Some of these are paraphrased for brevity.

Q – You’ve recommended cheap CD keys before. Other sites warn against using them?
A – I’ve used these keys for several years. Not a single one has been deactivated. Even if it was I could buy 5 (or more) of these keys before I even approach the full price. YMMV of course but check Techbargains for such things.

Q – When is the next Win10 Tweak Guide?
A – I don’t know. It takes considerable time, focus, and effort. I’ve personal things to deal with ATM.

Q – Yada, yada backups…
A – System images, system images, system images.

Q – Do you have a favorite web site specifically about computer security?
A – I browse the internet a lot, probably too much. If I had to pin down a single site about security I would pick Krebs on Security.

Q – Why do you hate Apple so much?
A – “Hate” is rather strong but… It all started with the arrogance of Steve Jobs, never liked him. That arrogance permeated their marketing and to some extent their fan base. There is nothing about that cult I find appealing.

Q – I don’t like the Off Topic stuff.
A – Sorry, not sorry. Posting that stuff helps keep me sane. It’s easier to ignore it than bitch about it.

Q – The band Lamb of God is from your area. Are you a fan?
A – I used to play poker with a couple of those guys. Both were incredibly nice and as I recall a tad shy. Having said that, their metal is not my metal. I grew up in the “Hair Metal” era and still love that stuff.

    This VA link is buried a little beneath the main one I just sent you…but it’s the latest and most up-to-date of all the links to what the VA is in the process of trying to implement now: https://www.missionact.va.gov/

    Good luck, please hang in there and keep the faith.

    “The MISSION Act” strengthens VA’s ability to deliver trusted, easy to access, high quality care at #1) VA facilities, #2) virtually through “tele”-(online)-health conferencing, and #3) “IN YOUR COMMUNITY” (wherever you might be). I believe they really are trying to get the care and services to you (now) that you need… and, for the first time, get them to you: “wherever you are,” and “whenever you need them!”

    (You don’t always have to travel to the nearest VA Medical Center anymore.

    Wait just a cotton-pickin-minute!!!!!!! Who in their right mind said off-top is not on-topic. I like it, for whatever it’s worth. To each their own, I suppose.

    I guess we could talk about……., naw, I like it just fine. More beer and hot dogs!

    Hi Eric. I too despised Steve Jobs and the ‘cult’ of Apple. I have lightened up some over the years for a couple/few reasons even though still don’t like Apple. One, he’s been dead about 8ys. Two, I despise Google even more now. Three, would never EVER wait in long lines to pay $1100 bucks for a friggin’ iphone. Instead I buy a heavily discounted, New older model iphone for my daughter. The wife and I get the daughter’s even older model rejects which I do a total erase/recovery & configuration with the latest STABLE ios. It all works out real good. Always had/have Microsoft PC’s. Liniux 2nd choice. No Apple mac.
    Thanks for sharing your help and knowledge now and all these years!
