I was the same with XP. didn't like the GUI on 8. but if you install 'Classic Start Menu' you hardly notice the difference.

I still have one of those. ;)

Several of my business clients are also running XP machines as they have legacy software that cannot be upgraded for newer OS or re-investing is just too expensive. Only seen one using W8. Most are on W7.

Had to re-install my electronics / PCB CAD suite (P-CAD 2004) due to broken links. Unfortunately my install CD is faulty and won't :(

Happily:

Managed to find a torrent file on a russian site to get a RAR of the CD. I do have the serial number and key for this product but the mfr doesn't offer a download of it so I think using a torrent to get a good copy is legit. :)

A newer version is several £1000s that I can't justify at the moment.

So Apple are going to copy Google and make a driverless car.


So that means it will be the first Apple product to have windows installed :D

Will MS be happy?

If it's an Apple car they won't be able to insist on Apple only servicing to maintain the warranty. :)

Osem Jnr # 2 is off to his new club tonight for a party. He loves all the noise and excitement of such events, not to mention the Jaffa cakes, crisps... Even though he can't say much, it's great to see him with a smile on his face and having some fun with his new friends.

The smile on a child's face is one of the most special memories a parent can have. I hope his party gives Osem jnr a smile that lasts for a week.

That is sooooo true. :) It's really hard when we know he's not happy and often it's something we have little or no control over and we can't even explain that to him. :(

That must be really frustrating, not only for Osem Jnr # 2 but also for you and Mrs Osem. I think you are brilliant parents going by your posts.

I'm thinking of creating a "Vote for Australia to win Eurovision" page, the event is now a joke so lets have some fun.
