   Fact is, Carlos, I just don't care for Winders at all, and I won't use it   
   if possible not to.   
      
   OTOH, I've been using linux since the last century where possible and I   
   love it.   
      
   BTW, I have a tale of woe re Windows 10 and Norton from yesterday. It's   
   OT here, but it would curl your hair at the scam I found Norton running   
   on a Winders user I spent a long day helping. Shocker, actually.   
      
   Again, profitable though. Hee. Only charged her for a fraction of the   
   seven hours though, as she's low income.
