I'm not happy, I was indifferent but there must be balance.
There is entirely to much happy going on around here.
I will sacrifice my equilibrium and go grumpy to restore the balance.

That's the job of our Grey Lord the Asmo.  Where's he gone this time?

You couldn't  possibly conceive of the "where" so I'm excusing myself from explaining it to you.

You haven't been fulfilling your role, near death is such slack arsed excuse, you should have trained someone up.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I could be upset that I just received a computer with a beat up hard drive obviously done by FedEx Home. However, the people who put it together are sending me a new drive with Win7 Pro no charge, and the tech was very kind. I get to toss the brick rather than send it back.

Well that's OK, g_d.  If you get a chance to install Win 10 before you put a lot of stuff on the drive, I'd do it.  Nothing wrong with Win 7, IMO, but I'd rather have 10.

I've been wanting Win 7 Pro. I'm on 7 Premium. I had to tweak the registry to get close to the functionality of XP. Pro comes with the options unlocked. The options are already on my drive, I just have to pay to activate them.

Once you've got Win 7 Pro set up, beware of the underhanded forced upgrades by Microsoft. See this post.

Microsoft has tried to get me to update my win 7 Premium to Win 10, but my computer won't even take Win 7 SP1. I always have my updates on manual, but I'll try blocking Win 10. The hard drive got sorted, but I haven't been online. I have to use my daughter's HD TV for a display, and her WLAN won't install. I tried a driver from the net which didn't work. Hopefully everything goes well when my 27" IPS monitor gets here.

Upgrading to 10 is only free till the end of this month, FYI

I watched two documentaries over the course of yesterday and today explaining physics from Einstein all the way up to the parallel universe theory. Gave me a deep sense of satisfaction.

Thanks! I already watched the Brian Greene one but not the Albert Einstein documentary. Looks very interesting. :smilenod:
