    No.  I am but a poor player in the technological world.  

    I was born too soon. I missed all the integrated classes that incorporated smart phones, dumb phones, even flip phones and computers.  We had pens and paper and typewriters.

    So, I missed everything.  When I started in the work force out of school, I worked in offices that hand-delivered memos to different floors of the building and also snail-mailed letters.  There was no such animal as an email.

    By the time computers were being used, I was at the forefront.  IN 1979.  Not  2009.  So, by the time technology was in everyone's hands starting when they are in grade school, I had no time to catch up.  

    I had to do everything backwards and learn it second-hand from anywhere I could because there were no computer-savvy people around me half the time.  So, here I am.  Still semi-retarded compared to where a normal person is in this technological mess of a world we are living in.

    So, I am not afraid of being betrayed. I am afraid that I will wind up dying and still be a technology victim.

    Well here's your problem ... you're using Internet Explorer.

    First thing I do with a computer ... download and install Chrome and Mozilla browsers.
    Second thing I do ... uninstall Internet Explorer.

    lol

    ARE YOU NUTS????  You are practicing bad medicine.  Do not tell people like me to do that!  I cannot afford a new computer, time to set it up with a tech guy since I cannot do that right even, and then have them come back over and over while they screw around with the COX set up here.

    I cannot do this now.  NOOOOOOO


    I had my computer TOSHIBA for a long time. I think for at least 10 years.  Maybe longer.  Anyway, it always reverts back to Microsoft Edge.  No matter what I do.  And if I dare change to Chrome, it Screws up Chrome for me when it updates.

    No. I am a prisoner. Of Microsoft.  And they are the WORST.  No one to answer a THING unless you have some idiot texting you and asking if the problem has to do with a zillion categories that have nothing to do with your issue.


    NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOO  NOOOOO and the only other alternative is to not use the computer.  RIGHT.   This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at September 20, 2019 5:51 AM MDT

    No one should use any Microsoft browser ... they are unsecure.

    Mozilla's Firefox is perhaps the most secure browser - unless you want to get TOR.
    (TOR is the "dark web" version of the Firefox web browser, modified to allow users to browse the web anonymously.)

    Though it may seem counter-intuitive, "open source" browsers are more secure than "proprietary" ones.

    You know what I want?  I want a computer I can understand. And Firefox was the worst browser I EVER dealt with.

    The end.

    HA!
    Reminds me of the joke about the person who was given an Etch-A-Sketch and told it was a computer tablet.

    I've seen advertisements in AARP magazines for "senior" computers.
    Just like the "senior" phones, it comes with extremely limited capabilities.
