Enough rain last nite to be wet this morning, not enough to clean the roads. Lot more in the 10 day forecast, though, maybe a thuderstorm Sunday.
Funny how some programs still work fine in XP, but not Win 7, and I'm talking about the latest updates in the past year. I wonder if the last windows updates for 7 deliberately sabotaged it, stuff that worked fine on the setup that died won't work on the new one. I'm just gonna use it for financial stuff anyway. Forums, general browsing, graphics and video, are back on this XP machine for now. So far most of the programs I use still support XP.
I'm not much past the XP era in knowing windows, gave up the little computer support business I was doing when XP came out, most of the business software I dealt with was DOS based and a real headache to mesh with XP systems, even some of the earlier windows stuff. I think XP was the biggest single improvement in the series, but it also introduced complexity I just got tired of dealing with, was taking too much of my time when I had a day job, too. Wasn't a problem for my home systems, would still use it for everything if I could.
