There was a time when I would have agreed with you. In this day and age, Win 10 is complicated beyond this user's capability to follow a set of mutually exclusive text menus and settings with more on/off switches than a bunch of Altair 8800's stacked to the ceiling and cascaded additionally. Who outside of specialists can understand the implications of so many settings?
There was also a time when Googling a resolution of a Windows matter was fairly easily had. Anymore one can spend hours reading what doesn't apply to find what does apply. The overhead of maintaining my system has grown quite a bit. PC ---> Personal Computer..? No longer. It may be 'personal' in that one owns the hardware...arguably the software. The resources required to keep up with it get a bit beyond 'personal.' 73, Dick - KA5KKT PS What wonders await us in May..? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ "Regarding computer-related problems, having provided on-line and telephone tech support for Gateway, the majority of troubles with which I helped were user-induced. I liken the issue to when I had responsibility for a small phone system--lack of knowledge on using that "tool." I assert we need to have sufficient knowledge to operate and maintain our computers, just like our radios. Sometimes we need to seek help from others, often found on this list. - K8TE" ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
