Congratulations! I have been hanging around, benefiting and occasionally contributing since 6 July 2000. I too log in almost every day.
I would also like to add my thanks to Chris and the team and to Bob and the hamsters.

I had to check out my profile to know that I have been here for 10 years and 9 months. Didn't even realize it has been this long.
CP is awesome! Now can we please have some hashtags and pic uploading capabilities here?

Hey, I missed my 15 year anniversary! Interesting, my member ID is 86503, given yours is 196458, I guess in those 8 months separating us CP more than doubled its membership.

I found CP while searching for a code sample (this is from memory... I have no idea what code sample I was searching for, though).
That was a little over 13 years ago. Since then, I've left.. come back.. left... come back.
I've come back for the articles and knowledge; I've left because of the attitude of some members.
Since then, I've learned to just ignore them.
Thank you, Chris et al for all you do.

Thank YOU, Mike. You're the reason we keep the hamster wheels spinning, and why others contribute, hang out, and make the community what it is.
Thanks,

Stick a reminder to your calendar for the 10 year anniversary
I made my reminder about a year ago and was totally (positive) surprised when my google calendar popped up the message this morning

Dear Microsoft - you elaphanters are done. With Windows 10 you've decided to push out sh*t bricks of updates that break installed software. What won't run? Ah yes, some exe called outlook.exe.
You are rapidly accelerating to the dust bin of please just go away.
for those of you on Windows 10, the next wonderful, we'll make your world safer by elephanting up what works update, it ain't so wonderful.
Don't ask me how I really feel.

I've been on W10 both at home and work for ages without any problems 
So tell me, how do you "really" feel today

to be honest w10 vs w7, I don't see the benefit of the 10:
- it's no longer faster,
- it's no longer safer (some would even say less so),
- there's no absolute must-haves in it,
and conversely:
- it's having a hell of a lot more problems with each and every update,
- a lot more problems with 3rd party software,
- a lot more problems defining ones own choices of certain applications
...so why?
Please provide a GOOD reason.

No weird registry view issues.
It does run faster, and has a smaller footprint.
It is decidedly safer. Properly configured Secure Boot makes a mockery of rootkits.
And yeah, the software library is a mild issue, though proper use of compatibility mode will mitigate a multitude of issues.
