I remember having only a.m. radio and one tv station. That's about all that was available as far as I know.
Now, I've got a remote controlled tv that plays dvd's and will accept a signal from my computer and allow me to watch all sorts of stuff on the 'big screen'.
That is, if I knew how to program the new controller I got today to replace the one that had finally stopped allowing me to access the mute function. I guess I wore it out. I took that sucker apart many times and swabbed it all down with 91% and cotton tips...it would work a few times and quit again.
I messed with it awhile, but, I find I have very low tolerance for this sort of experimentation.
I still can barely use my new android phone and don't know how the heck it uses all that battery when I'm just letting it sit on the shelf.
I had been getting all sorts of notices that my operating system was out of date and everytime I downloaded the upgrade it wouldn't run. I would just keep clicking on permissions to use the outdated version, thus, I guess, exposing myself to attack.
I'd discovered that something had been using up resources in the background, a couple months back, opened up the task master and scrutinized the list of processes till I found a likely culprit. Everytime since then that I boot up...I let er warm up, open taskmaster and look for that synchost.exe that explodes and stop the process.
Today, I booted up again after another failed attempt to upgrade Firefox and left that synchost alone until I'd accessed the download and got it to run, this time!.....
So, I have an aversion to these things, but I do eventually sorta figure out a work around at least.
It's good to have a pipe to turn to in times of trouble and stress. ::
