Thank you.

It may be worth adding this one:


https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-support-windows-10-end-support

as Microsoft are dropping win-10 from their supported list. Oh, wait, 14/10/2025 ... they *have* *dropped* it. Except for those with
extended contracts.

For my part, I'm staying with Win-7 until "My Last Computer" finally
dies, or until I do, whichever comes along.

Thank you for all of your help over the years.
