No, I was using a paid for version. I just noticed you can buy a brand-new copy of Paintshop Pro for $48 (cheap!) at https://www.paintshoppro.com/en/products/paintshop-pro/stand... I'm thinking about it

I stopped upgrading at version 4.14, in 1997. I think version 5 added layers and some other complexities that I just didn't care to deal with. Eventually, I added Gimp to my "arsenal" for occasional complex work, but that 20

Thanks, I'll look into that. I would like to have a longer snapshot of what the Sony TV is doing. Something I forgot to mention in my original comment -- that darn TV is accessing the Internet even when it is (supposedly) turned off.

My WAN router only offers a short snapshot logging capability. I suppose I could look at using Wireshark or something, but I'm not too experienced in this area. If I decide to go "deep techie" on this, I'd probably purs

We are recent "cord-cutters" with a brand new Sony 4K, Android-enabled TV. On our other TVs, we have a Roku and an Amazon Firestick. We use the builtin Sony apps because they were (essentially) free and are the only way we curre

I had never heard of SharkBite fittings. As a minimally-competent home handyman, I thank you for putting me on to them. Here's a link to an informative and sensible video on SharkBite... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

I'm a frequent sleeper and I depend on the feature. Next time your machine wakes up by itself, go to a DOS prompt and type "powercfg -lastwake" That will tell you how it happened. For me, part of the solution was to go into

I think Access was the start of it. But Microsoft's purchase of FoxPro is what really put the nails in the coffin. FoxPro had some shortcomings (e.g. Foundation Read) but it was incredibly productive and fast. And there was a Mac ver

I agree with both posts above me. While I normally prefer a GUI configuration facility, I wouldn't make the argument that IIS is particularly simpler than Apache. Getting back to Caddy, configuration is so simple, a GUI would be overk

Nice to see you on here, Mr Holt. Thank-you for the great work you've done with Caddy. Like the rest of Caddy, I find the plug-in system to be simple and solid. Some people just seem to like complexity. (smile) Is there any way to q

Shortcomings of the article aside, I'd like to say that I use Caddy for a set of small websites and I couldn't really be happier with it. I'm a longtime Windows developer who doesn't have much patience with nerdy complex

I don't get comments like this. You honestly think I didn't read the article? You are referring to Executive Order 9066 which, incidentally, could not be enforced without subsequent passage of Public Law 503 by Congress. (note: Th

Thank-you for your replies and patience with me. (really) "we learn to associate..." is a bit of a sad phrase. What we have done is experience a great deal of sloppy or propagandized reporting. FDR's New Deal is a bit of an e

Saying "FDR's ... Camps" is like saying "Harry Truman's Victory over Hitler" or "Ronald Reagan's Space Shuttle." Again, it is an extreme simplification and an attempt to manipulate the reader in

Reply to myself... In spite of the downvotes, I'll plow ahead with this. I see now that you're supposed to "play" with the website and put it into some sort of personally pleasing configuration and download the result.

Sorry to be negative, but I'm honestly mystified by the complimentary comments. First, attempting to set up a domain name sends me to some site named shareasale.com. The site is blocked on my system because I'm using the winhelp20

I remember buying Norton Utilities on a 5" "flippy" disk. It was like a vinyl record in that you flipped it over to access side 2. And Norton Editor was a godsend in the days of Edlin and Wordstar.
