    The cybersecurity part of my life would say that one shouldn’t run an unpatched and EOL operating system and install Linux but yeah I guess if people wants to run old insecure software and hold on to microsoft that sucks I guess.

      i’ve got someone here clinging to winme of all things. it’s only just this year started to be a ‘problem’, i.e. not allow him to do something he wants to.

      that’s not even the dumbest part.

      he got a replacement years ago–that’s literally still new-in-box. that new pc has sat unopened and unused for its windows’ entire service life.

      the old coot lives too far away for me to go help. i keep asking him to bring it all to me to see what’s what, but he hasn’t yet.
