5 days to go for VVindovvs X
We need, they need, you need it. Don't be shy, just go and download the new
Operative System. I'm glad we survived to testify the big happening. We need larger screens, more memory and good precessors to play with System X. We want to speak Cortana. I'm sure you want it too. I want to say Cortana What Time is it? Cortana How's the weather? Cortana pay the bill and turn on TV. Yes, 5 days to go for superfast browsing. We want Edge for sure. No more waiting for updates, no more bugs, no more waiting to know where is diskcleanup. We want it shining. They know we know what's happening out there. System X has no secrets to hide. System X is the truth about everything. And that's what we want. I know you know. |

Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those newspapers delivered to your door every morning. |

Just in case. |

Satire by impersonation. Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal is the best ever. very very good. but we might want to put the Colbert Report into this category. a good forerunner was Night Stand with Dick Dietrick. German satirists: German satire has tended to be tough and nasty, because the targets had hides like rhinos. hey, Ionesco? anyway, maybe you're right though I surmise cabaret humor can be subtle if the political regime is repressive.

And that's what we want. I know you know. I use my tablet as a briefcase and turn it on when I an adding things to my "briefcase" and using the items in it. In the mean time it is off. Since it is not on all of the time, with Windows 10, every time I turn on my tablet it will double the time I use it as there will be mega bytes of upgrade to download. Which means that my tablet will be useless if it connected to the LAN. Yes I am waiting for the "pleasure" of using Windows 10, which will be updating every time I turn the computer on and it connects to a LAN. While I use my laptop more, the same thing will happen. If I am in the middle of doing something important, I will have to stop while Windows 10 updates my computer, and takes several minutes to shut down install the new updates and restart. Yes I am "looking of forward" to Windows 10. |
