@Rich-Leyshon - getting pissed drunk is no excuse for lateness

I disagree and in my defence, I just got off a long call from an insurance broker.

Just found out....
Minesweeper is not installed by default! 
You get it via the store and it is... 130Mb!
|
|
|
|
|
What the hell did they code it in to get it that big? HTML???

SWMBO likes the old XP games, so I keep a copy and install them whenever I buy her a new PC.

This has been true since Windows 8. For those who are wondering, the store version of Minesweeper takes the basic game and enhances it in multiple ways. Whether or not you like the enhancements is up to the user.

Regarding old games:
Does somebody remember 'Pipemania'? What I remember, it has been delivered with Logitech Mouse Driver before decades.
I was addicted to this game so I destroyed therefore all copies 
|

|
|
never heard of it! 
|

What about the old Windows 3.11 Killer Crayon interactive screen saver!
|
|
|
|
|
You're indeed totally right! All the screensavers have been gone for a long time!
|
|
|
|
|
I'd forgotten that - great game!

I personally know two of the guys from The Assembly Line. They eventually sold up, and did well out of the sale.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I do, and..... I MIGHT still have a copy somewhere...
Yes it was addictive I agree.

130Mb?
This had better be a VR version
(Maybe I'd expect 130Kb, but even then you wonder wtf is inflating it)

it is very cool and I would like to have a try at this.

I have a Dell docking station which gives me 3 monitors in addition to the laptop screen.

Yes, in fact - I haven't confirmed - but it looks like the exact model I've been using for years.
It is, quite literally, plug and play. I never have to think about it. Which is exactly what you want for a dock like this.
Back when I was using it with Windows 7, they had driver updates on a fairly regular basis, which was starting to be slightly annoying, especially if you like to keep on top of that. Since moving to 10, I haven't had a single driver update nag, and it "just works".
I've never had other docks so can't do a comparison, but based on my own experience, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

We had someone try this - doesn't work with the Surface Pro.
