    Correct onetrack. i might have been made to read some Shakespeare in school (at least 65 years ago), but I don't remember any of it.

    Damned if I know what the quotation is from. Some Disney thing I think.
  11. So did the MAGA mob. Look where it got them.
  12. Well, I'm at the Shed. Tried Ctrl, Alt, Del. It said "No Apps Running". All I had was a red rectangle in the middle of the screen, taking up about 3/4 of it, warning about emerging threats that will pinch your passwords etc. Anything I tried to open was behind the red rectangle with a white border about 3mm thick around the edge. By dragging the corner of the white border, I was able to enlarge it sufficiently to access some info, identify it was something from the PC App Store flogging the McAfee antivirus. By going through File Manager I located it in the Programs folder with an Uninstall program which I ran, then deleted it all together. Back running as normal.
  13. Broken record.

    Quickies part 2

    A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that, in Spanish and several
other languages, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine
or feminine.

 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
 So, asked a student, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups,
male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether
'computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked
to give four reasons for its recommendation.
 The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the
feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.

 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.

 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible
later retrieval. 

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your pay check on accessories for it.

 The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine
( 'el computador'), because:

 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.

 2. They have a lot of data, but still can't think for themselves...

 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
 ARE the problem. 

 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

 The women won.
