I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.

I’m locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.

I’m an embedded systems developer and my proprietary toolchain is windows only. Additionally I use several Adobe product routinely (illustrator, photoshop, premier).

Project 1999 and Project Quarm. Emulators of EverQuest, which was released in 1999. Official EverQuest is still going strong 25 years later, but the emulator developers (the are several projects) have an agreement to run their versions of the game.

I’m playing Project Quarm version now and spend way too much time on it.

Orange and chocolate is a classic combination. I like it.

Oreo cookies with orange juice.

I don’t remember offhand. It was long ago.

I tried reading Discworld a couple of times now and just can’t get into it. So slow and uninteresting to me. I’d love to know where to start as a old school hard scifi reader.
