    I thought I would mention a nightmare I had a couple of nights ago, long
    term Windows users like me will relate to it.

    I was trying to adjust something in Windows but every time I clicked a
    button another window appeared and I had to find the relevant blue link to click whereupon another window appeared....

    It would be interesting to compare how many time you had to click in XP to change thing compared to now. Presumably a consequence of bored
    programmers who can't think of anything useful to do.

    Thanks for the memory of an XP system. Mine is on a tower in the garage. Even today I rarely want to change anything in windows. Windows still has that problem today.
