As a PS to my previous post - MY problem with ALL of this is that
once I learn HOW to do all this....after six months or more of not
constantly being involved with it ----- I forget it ! I forget the
details and have, essentially, to re-invent the wheel ! Start from
scratch. Give me a break - I am 76 years old ! I am lucky I can go
to the bathroom by myself ! I have to come back here and have you
nice folks explain it all AGAIN after a while......
So do I also get a "break"? I'm 82, and beside building desktops I
redesign old cars.
I currently maintain four desktops and three laptops.
The apps are on an apps partition and the data is on a data partition. I
can reinstall or replace an OS and the most I need to do to the apps is
create a fresh run object (shortcut).
And updates are done in isolation. I also always have multiple versions
of each app. I never replace an app or OS until I an convinced the
replacement is superior. So every computer has multiple versions of Win
and Mozilla and/or Mozilla clones.
On desktops, the apps are on one HDD and apps and data are on another
HDD. I have clones of each. So my backup and restore is to swap a HDD.
And the OSs don't know the apps/data has changed and the apps/data
doesn't know the OSs has changed.
With a couple decent tools building a partition structure is not difficult.
And Mozilla products are very easy to organize.
.
Well congratulations on being 82 ! AND being able to do ALL THAT ! Wow.
Each of us has our Limitations (as Dirty Harry said) and I have my own.
I hope - if I make it to 82 - that I can do as well as you are now !
Keep going... Never stop....Never retire. I just wish it didn't hurt so
much !
