New Computer

Dear Friends:
after 15 years I retired the old HP computer running XP for a new reconditioned Dell with windows 10 . Bear with me as I get it up and running and me used to it
Enjoy,
Miles

Hello Miles, glad to see you're still aboard the good ship PM Dot Com. Sorry you have to part company with Windows XP, but it happens to us all. XP was my all time favourite operating system. Windows from there on became more intrusive and less hands on, it takes too many tasks away from the user. Saying that, I've been using it for some time now and apart from a few bugs it's not so bad. I'm sure you will get used to it and learn how to use your favourite browser, you really don't have to settle with what they try to get you to use. There's ways of switching things off in settings. If you have problems, there's an immense amount of information you can get out there on the Web. Enjoy.

I recently had to cash in my venerable HP desktop which ran Windows Vista. Nothing wrong with it, but the operating system was no longer supported by Microsoft, or my anti-virus software. My new HP has Windows 10, and I'm still getting used to it. Unfortunately, it won't run my Photoshop 7.0, so if want to recolor model files now, I have to email them to myself, open and save the files to my old laptop which runs Windows 7, and do my Photoshop work there. Inconvenient, but it works. I just wish everybody would stop "improving" software with new versions, LOL.

Umm? I had to Google that one Miles. Google said, "Did you mean Coordinate?" ... so I'm passing on the question ...
