Hallis Mailin is a suffering war veteran who has bad legs and needs his computer. He is having problems with Microsoft.
Dear Hallis Mailin
Firefox and flash are Microsoft competitors. Microsoft will allow them to sit on your desk-top and also in your download files but will absolutely not allow them to take over the operating system. Microsoft controls the operating system and they will make you pay to use Windows.
You are not alone in your misery. I began using computers in 1972 and at the time we used PC plus to keep our files in order. We used Borland disks and Doss and CPlus and a few more programs and we used Bell telephone lines. For a long time Bell did not know we existed and we lived in Nerd heaven with our programs until Microsoft began buying them up and incorporating them into their programs. It was then Windows came along with Win3.1 and Win3.11 and today I continue to have problems with their Windows 10. I remember Windows 95 which was a great system where everything worked fine and everybody made copies on their computer drives until Microsoft got fed up and gave us the program, free! But then they upgraded to a Windows 98 which proved to be garbage and so I bought a Windows XP computer which proved to be very good. So good that some genius, somewhere decided to change from 32 to 64 and that effectively blocked my XP. Now I use a cheap H.P. computer with a Windows 10 but Microsoft can’t find my account and so they decided to give me temporary access where nothing I write will remain on my computer…or so they think. For example, nothing is stopping me from using their executive computer to write these words. I am older than Bill Gates and Steve Jobs is dead. I have millions of contacts around the world and creating change for the better is something I like to do and so here is a tip for you. I saved an old computer which still runs Windows 98 and still reads the hundreds of CD’s filled with programs I have saved over the years. I use UBUNTU to improve its efficiency and today you can access the internet free from your local library. From there I suggest you go to Google and download Ubuntu and store it on a small flash drive key. They are expensive but flash drive keys are possible mini computers and they run on older computers and that includes library computers. Many older ‘puters’ still have USB ports. Today, the cloud dominates the internet but it is still possible to find cheap older computers or even free older computers. Some people are actually throwing then away! What a waste!
Before he died, Steve Jobs decided to miniaturize his computers and so we now all have pocket computers that connect by satellites and also work as telephones but who in hell can write on those things and they are way too expensive to operate. I miss Ma Bell and her Twenty Dollar a month basic telephone. If you want to do something besides play games, how about using your computer to understand how SARS-COv-2 works. Visit human4us2.blogspot.com and study the complicated science until you understand the jargon. Then contribute what you can. That is what I am doing today. You can write me at human4usbillions@gmail.com but identify yourself as you are not alone. Buy for now!
