One of my duties is to create our installation package and to check
out new tools. If I were paid by the install/uninstall, I could
afford to retire right now. The PC runs like a champ.

You're an IT professional, most people are just users. That's a
different kettle of fish altogether.

I hear ya, Cindy. There was a poster (sadly deceased) who had to
reformat the hard drive constantly and reinstall everything. That was
only because her idiot husband kept downloading pirated software. I
sure wish she'd gotten paid to clean up that PC every month.

I guess it's a US thing. A few years ago a couple built a nice house at
the end of my street. I noticed many times the front of the house was
lit up like a Christmas tree... *and* they were at home. My next door
neighbor said, "They're from New York" as if that explained it. But
then I did talk to the new residents. Sure enough, where they lived
before if there were darkened rooms it was practically an invitation for
someone to break in. That is simply not the case here.

Some people seem to be afraid of the dark. When we moved here the
people next to us had a street light installed to illuminate their
driveway. I found it annoying because, being 300 feet down the lane,
the light came in though our bedroom window. The people that bought the
house kept it up only because the light keeps coyotes away. At least,
that was what they thought. The people that moved in two years ago had
that light removed. There are still some outdoor lights to illuminate
the area, but they are almost never on.

300' is a very long distance for even the most powerful street
lights... I have a couple of high lumen lights about 25' high
on each side of my barn but they only light a 150' diameter with the
light tapering off after 100'... my house is 300' feet away and none
of that barn light shines near my house. Even the lights used at
baseball fields for pro games won't illuminate 300', that's why they
use dozens all around the perimeter for night games. Also the high
lumen street lamps come with adjustable side and top visors to keep
the light from bothering neighbors, but my neighbors are too far away
so I didn't attach the visors.
I have two of these 7,000 Lumen street lights:
http://www.superiorlighting.com/70_W...101caal068.htm
The only way they could be shining into your windows is if they are
mounted aimed directly at your window rather than towards the
ground.... I would ask your neighbor to adjust that lamp.

>At least that was what they thought.

Bright lights do keep nocturnal critters away, including coyotes...
there are coyotes here and occasionally they will cut through my
property at night but they definitely steer clear of those well lit
areas.

I didn't say that I could read by that light. It was just a glow that
distracted from what would have been pleasant darkness.

That street light was not as bad as the lighting they installed along
the street. We had had a 10 acre apple orchard right next to us.
Someone bought it, severed it and built two houses. When they moved out
the new owners contacted the town and pressed them for street lights.
That was much more of a problem for me and room darkening for sleep.
However, there was a noticeable improvement in road speed compliance.
We had had a tar and chip road for years and a 45 mph limit, though most
people seemed to be doing 50 or more. The speed limit had been dropped
to 35, with no effect, and then to 30, still without much effect.
Meanwhile, the road was paved with asphalt, lines painted and the street
light, and all of a sudden people were driving more slowly. I guess the
glow of the light is not as disturbing as the roar of cars that you can
hear coming and going for a mile or two each way.

Curiously, raccoons and coyotes tend to cross right by the neighbours
street light, but the deer cross by the west side of our property
between the street lights.

The difference between you and me is that I live in the real world. It ain't pretty out here. You can choose to live in la-la land but I'm too practical a person to ever do that. You can have the final word.

There was a cake in the refrigerator last night. I have no idea why it's there but if I can, I'll have a slice in your honor. I'm not a fan of cake but what the heck - it's the least I can do.

My Windows 7 laptop runs fine too. Dsi1 looks forward. He will realize

Note: this old tech is fine with me (for now at least)

I bought a couple of Win 7 laptops because the proprietary software I was using won't work with Window 10. The manufacturer's IT professional said I had the correct appraisal of the situation when I called them i.e., I got a professional shrug. There was nothing that could be done.

I bought a couple of Win 7 laptops because the proprietary software I was
using won't work with Window 10. The manufacturer's IT professional said I
had the correct appraisal of the situation when I called them i.e., I got a
professional shrug. There was nothing that could be done.

Those IT guys are never much help but to be told that nothing can be done about a problem in the first few seconds must be a world record!

Wow. You actually said that. I'm surprised. I also know that sw doesn't
waste much time here with petty bickering with people. He contentrates
on cooking good food and a large variety.

He's not all that "big" either....how would that comment make the real

I doubt he was the only rfc poster who opened the link to
your archived posting history.

Btw, "show activity" gives one-click access to all your posts in that
group. And the oh-so-revealing replies to them, of course.

So you've finally joined the dark side and have started using Google
Groups. Good, good. Things are proceeding exactly as we have planned.

One day, Google will crush these "Forte Agent" rebels and bring peace and order to the Usenet universe.

It does. The only thing it doesn't do is make dsi1's long lines wrap.
They just walk off the screen. And when I quote his long lines, I have
to insert line breaks myself. Maybe it's a setting that I missed. It
could be called "Clean up after dsi1, because he's too immature to do
it himself". Or would that be too long?

You forgot to note that you were dry-washing your hands. Or were
