Re: So, update time.

I have seen a couple Lenovo recommendations in here so far. On the low end systems, they are not good.

Re: So, update time.

Older versions of Office that need to activate will no longer install as MS has removed the activation servers for them. I think anything 2010 and prior are affected. This is from my experience working in a computer repair shop in Canada, so things may work differently for you there. If you want a f...

Re: Advice from techs

Leader of the Gruug... references to magic, smart while appearing to be primitive, in an important position to be in the right place to help if needed, but would be overlooked unless he had to step in. Just a thought....

Re: It's the news you never want to get.

I saw your tweet that your mom got to come home today. I am sorry to hear the sad news about her health, but glad to see that you are able to have her at home. It is never easy to deal with these situations and we all do it differently. I wish you all the best.

Re: Rumours of my demise - were not started by me!

Here is all 9 chapters that I edited for my own purposes. I may have missed some things but I tried to fix the glaring errors like the wrong names being used.

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my own wife 7 years ago this month. I only recently started doing things we used to do together.
