Windows 2000 was for enterprise, not home use. 8 was for mobile & touchscreens (at first) and that failed miserably yes, hence their 8.1 release. Just like ME they tried hopping on a bandwagon and it flopped. Two major flops in 23 years is not a bad record. But my point remains that when whatever new OS comes out, people look back at the last one with rose tinted glasses.

I've been using windows all my life and I've never seen anyone not say this about "their" version. Except ME. Fuck ME.

But seriously my dad refused to switch to Windows from DOS for the longest time. 95? The best. 98? Can't upgrade. Xp or die. 7 forever. 10 or bust. In 10 years it will be people clamoring over 11 and refusing to switch.

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.

In my experience, everything else on thinkpads can and will be abused by my users but the trackpoint is one thing I've never had to replace. Most of my new hires don't even know what it does.

I'm not confused why they're doing it, I'm confused why they think b&m stores are the way to go. I'm sure they can subsidize any potential losses from other money making areas but why not just sell the merch online? Storefront overhead ain't cheap.

Oh it's fantastic, just wanted to throw in at least one reputable film

  • Suburban Sasquatch
  • chopping mall
  • She Came From The Woods
  • Army of Darkness
  • Carnosaur
  • Killer Clowns From Outer Space
  • Feeders
  • Hack-o-lantern
  • Hauntedween

Take your pick, some of these are actual movies, some pretend to be (looking at you Suburban Sasquatch). You'll have some laughs regardless of the pick.
