Drat, there is something wrong with 'steam' and I cannot connect to it to play my game. I never liked steam and preferred the days when games were just on your computer, not registered over the internet.

Every once in a while steam goes down for maintenance. I fought using Steam for years but with almost all new games it's the way things are going. If you want to buy any newer EA games you'll have to use their online site call Origin, don't even think about it unless you have DDR3 technology, a quad core CPU, a 1GB graphics card (minimum) and at least 8GBs of RAM or the games will be "choppy" at best.

I am not sure what processor I have, but I do have 8gigs of ram and a 1 gig video card. I played 'wolfenstein the new order' with no problems.

Go to 'Start', click on 'My Computer', right click in the C: drive and select 'Properties' from the drop down list, that should tell you what processor you're using (I think).

Sitting here in the Toyota service waiting room, the Prius showed an engine trouble light last week that went off after a couple of days. Want more coffee.

I can count on my fingers the times I've used 8 and 10, so I'll remain silent about how to do things on those OS's.

Win 8.1 is a great tablet/phone OS, Win 10 is also but also is the fix that makes it work well on desktops and laptops. Yeah it has a lot of work left to fix all the bugs but this direction is the wave of the future with portable devices quickly taking over the market.

Actually, the last time I read anything about it, the PC market was still doing fine. Maybe a small decrease in sales, but not too bad. I think it's not that mobile devices are taking over the PC market; they are an entirely new market in large part. The problem is that they are such a big market, companies like Microsoft are becoming less concerned with their PC stuff.

A lot of companies are less concerned with the PC market, some have or are doing away with certain laptops and desktop models, Apple doesn't even make a 17" laptop anymore.

I don't understand why people are satisfied with little mobile crap. Don't they at least want a big screen to look at?

When I was at the dealership today almost everyone was on their smartphones, I had my Lenovo 3 in 1.
Speaking of being at the dealership the engine trouble light turned out to be "normal". Prius's have a heated anti-freeze reservoir tank that keeps the fluid at a specific temperature, we let the car sit idle for about a week, the heating element turned itself off so when I started it up the sensor read the fluid as being cold indicating a potential problem with the system. The light went away when it was heated back up to normal. I did get the rear wiper replaced for $10.45, the back wipers are only available through Toyota.

I am very happy to report that I got a call this morning from Campbell's Hardware in Robertsdale, AL and promptly drove 12 miles NW of here and picked up 2 shiny new Uberti Cattleman model 344500 with 4 3/4" barrels.
I apologized to everyone I saw for my frustration at the delay and I am back to being a favored customer.
I loaded up one of them and it shoots right where I ask it to. First round hit the center of a 4" long piece of 2x4 at 15 yards. 4 of the other 5 hit a gallon milk jug at 30 yards. Recoil is similar to a .357 magnum. Not so bad that it will cause my right arm with the 10" long steel plate, any problems.
