[AT] OT-Windows 10

[Mike M]

Thank you all who responded to my questions about Windows 10. I am
slowly becoming my Father and just want things to work like they used to
work, but in this case I believe technology has caught up to me, and I
have no option other than to upgrade to Windows 10. As fewer and fewer
programs are supported by Windows 7, I am forced to make this change;
heck I'd still be running XP if it were up to me, it ran just fine. I
will download Open Shell, before I upgrade. My daughter had a computer
issue the other day, and brought her laptop over, which has Windows 10
on it. Between that and having to use the touch pad, I hated it. But as
they say, "the beat goes on" my Commodore  64 isn't as as fast as it
used to be either LOL.

Regards,
Mike M
