Monday is a public holiday in the UK - like I have just been reminded today is in many places. I have no idea if that is general of specific to the UK.
Do we want a CCC Monday, or would you prefer a Tuesday start?
Vote Now!

I'd vote but it's already Monday, and I don't do the CCC anyway. (Partly because I don't understand the logic behind them well enough to generate one if I accidentally got it right, and partly because even if I did create a clue to post a bunch of people would be salty I didn't get up in the middle of the night to post it for them.) 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And yet people wonder why I don't like my applications to be located in the cloud and insist upon installing them?

The box I'm currently on came with Libre (installed on Win7). Works for me . . . especially the price.
Actually, I might still have access to a MSDN account and could download the "new ones" for free - but since I don't do Win10 I haven't checked for a long time.
Makes me wonder how their marketing (and for that matter, their developers) would feel if they knew I've reached the point where I wouldn't take their software even for free?

They wouldn't probably care less... there are another 2.5 billion (just a number, I don't know how many actually are) people doing it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Ahhhh - you forget !
From here, the CP Lounge, it goes to all of the internet "Influencers" and then main-stream media and beyond! Why by the time the dust settles they'll be glad if they can convince someone in China to bootleg their stuff.

The cloud: I don't trust that so-and-so!

I am one of those wondering why. This was the first time in the past 3 years that our app had any problem and for three years we have not had to hire an IT person to maintain our own server and have spent 0 seconds worry about it.

Kitty explains the cloud.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

And explains it pretty well!

They went down for a short while and were back up within an hour for us (the world?).

I guess they'll have to rename it Office 364 
You don't know how long I've wanted to write that.

Office 2003 is still working just fine.

Why does this not surprise me in the slightest (you still using software released pre 2010)?

Never change a running system?

Great. I have a W10 VM running Office 2000. Only thing that doesn't work (I think) is LookOut.

You're up on Monday.
Not my best effort when having to rush it after not rolling out of bed until 7am.

Where's the CCC?
Pkfox will be getting worried if you start to reach his record for unreliability ...
