Hi OUC,
How bout a weather report from the bomb cyclone.
Some of our Minnesota cold is on the way I have heard.

It will be -14 over night again it has been below zero since Xmas eve . That is in the neighborhood of twenty five degrees colder than average for two weeks following the down right cold month of August where we didn't exceed 80.

The way I understand over 100,000,000 affected, it is the fix of the bug will reduce the "speed" 5% to 30 % of the computer. The bug includes a security issue. Losing 5 % not so bad but...... Nickursis would be a good source on this issue.

Laughing...I have thought that I'd get one laptop for writing and another for internet and never the twain shale meet...

Just don't use the internet and it's no problem;^)

Thanks Freedom...I think, I am soooo confused.
Don't think it effects my laptop, I might have an older intel 64 bit Core i3

Besides, I determined every MS update ruined my last laptop so this one has NEVER been updated by MS and I managed to keep it from being updated to 10...sicking my tong out flapping with my thumbs in my ears and wagging my fingers at them.
I won't let them get their paws on this one...it ain't broke, so don't even try to fix it!
