....and you'd rather Microsoft didn't push it down your throat....   http://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/17/how-to-remove-windows-10-upgrade-updates-in-windows-7-and-8/   Microsoft.... it's actually polite to ask.

98 Rotten Tomatoes is a good indicator. It's a heck of a ride from go to whoa....definitely a must-see. Max has kinda a back-seat role to Charlize Theron's but she's much prettier, anyway.  It's worth it just to see her 'robotic' arm...it'll have you wondering if she cut off one 'for the cause'... We saw it at the theatre at Highpoint....just a couple of miles from where Max's original Falcon was built at Duhig-Ford's Niddrie garage.&nbs...

I 'really' only have it on my Laptop...[the 2 installs in VMware and VirtualBox don't really count]... ....and now Internet Explorer is in a death-spiral of crashing...and telling me it has...and telling me it will restart....and do I want to restore the last session...and then it crashes...and tells me it has....and telling me it will restart.... The IT Crowd will tell me to... "turn it off and turn it on again..." ...which I'll try first....   ...but I...

Following on with ID's thread re new PC build.... and I'd only hijacked Starkers' one to describe what I'd been doing to date...so here's my own thread with the ins and outs of what's what.

It's time once again to recognize those amongst us who have been "doing good things" in the World Of Skinning.   APPRENTICE: Destrohelix :- https://forums.wincustomize.com/user/5545686 Mindy43 :- https://forums.wincustomize.com/user/182608 nairb13 :-  http://nairb13.wincustomize.com/     MASTER APPRENTICE: c31marius :- https://forums.wincustomize.com/user/4648714 Picco14 :-  https://www.wincustom...

Always seem to get sidetracked when I'm wandering around YouTube.... Kinda liked this one, though...

No matter how clever you are with doing backups...and even redundancy backups.... There comes a time when it all goes pear-shaped. Simplest error - 'CRC' Cyclic Redundancy Check - Error.   What happened.... I noticed a Syncback log showing a file-backup failure due to a CRC error. I checked and found the same file had caused the True Image backup of the drive to fail. I didn't have an even vaguely recent copy of the file....it was a still-to-be-worked-on ...

Now and then.... just sometimes....you really HAVE TO DO IT.... Dave's been here forever.....he's a good bloke [and that counts].... It's not a seasonal promotion...but a specific one...that was met with a crescendo of agreement from all....   So say cheers to our newest Journeyman....Dave ...

It's Mid-Year Promotions time again, Time to recognize Contributors to the World Of Skinning with some timely and well-deserved Promotions....

As some will know....I've been doing the hand-me-down process with computers after getting a Core 2 Duo for $6.40 that was better than several machines I already had. Now, one of them is a sad old P4 1.6 with 1gig of ram and a 20gig HD.... running Win 7 Pro 32. And there's the trouble...the little HD ....the OS was 'struggling' [to put it mildly]. A little proggy called 'scanner' a pie-chart display of disk usage [files] soon made it well and truly clear.... F...

As we get 'older' we tend to come across real cars....versus kiddies' speed racers aka cop bait/hoon cars. This is one I sat in tonight.... Again I don't 'fit' ...it's designed to suit a 6'6" type...so I couldn't reach the pedals.... The other one I couldn't fit into was a D-Type Jaguar replica ... my knees hit the dashboard. Dang it....I want one that fits! BTW the Jag owner is building a Daytona Cobra....and I might just be able to fit int...

I took a hole pile of 'junk' to a 'thrift shop' called Savers today....bit of a New Year's clean-up.....which entitled me to a 20% discount on anything I bought there.... I found a little desktop PC that said 'for parts only'...for $8 ....and looked inside [it's a pop-top] and said 'what the heck....can't lose...even if it's fried' [it wasn't]. So.....$6.40 later....got it home....plugged various junk in....and fired it up. No OS .... ...

They've been sitting there for yonks....many are copied records of very 'ex' members of Wincustomize....removed after somewhat 'extreme' anglo-saxon expletives....   But this one recalled a time 12 years ago...and it'll be here somewhere [12 years later] ....just a little tale of woes from back then.... It all started a few weeks ago. My 5 year old washing machine had an identity crisis.  It wanted hence-forth to br known as an 'inert white obje...

OK...Holidays are over...time to get 'back-to-work'..... It's also time to recognize contributors to the World of Skinning with some well-deserved promotion announcements.

Next year [it's 11 hours from now for me] Mine is to get on the Deadly Treadlie more....starting Day One. I lost count of how many times I cycled in '13 ....probably because I can't even remember the last time...it was so long ago. Ain't good enough.....not when you're pushing 60....   So....what's your resolutions? ...
