So I fired up a mothballed computer, WinXP, AMD Athlon II X3 440, 2GB RAM.
Fire up my browser, SeaMonkey 2.49.5, & it opens, 12 separate windows, untold number of tabs. From the dates of the pages that opened (from "history"), seems the computer was last used in 2018  .
Anyhow, in these tabs are my old & current haunts.
And (unlike most other pages these days) PCQ&A is plain 'ol http:, so no certificate issues on this ancient contraption, so here I am.
What a pleasure.
Now, contrast that to this Win10 PC I'd been farting around with, TRYING, to get networking working - unsuccessfully. That installs updates... who knows when. That installed updates, the other day. That installed more updates, this morning - seemingly. That when I went to turn it off, said something yet again about updates. And I'm like - what the... So I'm like... Update & turn off... Nothing. Update & restart... Nothing. Shut down... Nothing. All of the options under "Power" did... you guessed it - Nothing!
Did a hard shutdown & plugged this XP computer in in its' place.
And it boots & it runs  .
So, in that regard, I say 2026 is off to a good start, heh.
Anyhow, Happy New Year, all.
