Hiren's boot cd can be found easily in Google. Hiren's boot CD is an ISO file, filled with tools and programs to repair/recover and OS. Including Linux. And its free!! The older versions (which are still available and can be found in RUFUS) include a MINI-XP version which is fully operational and takes only 1 GB, disk space. It can run directly from a pen drive (= Memory Stick). This is ideal if you want to run Windows XP for whatever reason, but don't want to install it. https://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hirens.BootCD.10.4.zip

If you are a Windows XP fan, you will surely like the version from Hiren's boot cd. It's a stripped version which only occupies 1 GB.

Windows. 7 was the best OS from Micro<deleted>

Good point

In THAILAND this means who can pay the most. CORRECTED VERSION

Belgium has legalised Euthanasy. Thanksfully for her, she could legally made the choice to a life which was more as a burden as enjoyable.

Untill 5 years ago, I was using Windows 7 and Ubuntu as a Virtual Machine. On booting, Ubuntu (which was saved as an ISO file), was extracted as a live CD drive and was fully operational alongside Windows. I might go back to that setup (maybe a clean Windows 11 old version and disable updates).

I agree with you on the Linux OS, but Windows has changed a lot with their latest upgrade and why not trying to go to a Dual-Boot system where the user can decide for themselves if they want to continue to being forced to use a Micro<deleted> program or have the freedom to chose for a better program? By the way, Apple OS is based on Linux and is still considered as a lot better OS than Windows.

MS-Edge and some other MS software can not be removed since the last Windows update. You can read that in many Google questions and the MS site itself. MS-Edge and some other programs are now embedded in the OS and when removed Windows will go on error. The last Windows update has elevated most programs to WEB programs and are now part of the MS WEB. Thus paving the road for Windows 12 that will be completely WEB based OS. Agree, you can chose to run a lower version of windows and "enjoy" it. But most software packages are upgrading as well and most of them with the same behavior as Win 11. All software is evolving to web based programs which can only run ONLINE. Chrome and Google have already jump on the bandwagon.

My ex-wife was hospitalized again ar the beginning of the year and she was not able to breathe on her own (smoking abuse). She was just 65 years old. The last time she was in the hospital was barely 3 months ago and she signed a paper that she did not want to be kept alive trough machines. She passed away peacefully after 5 days.

Love that cartoon. Took the words out of my mouth.

Phil Collins is about my age and he can not perform anymore. Last time I saw him on stage, some people helped him sit on a chair and he looked awful.

Untill 1985, I was spending each day 2 hours in the gym after work. And a few times a week in the Sauna. I had also many physical activities like Yoga. I was very proud of my figure. But end 1985 I suffered a stroke which left me disabled for a half year and partly disabled afterwards. I was forbidden by the doctor to do any physical activity. In a year time, i had a belly and could not do anything anymore. NOT EVERYONE IS FAT OR HAS A BIG BELLY B3CAUSE THEY DON'T GO TO THE GYM. I really hope that you get a stroke soon and go trough the same demise as many people. Maybe you will learn to show respect for disabled people that way.

The problem with the latest windows 11 update is that every time windows detects that you have been changing applications that are not allowed to be removed, Windows puts them back.

I am also 69, 1 month away from 70. After spending almost 19 years under the ground, digging the black gold, it's not rocket science to know why most coalminers close the lights before reaching 60. I try to live these years as healthy as possible. But if I can enjoy a good cake with lot's of cream or a juicy hamburger, should I refuse that because it would upgrade my sugar levels?

Strange. I fail to understand why some people feel the urge to respond to threads with utterly crap. If you Google about Chrome you will see that A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH CHROME. Why you don't go join these people and spew your crap there?

I was planning to do the opposite. Run Linux on my hard drive and use a pen-drive version of windows for exceptional things,

Since the last upgrade of Windows 11, I gave up and look for someting else. Windows is forcing the EDGE, Photos, and other software trought my throat and the is no way to disable the them or chose for a different program. Every time I want to open a picture, a movie, or a website with a different program, Windows ask me if I am sure of my choice and rethink about using their crappy program with lots of advertissements. Not only Windows, but many big software companies are going the same road. Chrome has now occupied almost my full hard disk storing all kind of crapware to trace my habits and publish their crap. Google is going the same way and I only use their email because I have the same email address a long time. I want to opt for another operating system which is user friendly and don't force their crapware down my throat. Linux of Android? What are my choices?

A friend of mine, living a few kilometers away from my place, was diagnosed with final CANCER. He had a big open tumor on his throat, which have been removed recently. But after testing in the lab, it was detected as a final cancer and only a few months to live. He is 2 years older as me and always working in his garden. Last year, I went to the funeral of many of my friends/buddy. Some of them a lot younger as me. Most of them died of CANCER or a disease. They were good raking care of their health and doing many activities. In the days I was working, I was the head of a team of 65 people. Most of them a lot younger as me. The last one died 4 years ago because his body was rejecting the new lungs. Many of them had a healthy lifestyle and were watching their health. Yesterday, at the usual bar, there was a guy dancing and having fun. He was drinking beer and some spirits and smoking a cigar. His age? 82 years. Ever since I was diagnosed with a Cardiac anomaly and the usual old man's diseases, I try as much as possible to control my health Taking medicine, avoiding food and drinks which are unhealthy for me, trying to do some exercise, etc. I am ok for my age, although I can not do what this 82 year old man was doing. Sometimes I ask myself, is it all worth the hassle? After reaching 65 years of age living like a hermit? Only to live a few months or years more? Would I not be better off to enjoy my old age and enjoy what life is worth enjoying? I read the joke about a man going to the doctor, and the doctor asked him: - do you smoke? NO - do you drink alcohol? NO - do you go out with other woman every day? No - do you pratize dangerous sports NO Then why do you want to live a long life if you don't enjoy it? What are your thoughts about this?

I did read in Google about the side-effects of this drug and I came already to the conclusion that it was a "NO WAY" supplement for me. Thanks for the head up Sheryll.

Sorry, it was a gallstone attack.

Can I buy "Kalimate" at the pharmacy. I don't have leg cramp at night, but when I get up and I don't take care (stretching myself) I scream from the cramps in the back of my lower legs.

I do a complete blood test every 3 months and I follow strictly what my doctor advices me That's the best choice to keep healthy.
