My XP laptop is my "garage radio" now, and is perfectly comfy with that, although I have to massage it frequently if it's on for more than 12 hours or so.
My primary desktop, my backup desktop (which will be my TWS_API test rig, when I get the boiler changed out...
)
are each W7, and my primary laptop (a flimsy-as-a-noodle Toshiba ["Bah!"]: great specs,
horrible build quality = lesson learned) is also W7.
I was and am a proponent of all things Linux, and really need to put that into action again.
I would start with a major rejuvenation of the back-up laptop. (A quality little Dell unit that would SO enjoy a little Linux action worked on it...). And then maybe the desktop test rig. Yeah. Yeah. [head nodding emogi goes here...]
Windy10 is a fascist enterprise, and needs to be overthrown.
Oh, and, no machine carries Intel CPU -- all are AMD.
(Boy, though, this changed my mind on Intel.....
http://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/index.ssf/2017/01/intel_ceo_promises_full_suppor.html this, and all that followed.
I am a ferocious fan of history, and history shows rather plainly that all the cool shit about the U-S-of-A, is
foreign. And
how many of the current S&P500 show foreign/first-generation CEOs??? Want a cool Fun Fact? Look at the pattern of US Patents' growth in the past 50-60 years, and then look at the proportion going to foreign-born.
And we want to cut off the New Blood???
So: W7 is okay. MS sucks. Linux rocks; but I'm a hypocrite. AMD for the righteous, but Intel for the righteous-and-smart.
(That's five possible thread forks right there.....)
GOOD MORNING, ALL.
Hope our little squeeze on top (SPX up 6+ to 2607 record) does not have your purse in a vice.
