The PC is loaded with a fresh Win 10 from ISO, Most of my software is re-installed and it seems to work fine, except my Wacom tablet which won't run the full width of one monitor at the moment, much less two, and I just remembered I need a printer, damn it!
It looks like the problem was a combination error with the upgrade: an Upgraded system (from 7 to 10) that includes a VM (VM Ware) deletes the entire network stack and refuses point blank to reload it. And the stability was badly affected by all this with the "usable life" of the system shortiening each time it booted. After a few hours it was obvious that it would be quicker to reload from scratch. I couldn't even restore from backup, because this would almost certainly have happened again in a weeks time if I had. I could thankfully restore all my apps, code, etc., so that wasn't a problem.
Next (after the printer - oh and a text editor, forgot PsPad) will be a full disk image overnight and I should be sorted.

I don't hate computers, but sometimes I loathe the programmer who wrote the code that the computer runs. I have come to believe that if everyone would code like I do then the world would be a better place.

And if everyone programmed like me, Moores law would be every five years.

Thats better than Murphy's law which seems to be every few minutes.

Don't worry, they're about to learn how to program themselves[^] and sort everything out.

I used to hate maths, then I realised that decimals have a point.

Yeah, a product of that unforgiving math environment.

Keeping this thread alive would pay any dividends, it has to minuend at some point.

So have we reached the median yet?

Reached it? I think we ran it over, which is just mean.

Sorry but that just doesn't add up. Pointlessness is not integral to hatred. Purpose and value does not make anything less divisive in the arena of affection. Maths will always be anathema to many in all times!

True, but what's going on with circles? They're pointless.
