I am not "getting it all wrong" Warren. You are jumping to conclusions
again. The Government's gifts to the bowling club most of whose members
are seniors are close to new machines; ours are not "older machines"at
all.. I checked them out today and these have not got XP, they have Vista.
Your remarks about the motives of our Governments are a bit out of place
here too Warren. I have a very good friend with whom I talk nightly. I
know that our Governments treat us very well and it is not necessarily a
"vote catching exercise". We have all sorts of concessions which I know
for certain you have not got. However politics, as I have said on this
medium many times, is out of place in amateur radio. It only causes
offence. You don't know what the motives of our Governments are and if you
try guessing you will almost certainly get it wrong --- again.
What was that you said Warren? "Now watch Bob get it all wrong and start
another frog fest...". Ha! Ha! The allseeing eye got a scrap of sheep dung
in it?

limited, fixed incomes. That's the bright side for seniors but wait,
there's a method to their madness. They're upgrading to keep up with
their current needs so they have a lot of older ones on their hands that
would otherwise go in the trash making seniors rather unhappy they were
left out in the cold. Good PR, eh wot? Now we come around to XP, you
can't run a 64 bit OS on 32 bit hardware which is why they're getting rid
of them in the first place. Registered copies make sense, Microsoft
Secure Advantage snitches on any unregistered or bootleg ones and kills
them. FYI, SA is a forced download behind the scenes, a hidden assassin.
They're clever folk alright, killing two birds with one stone is a great
political advantage and votes count toward their future employment.
