WP 5.1 for DOS rules; see markup by pressing F11. Pressing F5 to save.
WP 5.1 was the same era as DBaseIV, which was my first real programming experience. Lotus 1-2-3 was the thing of the day. In those days, Windows already had a color-scheme for people who can't see as good. Windows was ahead of its time with its accessability features.
Things and times have changed. Most websites can't provide what Windows did 20 years ago. Some unnamed companies will go to court to having not provide an alt-text for images

Now you need a couple of really good headphones, with wires. You just bought the best sounding phone on the market. Don't forget to enable "Hi-Fi Quad DAC", it really makes a difference.

I've got a pair? of QCs (wired) and ready to try out when I can find enough time. I did plug it up to the Bose bookshelf system this morning after seeing this post (the Hi-Fi Quad DAC was enabled by default) and it sounded really good even at low volume but hard to tell if it was much better than what I had before...maybe the headphones will reveal the audio superiority of the new phone! Looking forward to it!

It's an ESS Sabre DAC. (You find big brother in Mark Levinson)
Personally I find the sound quality from the Bose headsets that I've tested to be a bit underwhelming. (Noise cancellation is great though)
Bowers & Wilkins P7 have really great sound, but are not very comfortable.
I bought a couple of Sennheiser Momentum Wireless instead, that I use with the wires. They're not best at anything, but they are a great compromise.
Interestingly enough, they sound better with noise cancellation than without.
And ironically they add a bit of white noise that you can hear when you are in a quiet room.

Yeah, when I finally lost my fairly new Blackberry the AT&T store talked me into having an Android instead. "What? ...and give up all those nice Blackberry features I hardly ever or never used?
Android - I never looked back, dammit!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Considering none of my Android devices ever got security updates and thus are still vulnerable to exploits that have been documented for years, I would never do any banking from an Android device.

Had to leave, too. The only thing left that would still work on the 950XL was Outlook.
So I got a Samsung A50. Good enough.

Intentionally. I realized the "programming quiz" ran a slight risk of causing offense to a coworker.

I am offended that you didn't leave it up until I'd seen it.

So, the feelings of that coworker supersede our learning-curve?
If your coworker serious about working in IT, he'll need a thick skin.

For the record, I don't know any Mike, but there are some names who'd fit the image

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

While it still worked, I decided it was time for a new one. I settled on a nice android phone (LG G7) yesterday. The pics and music were all on the microSD so no problems there, but the contacts were another story...I had to export from outlook (which was synched to the WP) and import into the gmail account and voila!
