In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

The way GRIFF wrote it is the way we Dutch write it. So I thought it was done....
Tomorrow 'kun je de borst nat maken' (Dutch saying: You have to make your chest wet -> hard times ahead) you have to find out artist and songtitle!

Too much excitement... it's on its way...

First time I've used it "in anger".
I got an email with an attached PDF about an Amazon order and no detail of what I ordered.
I'm a suspicious chap, so save the attachment, open the Sandbox, copy'n'paste the file, open it - and it's about an order I made alright. But from FleaBay ... Hmmm.
Could be a mistake, I guess ... but it's going to Quarantine anyway.
Sandbox works. Much smaller footprint than a full VM, and doesn't require an extra OS licence. Nice.

Would you really worry about that, in this sort of context?

Yes. I'm of that mind set: if you use something, you give recompense. Beer, food, chocolate, ... for friends who help; money for software writers. I even buy shareware I use once I've decided it's worth while using.
If nothing else, it encourages those who produce good stuff to produce more!
And a VM needs an OS - in this case a OS compatible with the Nasty Stuff - if any - to identify it's actual nastiness.

But this is Windows we're talking about - which gives us all so much grief, surely it balances out? (and then some...)

Windows has been good to me, over the years.
I remember the fun of getting a network (co-ax, in those days, none of yer fancy RJ45 stuff) up and running; keeping it that way before Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. Suddenly, you could just plug it in, install Windows and share files, and printers. And it's got better - with a number of retrograde steps - over the years. Even Win 10 isn't bad - ugly, schizophrenic, greedy as hell, clumsy at times, yes: but not actually bad - it's solid, competent, and has a huge supply of damn good software.
Paying for it used to be the price for that, and it was worth paying (with a few exceptions I managed to avoid). A VM? I'd need another license, and I only have Win7 ones to spare.

I take it you're not talking about the Microsoft store.
(if you are, you might want to let them know, I'm sure they'll be as surprised as anyone else)

It's cold.
It's dark.
It's raining.
But ... it's polling day today in the UK, and we vote on a new government. Which means that by law they aren't allowed to campaign any more. Herself has had the TV news on for over ten minutes and not once have they mentioned the "B" word! Or slagged off the "opposition". Ahhhhh ...
To be honest the presenters are looking somewhat lost without the only thing they have covered for three and a half years.
Only problem is ... this ends at 22:00, and then they will be back to "normal".
If only this day could last forever ...

Yes, it is strangely quiet here - no school run of course.

I bet you can make that run in less than 12 parsecs.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Not on a normal schoolday he can't!
You just try enabling warp drive during the school run, and you'll be ejecting the warp core before you get 100m.
