processes, startups, turn off remote connections, etc. Even with UAC turned off (It annoys the hell out of me) I've still been issue free for a long time.
A lot of failed suicide attempts were never intended to be fatal, just pleas for attention or a variety of disorders.
Successful suicides are very difficult to prosecute regardless of the legality.
For $129 shipped I thought I'd take my chances on the 1.5 terabyte drive. I couldn't get the firmware update from Seagate in any timely fashion so I went with the torrent. The drive is flashed and has been purring away for a couple of weeks now, no excessive noise, no freezing up, no problems. I was prepared for the worst when I ordered it and have been pleasantly surprised so far.
The fact that Seagate is aware of the issue and willing to do whatever it takes to keep the drives rolling all the way up to free data recovery is enough for me.
I've used Opera for a number of years now. I tried Firefox, but Opera was still faster and smoother. I've tried the updated versions, and I still end up uninstalling them and returning to Opera. I gave Chrome about 15 minutes, disliked it more than Firefox and returned to Opera. The only other browser I use is IE, and that's strictly for MS updates.
My Ubuntu box has Opera.
I'm still using my old Linksys BEFSR41 (v1), and it has to be rebooted about very 3 months when the isp assigns new ip's. Otherwise it's trouble free, unlike the newer version of the same router I set up for a friend on the same cable system. I think I'll start haunting eBay to find a backup of the same version number.
Not only does it provide more online gaming opportunities, which continues to rise in popularity, but it may well revive a lot of older games. There are a lot of "gone but not forgotten" titles that I'd love to see make a comeback, particularly with some live competition. If the prices remain this low I expect to spend a lot of time on the 360.
Umm
A lot MORE time:)
A convenient way to swap a music file or six, your favorite game saves and other small files. I've moved a lot of stuff around on a little 16 meg. Amazing how much you can stuff on those. although a gig or two would certainly be better:)
I've established a number of websites primarily for small groups of users, and every one of them has been ranked, even one set up for a friend strictly to put up family pics for his brother to see. If it's out there it's googlable. And no, I don't care if it's not a word:)
I've hesitated for some time to install any kind of bittorrent, but as a longtime Opera fiend I couldn't resist trying this. Once I set the file association it worked beautifully. Now I'm even more impressed with Opera:)
Thanks for the heads up.

Can't say the client doesn't have a nuisance factor but it does have a bounce function.

I picked up an old pentium 1 laptop a while back strictly to play all my old DOS games on. A quick install of 98SE and I'm in retro heaven.
