Messages #8--9. Plus €€. I'm sorry, but that case is closed. I will keep that machine until it explodes ... or implodes. And then I probably will do that myself too ... and actually, my Win7 machine is far worse, and has both had, and has, more issues than the XP ever had, and still has. I also have no smartphone, refuse to use BankID left & right, and cling to cash to the farthest extent possible. I think you get the picture.rauchhaus hat geschrieben: ↑Mi 19.

Just a side note thoughirrelevant hat geschrieben: ↑Mi 19. Jun 2024, 22:35I actually repaired my XP not long ago, and was told it's the fastest to start (with an SSD disk) and most stable out of all of the OS, by the shop repair man. They still have one of those machines themselves, for internal use ...
As I also explained earlier, for various reasons, I need to keep especially my XP machine as is. But thanks for the concern.![]()

PS. I'm stressed enough about the 3G network being shut down, and needing to find a workable replacement for my SonyEricsson C905, a model I've used extensively for 15 years and know as well as the inside of my pocket (as I do my WinXP -- and another thing with that, is that just like cars nowadays being all electronic and you having to leave it at the shop for just about anything, instead of like earlier, when a good mechanic could do miracles, the same applies to computers. And I am strongly against that. I want to be able to fiddle around with my own stuff at will.)
