Sounds like every version of Windows. He wrote on his Mac.

Just think of it like doing the bunny hop – you have to hop backwards before you can hop forward.

His hardware probably can’t support a software upgrade.

The result of Windows and Apple getting into the health industry….

Whadda hoot!

I quit the auto updates. I still use Office 2007. All of the rest of my programs have worked well for years. Why upgrade? It just messes things up.

Feels somehow terribly, ruinously familiar with Windows. Three updates in two weeks??!?!?!?!!

Hey! Where did all my thumbnails go? Uh, oh. Did Windows just update?

If cars worked the way operating systems do, you would carefully think through your needs in a car and decide on, say, an F-150. One fine day, you would wake up to a message on your phone that says, “your car has been updated!” You would go out in the garage and find your Mini Cooper sitting there.

I was offered an update for one of my music notation software packages. I reviewed the features it offered and noticed that one of the old features I like to use would be deleted. I haven’t gotten an update as I would lose that special feature of the old software.

I have four PCs and a couple of personal devices. I’m an IT professional and resent the significant amount of time I have to spend on updates and upgrades, each month, on all the software I run. Would you drive a car that had to be “updated” every month? Guess what? That’s coming soon.

DOS 4.0

Sounds right.

We know that Dr Mel is a mad scientist, but now he’s taking after Microsoft???

One of several detestable things about Bill Gates, along with the “Funding a vaccine while believing that the Earth is overpopulated” thing, is that EVERY Windows upgrade involves a loss, so many good screensavers and other usefull features that are not in the forced upgrade.

Oldbot….I’d call Dr. Noonian Soong.

XP is still working fine.   I’d still be using 98 if the only computer that can run it hadn’t fried its power supply.

My new flip phone is inferior in every way to the one I wore out.   It’s longer and wider and thicker, it doesn’t have “templates” — pre-written messages I can send after putting “one o’clock” after “at” — and it has a lot of “features” that I have to be careful not to click on.
