That’s a rather elf-serving statement.

That is ok, Microsoft can afford to buy their own presents.

I have several computers and one time I couldn’t get into any of them because they were all updating for about 45 minutes.

I’ve often wondered what the criteria for naughty/nice was. I need to know if that one thing I did pushed me over the line.

I have always believed that computers are works of the Devil. What, you’ve never seen someone at a computer keyboard taking the Lord’s name in vain?

nicely played

Packard Bell laptop is complicated, to sleigh the least.

This really hits home for me! I’m running my main Mac at least 4 OS releases behind. I’m very proficient having started in 1984 with the first of a couple of dozen Macs over the years. There are VERY good reasons for hanging back. The most important is the preservation of my 32-bit Adobe Creative Suites. They have gone to a subscription model priced for professionals. I’m one of those “pro-sumers” who use the apps every day but can’t pay hundreds of dollars a year for the privilege. There IS a nice M-1 MacBook Air that I keep up to date :-)

my computer beat me in a game of chess but is no match for me in kickboxing.
