In a message on Friday 10-12-16 Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:

GE Ed,

 PQ>> Ahmm... the "Great Race" is on this weekend, Holger.

 HG> I do however expect a new weekly listing today, .......

EV> I am not a fan of Automobile Racing, but I hope You and Paul like
EV> watching the races, and the Drivers all drive across the Finish

The Bathurst race is one of the hightlites on the racing calendar.

I can also tell you Ed, that the form of racing in VK and ZL, is totally
different from the oval races in the US.

I really enjoy looking at the races, since the drivers are more
disciplined, and the rules don't allow any pushing of competitors.

The same goes for most international and british races.

 PQ> I gave up on Windows 8.1 after I got a pop-up from Hewlett-Packard
 PQ> advising that the warranty had expired, and, also being bugged by
 PQ> Avast warnings about renewing my registration.

EV> I run XP and Vista and gonna stay with them after reading comments
EV> on askwoody.com about Microsoft changing Win7 updates to be like
EV> WinTen does, "Get 'Em All In One Big File",
EV> No Option to choose from those that are proven to be Safe.

Consequently, you both missed the boat, while an upgrade to 10 was free!
Since XPp I have not used any intermediate version of Windows, until I
received a Dell laptop with Win 10 as a xmas present from my GS.

After noting that it is a viable upgrade, I didn't waste any time to buy
a stationary machine with Win7 and upgraded it to Win10 for free.

The problems I've had, are related to moving to new programs that don't
work as the ones I have for OS/2, for example moving from PMMail to
Thunderbird. There I've received help from Paul, and from Jean for the
shorthands to call up functions/programmes in Win10.

EV> I was thinking that MS would at least still offer that Malicious
EV> Software Removal Tool for the XP box but my experience the other day
EV> taught me that they don't care to protect what they sell.

There are free programs for that purpose, but of course not everything
that glitters is gold. I did recently learn that Malware is free only
for a limited time.

AD-aware has gone from an anti-ad software, to a 'full-fledged' virus
program. I was only interested in the anti-ad property, since I have AVG
installed on both Win10 machines, as well as ZoneAlarm.

EV> And I'm too cheap to buy a pc with a 'Newer' OS that MS wants to
EV> Control from their HQ.

Suit yourself, anyway you did miss the free boat, hi.
