WI Cynic posted on Main Page The Lobby  The timing was horrible. I had no idea how often I lurked here for enjoyment until the election was going on and the Connection was off. Withdrawel symptoms... not pretty. November 8 at 23:21 EST .    Hollyhock  Like you I come here often. Left a big void when the Connection was off. Don't post much anymore but still enjoy reading. Glad it's back. Thanks to Luis and the crew. November 8 at 23:39 EST .    Prudente  Most know I rarely post - I'm so glad the site is back up and I can enjoy all the comments. Thanks loads.

WI Cynic posted on Computers &Tech Issues  For you users of Windows 7... Some cheapskate around here hasn't bought a new PC in quite a while; it's still running Windows XP (when it's not running linux ). It may be time to replace it with something a little newer. Did you have XP before 7? How do you like 7 in comparison? April 20 at 19:00 EST .    BubbaEuler  I like my Win 7 HP x64 very much and for many different reasons. I loved my old XP but the new 64 bit Win 7 is easier to use and easier to maintain. I would not go back to XP unless ... well, I just wouldn't! April 21 at 10:45 EST .    Balogreene  As a writer, and therefore Word Processor, I hated 7 when I first got it. They changed all the menus and nothing seemed intuitive any more. I took a day, all 8 hours of it at work, to set up my own shortcuts bar, and really learn it. I am once again a power user, but, I still don't like it. Today it took me 10minutes to figure out how to "insert" a comment. It's under "review", I added it to my shortcuts bar. April 25 at 18:34 EST .    WI Cynic  Outcome: the new (comparatively ) PC will have Windows 7, mostly because the maker doesn't have any XP drivers for it. Enthusiasm = low. May 8 at 07:30 EST .    Phooey  I switched to Win7 from Win98. What a shock! Talk about cheap! May 16 at 18:20 EST .    Bob913  Here is some help for Word http://word.mvps.org/ I do not like Office 2010 For Word and Excel you can use this UBitMenu toolbar. It puts back the Office 2003 toolbar you are familiar with. Free. http://www.ubit.ch/software/ubitmenu-lan guages/ You all will hate Windows 8! June 3 at 18:32 EST .
