You may smile, but given the results of the recent elections in Sachsen and Thüringen I'm really worried.

Great news About that Dollar Cat !!!!
Gypsy is sleeping..
Seems she has been experiencing a lot of asthma stuff lately, more prednisolone than I like to give her.. but it beats the symptoms at this point.
Best to All Cats…. New Device so, pics when I learn this Apple stuff ….

Linux is the only way to fly. Does what Apple thinks it can only better without all the baggage. I'm running Ubuntu at the moment and have several other machines running various flavors be it Kubuntu or Debian. All are super stable and none are tied to the Microsoft mothership.
Buddy Cat chilling to the garage band sounds of the Charlatans... a group that has yet to make a bad album. They about blew the roof off 1st Avenue last February

I gave up on the MS update games and all the Win-10 screwin' around. It's nothing more than a cat & mouse game of hacks & security patches between the juvenile delinquents writing all the half-ass code trying to one-up each other. With all the time it takes to play the update games I can have ubuntu loaded & installed BEFORE the Windows updater finishes screwing around with the second restart. That being said the Libre Office suite in Ubuntu will work with ALL the MS Office extensions and it doesn't require any subscriptions. You want Photochop? No problem... sudo apt install gimp or you can play around with the SNAP store and go from there. The things Windows-11 can do Linux can and will do better. Thing I like about Linux is the fact it's all written and put together by those who want things to work right the first time, they're not into screwing around with a bunch of games or trying to patch some half-ass code together. Being the old nerd that I am I've been doing various flavors of UNIX since the early 90's be it SunOS, Solaris, IRIX 6.5.x for SGI or HP-UX VUE for the Apollo. I tolerate DOS and will work with the older builds of the NT kernal be it NT4 or XP as I still need to support the older Motorola products that were programmed under the professional CPS.
Now I will go boot up my C64 and play a wargame.

Cats are so graceful when they sleep... wish I could sleep that well.
Well, they do get a lot of practice at sleeping. I figure if you do something 20+ hours every day, eventually you'll get pretty good at it...

I should still have their "Some Friendly" album somewhere. Seemed pretty good to me back then...

First album, they did that one for fun... because they could. The second album Between 10th & 11th was a more mature effort but still had that youthful cohesiveness and drive. Rob Collins was a master of that Hammond B-3 and really made it jam and Brookes had some tight timing. When the single Only One I Know dropped in May of 1990 I was the first to spin that 45 on the air as a rookie (KXLV-FM) and set the airwaves (and phone) on fire. Not everyone was done with the 80's yet and they had a sound that really fit the moment. I long since left the airwaves but still have the albums, I was only one of a few left willing to spin the vinyl.
