    Nancy,

    Exactly... Another good reason as far I am concerned to stay with the known and not be quick to upgrade or change.... in Dos, the most I need
    do (and that isn't even critical) is to logoff before I turn off the switch... nothing that the computer needs do to shut down cleanly....

    Ah, the days of DOS and Windows 3.x -- when the computer didn't have a
    cow when you turned it off too quick.

    Well, yeah... that's Windows, and Windows is confusing by definition..

    Failure is not an option...it comes shipped with Windows. <G>

    Fortunately there are other working softwares out there already... ;)

    At least I got MultiMail to work, and upgraded to the latest version.

    Yup... Not paranoid either... just a bit more cautious than usual...

    They are out to get me!! <G>

    Oh, reminds me: half-heard on the news New York, New Jersey and
    California were considering a quarantine period for visitors to the states?

    I think the third state was Connecticut, actually....

    I think Arkansas is doing it again now, as well.

    Yeah... I'm not sure how it's supposed to be enforced, either... Maybe just the threat of needing to be quarantined for 2 weeks is meant to
    deter thoughts of coming yet... Or it's expected to be voluntarily followed.... I know a friend of mine from the Pond was saying that
    she'd not be able to come to the annual meeting since her daughter was flying in from San Diego the day before and needed to quarantine for
    two weeks... and maybe the officials at the airports can enforce it...?

    I don't want to fly on COVID-19 airlines, or ride COVID-19 bus lines. At least with Amtrak, I could get my own private roomette, and feel sort of
    safe. But, with Amtrak cutting all long distance trains to 3 days a week
    as of October 1, if I can't make connections in Chicago on the same day,
    it's not worth it.

    ... I am extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.

    See the tagline below. <G>

    I think the third state was Connecticut, actually....

    I think Arkansas is doing it again now, as well.

    I suspect that any state that has things somewhat under control will be
    or is quarantining anyone coming into the state from a state where
    things are rising again, whether visitors or those returning from visits
    to those states.... I still don't really know, other than voluntary
    compliance, how that is being enforced, though...

    I don't want to fly on COVID-19 airlines, or ride COVID-19 bus
    lines.

    Dunno about the buslines, but from what I hear the airlines have a
    pretty good record of not spreading the virus... and have been so
    sparcely used that there's plenty of social distancing occuring
    naturally... :)

    At least with Amtrak, I could get my own private roomette, and
    feel sort of safe. But, with Amtrak cutting all long distance trains to
    3 days a week as of October 1, if I can't make connections in Chicago
    on the same day, it's not worth it.

    I guess you'll have to wait and see how the schedules work out as the
    time comes... :)

    I can't help but think when the flu was "so bad" years ago, that they
    didn't throw as much of a conniption fit, as they are now.

    Dunno about the buslines, but from what I hear the airlines have a
    pretty good record of not spreading the virus... and have been so
    sparcely used that there's plenty of social distancing occuring naturally... :)

    Amtrak has apparently had plenty of space on board...especially
    considering they're only booking to 50% of capacity.

    I guess you'll have to wait and see how the schedules work out as the
    time comes... :)

    Well, I have other expenses to worry about first.
