As one who has to use a computer a lot in my day-to-day job, I'd be having to write more. I must pay attention and try to approximate a percentage. It wouldn't be high but the repetitions that I would have to write out each time would be mind-numbing, and quite possibly career-ending if memory and accuracy of repetition needed to be relied on as much as I think it would be...

I seem to remember cheating at school by making the electric typewriter repeat lines for us.
Before puters, same principal.

I'm surprised your teacher didn't catch on to the principle used and send you to the principal! [bigwhistle]

Yes a problem with the latest MS update - copy and paste no longer works for some apps - copy to the clipboard still works but pasting to some apps like calculator no longer does.

Still happily living life to the full, chatting to my friends, keeping my mind active. Where I've always been.

Same here. All win 10 machines are working just fine on the latest update.

I don't think I have any worries, I don't use apps.

Is facebook an app?

Is Navionics an app?

I tried to download an app the other day , it was a pos so deleted it.
