Re: still running in Windows 10

Another thing I've found about Win 8.1 is that the sleep mode is reliable
- - this is the first time in my experience in Windows that sleep has
been reliable.


Carl - - what is radically wrong? I don't think my computer use is
that ambitious. But browser use and youtube do seem a very great
stress. Today I disabled my drivers that read Mac-formatted and
EXT-formatted discs as I need them so infrequently. In particular, the
EXT driver, from Paragon, which has never worked that well, I had
suspicons of. Where does one begin to suspect? The most-used of programs
for most of us is the browser, and these seem to create the most
problems. Indeed, that might all came down, as Steve Jobs (no fool) said,
to Adobe Flash.
