Hi Everett:

I have almost as much distrust for Microsoft, Apple and Google as I do our current Government. Although I've heard plenty of upbeat "hoopla" about Windows 10, remember the disaster that was Windows 8. I would wait a while, let the dust settle and the bugs get fixed before I uploaded the "free" version of Windows 10.

I hear it takes about an hour, is really fast and actually has a "start menu" like Windows 7 and previous versions. When Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP I was really unhappy. To me, it was the most stable, bug free operating system these cookoos ever patched together. Perfect for music, writing and photography. (Can you tell I'm not a big fan of "Apps?")

Remember, my approach to modern technology has turned me into a dinosaur... and to me, that's not all bad. I hope Windows 10 is a complete success and that it is truly "backward compatible" with all my software, including DOS.

Best wishes, ----Dave
