OOC and MIA

Her laugh would more aptly be called a “saucy titter” I think.

Jess is more on the Sid James end of the spectrum.

Lady Ruff-Diamond? Really? What unit is this? 3rd Foot and Mouth?
Or Maybe Princess Jheli?

Perhaps just "Sid" for Sid James, star of "Carry On Up The Spire" and "Carry On Grav-Cabbie"

Carry on Sergeant!

[shaidar]

I'd forgotten that one!

[The Bindoner]

First one, wasn’t it?

[shaidar]

Yeah, 1958, black and white, no Sid James (I think)

Prerna grabs hold of the handles on the rear of the robot and it speeds from the balcony and through the waterfall depositing her in the "cave" at the back in an explosive spray of water.

She steers herself directly boots-first into the person who is holding the Baron, using the robot's mass to help knock them down.

If that isn't the finest example of "in like Flynn" so far I don't know what is. Bravo

Excellent news

It's a new thing to learn. Everything has moved. Looks odd too. Can't find the control panel to uninstall the useless apps clogging the system yet either.

Plus reinstalling all the AV, Open Office, GIMP, password manager, etc.

"Why must we have progress, aren't things bad enough already?"

[shaidar]

Yeah, control panel is the cog icon when you hit the windows key, look for the Apps icon in the resulting page.

When they move things around it annoys me too, MS do the same in their office suite

Is Open Office still being updated? I moved to Libra Office because I thought Open Office had finished.

Removing useless Windows bits is easy; boot from a Linux thumb drive and start fresh.

I don't have any idea why computer software manufacturers feel that all their customers have to be experts in computer maintenance in order to have a good driving experience.

Best of luck with the upgrade!

As a "Luddite's Guide" to which version you need I believe that the number after "Windows" must correspond to the font size you can no longer read unaided...

[shaidar]

I've certainly switched my text size to 125%

Oi! I still recall windows 95!
