On the one I found the install got most of the way through before failing twice. There were lots of bits and pieces when I checked for changes.
When I accepted Avast on the third go thinking that would make the difference (as if there was something built in to make it fail without accepting the piggy backers) the install wouldn't even begin. No kind of installer appeared, but according to Revo Uninstaller Avast had installed!!
Just to be on the safe side I restored from earlier.

PS....MS Paint has been saved. A last minute pardon arrived. https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...-windows-store
After the tremendous outpouring of love across the internet for arguably the greatest Windows program ever, Microsoft has announced that it will save MS Paint by putting it on the Windows Store.

If flying from YYZ later this week, just an FYI.

Charlee the dog very noticeably likes certain meat over others, lamb she eats without issue, beef she is meh about, duck is meh as well, but she goes bonkers for venison and kangaroo.

I posted a couple of days ago about how early people go to bed here in our part of Moncton.
I'm currently wearing a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours. It's set to go every half an hour and hourly through the night, which I took to be somewhere around midnight.
It's been going 10 past and 20 to and I've just realised that 10.40 came and went and it didn't go.
So bed time officially starts at 10.10.

I wish small companies/businesses would not rely on FB as their only way to sell/advertise, they really seem to be missing out by not having a website and appearing on google.
It's also a lot harder to find things on FB.

I've never had a FB account yet in my demographic (male, WASP, white collar early 50's) it doesn't really come up in conversation and people never say 'hey I tried to find you on FB'. Really only wife and kids know of my refusal to get an account. Our 16 year old son has an account and never really uses it. He prefers Reddit for information (same with me) and Instagram. Wife and 20 year old daughter use their FB accounts.

I use Instagram to see what my children are doing, they're not young though, I suppose there's some other platform for the youth of today that's too fashionable for me to have even heard of.

It's as if they don't want your business if you're not part of the in-crowd.
