I cannot hit a ball without feeling a lot of pain in my knees. Therefore, I went back to photography. -- PeterN |

He is an old P-47 & P-38 fighter pilot who survived two tours in WWII. So he is pretty smart. He's certainly is most fortunate to still be here! Are you aware of THIS place? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambri...y_and_Memorial I wasn't until now. Thanks for that bit of information. You are welcome. Following all the trauma of organizing my son's funeral, we had a 'spare' day. My wife and I went to visit Cambridge for the very first time in our lives - and took a ride on an open-top tour bus. After reviewing the various universities, the bus left the city and eventually stopped outside the American Cemetery. We were invited to leave the bus and go and explore - but we simply could not, knowing so poignantly how much sadness the parents of those young men must have felt. I am really sorry to hear that. You and your wife have gone through the worst possible experience. -- David B. -- PeterN |

I assume you remember the calories and not the bogies at the "Dessert Inn". It could have been called that too. -- PeterN |

After they told me I had to pay them to tell me how to fix the problem that *their* update caused, I was at the tipping point... And this was after I told them exactly what was wrong - a munged boot sector. "Oh, well at this level 1 customer support, no one knows anything about MBR's and those things. You have to get that info at level 2, our paid service". customer support is mostly useless, and at the larger companies, they just want to get you off the phone because they're rated on number of calls. It's almost exactly like ransomware, except that a lot of Googling came up with a fix. About 10 commands (bootrec & diskpart commands) typed into the command line - really about 60 seconds if you type fast, and it's fixed. The ridiculous part is that the Windows install/recovery files (Media creation files) come out differently depending on whether you choose to write them to a USB drive, or to a DVD. Some tools are missing in the USB version, and a couple of the commands fail, the critical one being bcdboot. welcome to windows. One of the last things I said to them was, " I guess this is why people move to Apple". It might be a couple of years, but next time I think I need something new, I will be looking at them for the first time. There's always Linux... -- Ken Hart |
