A Thin Client
After my latest encounter with Windows 10 I think M$ is continuing the trend it started by moving Office and Outlook to the Internet, and now moving almost everything online.
Consider 50+ seconds to load the ‘Solitaire app’ and then a request to log in at the XBox gaming site. The difference between the last time I loaded the app and this time, is that I have moved my modem and this box is now on WiFi vice Ethernet. The things that were slow before are now crawling.
Of course, this was after it took 3 minutes to boot up because M$ thought I should choose a background from a series of pictures and gave no option to stop screwing around and bring up the system. Having the time prominently displayed when you are wasting someone’s life just pisses them off. [If you don’t understand why I get so annoyed about wastes of my time – wait until you are my age and you will understand.]
Every time I go to do anything on Win 10 I see the light on the WiFi adapter start blinking like crazy. I think tomorrow I will see what happens when I boot after unplugging from the ‘Net.

She’s the only planet we have, if we blow it, we can’t pack up and move.
