I figured I could just run a single run duct down the middle with vents out the side like I have seen in commercial type buildings. I would probably have to get somebody to hook it up as I assume the copper lines would need to be welded or soldered or whatever they do. Sent from my iPhone >

The legal department might have wanted to appeal, Don, but the ad department might have nixed it since it would have given MS even more bad publicity. There has supposedly been a lot of concern about programs in Win10 that can collect all sorts of personal and business data, and that has hurt

The only thing that irritates me is that they have 32 checkout lanes (at mine, I was there the other day buying oil) and maybe 3 are open, with nice, but intellectually-challenged, checkout people who take forever to check stuff out. But what balances that is the overall people experience,

Curt, Thanks for the pirep. My brother (who is an IT pro) says the same thing. I'm just an old fart and every time I upgrade an MS product there is a learning curve and I never develop the same proficiency with the newer product. So, my question is: does WIN 10 actually have any additional
