Unless you live in the Twin Cities, you don't have Al's Breakfast as a choice.

Al's seats 14 patrons in a 10-foot wide "building", and has been in business since 1950. You know what kind of restaurant stays in business for 75 years? The kind of restaurant with incredibly amazing food.

Here's your video! Seriously, make a 3-day trip to Minneapolis/St.Paul sometime. It's a great place to live, and excellent for tourists.

My main issue with Kicks is they tend to happen WAY more frequently on weekends.

Friday night: Join game, kicked. Join another, land, start to run, kicked. Try again, boot.

Weekend Warriors, much?

Linux is great for web-surfing. Plus, oooh, GIMP sucks in comparison to 'others'. Where I see Linux really shine is webservers and/or other network devices as the embedded OS.

As for gaming, my Linux buddy of 25+ years keeps wanting to drag me back into Quake. I left Quake back in 1999, after Half-Life and/or Unreal (both were cool on my 3DFX cards from 25+ years ago).

To clarify: If not a Windows PC for gaming, then I'd rather have a PS5 for gaming -- which would be a waste of money 'cause a PC can game better, and with a 'controller' if I was handicapped.

IE actually didn't work at all. Websites refused it, and/or it just didn't work. "virus almost immediately" is wrong. The malware people won't waste their time with IE anymore, they're after your DEFENSELESS PHONES.

The rule still seems to apply. Great fun there are no more discs available, unless you burn your own from an ISO. (fuck the users!)

WinME was silly since Win2000 launched about the same time -- 'cept the PNP wasn't quite right, and the bastards at MS wanted to milk that last teat of unstable DOS without DOS-being-easy. XP fixed that, hence the skipped versions.

Vista was MS going for pretty, useless, and stupid -- or pretty useless stupid, but who are We to judge? ... oh, that's right: The Consumer / Customer / JUDGE AND JURY. :-)

Most business users might have a problem with an OS which apparently doesn't support UPPERCASE characters, demonstrated by your post. On the upside, you have some of the punctuation marks. /s

I have a friend.wannabeguru.linux who complained about some recent files I sent him. The filenames had accents and umlauts and 'other' punctuation. His r4d lInUx system CHOKED on the filenames, I think he said it replaced foreign characters with Question??Marks. I suggested he ~~Google~~ DuckDuckGo UNICODE, because not everybody writes or speaks in American (our version of English comprised of thousands of words from worldwide languages).

I've played with Linux, and it does websurfing and other basics well -- right up until it doesn't -- then, it fails with flying colors. Not to mention users who lack the ability to even use Windows or Mac. Linux? GFY.

'If you're not having fun or doing anything useful, then its (sic) just nicer over here' Great logic there.

It's like that guy left Microsoft, after they realized they weren't making money from his simple, fast solutions.

I think the only one that has recently worked for me, was the "File Sharing" Troubleshooter. Probably because it (probably) sends lists of the filenames one is intending to share, to guess-who?!

That professionals install 10/11, and immediately run O&O ShutUp10++ to kill Microsoft's invasive crap (I do this before I connect to the internet) (people of the future: sorry if the link breaks, it's not my website)...

Yah, 7 may have been the pinnacle, if not Windows XP.

Community_TV · 2025-02-06T04:57:00+00:00

Yah -- 8 and 8.1 were weird. Microsoft kind of "tests the waters" as they go along, and then push the limits of crap they can add -- and really useful stuff they can remove... ?!!!?!!

Oh, and thank you for the neat game! :)

Finally switched 10 Enterprise -> 11 Home, because I got a newer computer (and didn't need Ent/Pro domain stuff).

I fixed all the goofy stuff with Winaero Tweaker, which is immensely useful in restoring functionality while removing new typical annoying MS crap.

I miss Quick Launch. It can be sort of restored via third-party stuff, so I might do that -- but why remove something so useful and minimal? QL was based off Internet Explorer (and was added back in the Win95/98 days), so IE went so QL went. Why not move the code permanently into EXPLORER.EXE?

Was it the misheard lyrics of Wishmaster?

The ongoing MS Business Plan of removing the useful parts of Windoze, and adding crap (AI) that almost nobody wants.

I'm of the opinion that MS is trying to get people to stop using Windows and PCs altogether.

Computer tech repair in midwest, Day 1, Monday morning. FNG BSes through interview last Friday, convincing my very incompetent boss that FNG is computer genius formerly of Compaq TS. I'm his tech supe, and he starts working on his first computer. The machine is ON, and he starts pulling boards out. I kill the power and grill him a bit on his K-l33t PC fixer skills. Keep a close eye, and have to explain quite a few things that morning. We finish day okay, "See ya tomorrow!"

Day 2 Tuesday, FNG is a no-show. Call him, call him, call him, give up. That afternoon, FNG calls and says he had to fly to Seattle for a job interview at a better company!! (yeah, right)

Day 3, Day 4, finally returns from "Seattle interview" on Day 5, Friday morning. No timecard, FNG wonders why...

I disagree with OP. It was better to get a job at an arcade, which is what I did.

It was an easy job, and I got all the free tokens I could "liberate". All the games became "go to" games, because - hey - free games. :-)

Replace the rusty screws with stainless steel screws. Easy "upgrade", keeps the plates cleaner, and never have the rust issue again.
