I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong.

I've known a number of people like that........ ;0

You and Barry have been doing most of the gabbing in here. <G>
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....
Well, yeah... that's Windows, and Windows is confusing by definition..
Fortunately there are other working softwares out there already... ;)
Yup... Not paranoid either... just a bit more cautious than usual...
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....
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 am extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.

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

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

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

You wax nostalgic.... but of course it is still reality for me.... ;)

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