WordPerfect? Quottro Pro?
Are they still around?
Well, not any more. I deleted them & downloaded Apache OpenOffice.
But I think they're owned by Corel, which is also still around.
Cheers

My new laptop just arrived. I finally broke down and ordered a
refurbished HP Elitebook from Newegg. Intel i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB

Replaces my 11 year old Toshiba. I expect I'll finally be able
to run Photoshop CS6 Extended on a laptop.
This might be a good time to reconsider your position on Windows
10. You've got two years left before Microsoft drop all support
for W7. That means there won't even be any security updates after
Jan 2020.
F*** 'em. I'll figure out how to install Linux ... or maybe turn
it into a Hackintosh.
UBUNTU is an easy install. Download the file and write it to a DVD -
maybe a memory stick by now, shove it in the machine and follow
instructions. Automatically installs Firefox and Thunderbird.
(Windows) problems fixed, permanently.
For now I'm sticking with Windoze7, at least until Micro$oft murders it.
But, yes, most likely Ubuntu when my paranoia level at the lack of
security updates after Jan 2020.
I am pretty much removing ALL of the pre-installed "software" to make
room for the programs *I* use. The trial versions of Word Perfect and
Quatro Pro are going bye-bye; so is "BullGuard".
Open Office, here I come.
Antivirus software? How does Windoze Defender compare to aftermarket
products?
None of the reviews (PC Magazine, PC World, TopTen) even list it. But
I'm not sure how much faith I can put in them, because some of them
rate Norton highest (and the others recommend it highly).
My previous experience with Norton is why I'm using AVG currently.
Recently AVG has begun exhibiting the same behavior that pissed me off
against Norton.
Definitely not going with Kaspersky. Maybe Bitdefender or Avast?
Or is Windoze Defender good enough?
