Working backwards,
JayBHa God Mode, how typical.
Keep that up and it will look like linux.

JayB, you might know, does the free office suite Libertywrite or
something like that, still work/available on Win10 ?

Philip said;
anything but windows 10 because you can't get drivers for hardware etc.
Are you saying Win10 comes with all drivers built in ?
Normally the equipment manufacturers are responsible for writing drivers.
Re the phone number, surely that would be an invasion of privacy ?

Individual;
Almost any PC or Laptop. As JayB said, any Intel based or AMD
processor (CPU) and it comes in 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
You can obtain discs from Linux magazines.
I use Kubuntu distribution. They have a good website from which you
can get and install new programs. Debian is one I have used for
many years and Kubuntu and others are Debian based.
The news agents normally have learner books for Linux.
You can put the CD in your CD drive and load it as a "Live" cd and
run it without installing it as it will give you a feel for Linux.
It does not change your hard drive.
Ask again if you want more info.

As I said earlier you can dual boot your computer.
When you select to install Linux it will ask if you want to dual boot
and if you answer Yes it will ask about partitioning.
That means how it leaves your windows intact with work space and
allocates space for Linux. It then goes ahead and installs Linux on
the rest of the hard drive. When you have done this every time you
switch the computer on it will ask you if you want Windows or Linux.
But buy a book and check it has info n dual boot.
Of course if have a second computer that is a better solution.

Two Scam calls to day.

First one. My computer has a virus.

Insistent caller. He tells me I have to go to something & type in something.

Why?

You have a virus.

Will it get better?

Please go to something & type in something & I will fix it for you.
Oh, I don't know how to do that, my Son does all that sort of thing. I don't know anything about Computers, you know. Do you want to speak to him?

Yes, put him on.

Ok, when he comes to visit me next week I'll get him to talk to you. It might be OK by them. Viruses usually only last a week you know.

Bazz The driver that are required for what is already on the computer.

Re the phone number, surely that would be an invasion of privacy ?

Since when do big companies care about that.

I tried to open a new hotmail address it would only let me if I gave them a phone number, guess what I did not open?

Well folks I'm still having computer problems.

I can't access the internet or my email.

The lights go red most of the time and when I try
to click onto the net - the message comes up
"no internet access."

Then it tells me to "change settings, such as making a
correction metered." Whatever that means.

The lights stay red for most of the day.

I'll be ringing Telstra today.
