You know, due to all this progress I no longer enjoy my PCs as I did before. Scanning for example is so complicated I don't use the scanner. Printing pics is touchy because one of the cartridges always seems to be low and ruins the pic. AdobePhotoDeluxe was invaluable for sizing and printing pics and warning about low ink. It was so intuitive anyone could use it. But all that old software that worked perfectly no longer works on the new PCs. I don't enjoy writing anymore because I never found anything that came close to that software I had that had an auto spellchecker and a word counter. A lot of excellent software no longer works limiting what a PC can be used for unless a replacement is found. I can't even print or save as text a directory anymore. Progress has caused the LOSS of so many good features. And MS now no longer includes an email program such as WindowsMail or OutlookExpress for those of us who don't want our mail in the clouds.
And look at W8 - it's not even for PCs yet we're stuck with it and have to install a Shell to use our PCs like before without all the mindless adds and commercial nonsense. When I turned on that new laptop all I saw was adds from one end to the other of the screen. Horrible.
Rant over.
