It isn't just Micro$not; they are in a conspiracy with hardware
manufacturers, et al.
Much more sensible to make do with what we already have working, and
just go for antique software if any turns up.
Sure we'll get links to sites that don't work, emails with content we
can't open, and so on.
We just need to be patient and let the rest of the world go to hell in
the handbaskets of their own making <GGGG>
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
