Windows 10 update wipes out files and photos

wrote: The ONLY THING THAT MATTERS for "What You See Is What You Get" is whether one does get in print a reasonable representation of what one sees on screen. Whether one app or another provided the same level of accuracy is irrelevant, but the reality is that it was never an issue with professional-level apps. in other words, quality or accuracy doesn't matter to you. fortunately, others have much higher standards, some of whom advanced the entire industry. You idiot! ad hominem. A professional working in the field, producing large numbers and quantities of printed documents for money, will be much more concerned with quality and accuracy except that he just said quality and accuracy does not matter. No, I did not. Since your ability to read is so poor, I will clarify. What I wrote was that whether one app produced the same level of accuracy as another doesn't matter. It didn't matter *because one would choose the app that met their requirements with regard to accuracy*. I also wrote that it was never an issue with the professional-level apps. It didn't matter because *they all provided a high level of accuracy*. in other words, you did not write clearly and your choices of software were limited to only a small subset of apps. that's not a feature. the point you *still* miss is that on a mac, *all* apps provide a high level of accuracy because wysiwyg is part of the os itself. it's functionality every app gets for free. it doesn't matter if it's a 'professional level app' or a consumer app or even a weekend hack by a hobbyist programmer writing his first app. *every* app is wysiwyg, one of many reasons why the mac changed the industry. |

wrote: That's strange. I got https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG#History "Bravo, a document preparation program for the Alto produced at Xerox PARC by Butler Lampson, Charles Simonyi and colleagues in 1974, is generally considered the first program to incorporate WYSIWYG technology,[6] displaying text with formatting (e.g. with justification, fonts, and proportional spacing of characters)." which almost nobody used outside of xerox, and it was also a complete system, not a word processing app on consumer hardware. the xerox star, which came later, also had very limited use (although more than the alto) and was *very* expensive in the early 1980s. the original mac was roughly 1/10th its price making it affordable for many, it was noticeably faster and *much* easier to use than the star, later macs even more so. But it wasn't the first. nobody said it was the first. first isn't what spawns an industry, as you've been told many times. xerox had no clue what they had. if they did, then *they* would have productized their technology and changed the world. they didn't. apple did. interestingly enough, ms word 1.0 on the mac was very similar to the word processing app on the star. when microsoft wasn't copying apple, they were copying xerox, next and others, and got away with it. They both were copying Xerox. nope. apple didn't copy xerox. that's a common myth. apple built upon the ideas of xerox, adding a lot of their own ideas, including what xerox thought to be impossible as well as changing the user interface to be significantly easier to use, all with xerox's full permission and with payment. the first mac running system 1 was only casually similar to a xerox star. anyone claiming one was a copy of the other is very ignorant, both about the history of the two companies and how both products worked. meanwhile, microsoft copied numerous companies, without permission and certainly without payment, and did a ****ty job of it too. |

wrote: I have been through things again and the only conclusion I can reach is that you really were serious when you suggested I have sent 4GB of image files via email or facebook. Were you really serious? Is that what you genuinely recommend? email is an option. there were others. every situation is different. 4GB attachments by email! Haw. if you actually read what i wrote before spewing, i said that email is an *option* and every situation is different. not everyone has 4gb of photos to send. most don't. you already said the usb stick method was a failure. the remaining options are all you have left, and that does include email. once again, you're assuming things. in your particular scenario, photo sharing would likely be the best choice, or perhaps mail drop. another is upload to a photo sharing site and send links. however, you refuse to use compliant urls so that option might not work correctly, and not because of anything she did. Idiot that would describe you. stubborn too. |

wrote: sending someone a usb stick full of photos has nothing to do with backups. Of course it has. You are very thick headed! So tell me what has it got to do with backups ? Where will they do backups? Why do you think sending a USB stick of photos is a backup ? Do you really need explaining, or lessons on reading skills? do explain why a copy of a few photos that eric sent to someone is actually a backup of his computer. In this case 'few' = 4GB the number does not matter. it's not a backup. Its the volume of data I wish to send. that may be, but it doesn't turn it into a backup. |

wrote: note this part: The DTP market exploded in 1985 with the introduction in January of the Apple LaserWriter printer, and later in July with the introduction of PageMaker software from Aldus, which rapidly became the DTP industry standard software. guess what that means. Later on, PageMaker overtook Microsoft Word in professional DTP in 1985. The term "desktop publishing" is attributed to Aldus founder Paul Brainerd,[5] who sought a marketing also guess what that means. It means that desktop publishing was already in existence when the laserwriter arrived. i.e. the Mac cannot have spawned that which was already in existence. no, it doesn't mean that. go learn what spawned means. |
