I am in same boat De.
I also hate microsoft. I don;t care if they want to offer new operating systems but why should everyone be forced to change to them? I love windows 7 pro and even windows 10 on my laptop is okay.. I prefer 7.
MAybe I'm just getting too old..
I am going to be training my nephew to work as a consultant and Rep. He wants to start a career and work from home. I informed him the only work you'll do at home is record your expenses and a little tax paperwork. Ya don't make any money at home. You make money by having clients that can depend on you and you deliver for them.
So we shall see how this goes. I'm getting too many things going south physically to keep this up especially traveling to the clients.
Brain still works but now I have glaucoma in both eyes with fairly high pressures. Arthritis eating my spine, hips, arm sockets.
So, my eyesight is deteriorating, my heart is failing, I am old, some overweight, can't hear anything without my aids. Its great to get older.... I can only imagine what Ribs is/has gone thru so far.
