Given that software has started deteriorating with each successive release, constant upgrades are looking less and less attractive. But M$ would have you pay them whether you "upgrade" or not - it's just a way to rake in more money for doing nothing. > Bill Gates isn't a hero for his business work, he's a hero for his > charity work. <gag, choke> I gotta stop eating while reading. I figure Bill set up his foundation for one of two reasons: 1. To atone for the damage he's done to the computer industry. 2. As a PR move. Now that Melinda has separated from him and is starting to spend some of that money on actual charities, Bill is pissed. > What do you do if you need a computer when you're driving? > Do you even realize that you can get a map app on the smartphone? Most of my driving is in areas I've driven for 60 years. If I need to find details of one of the few areas I'm not familiar with, I have a map book in the car (and road maps for longer trips). Or I can look it up on my computer before I leave home.
