When in remote desktop I believe Ctrl-Alt-End substitues for a local Ctrl-Alt-Del
Edit: beaten to it, couldn't be bothered to read past the end of the page

Classic solution is press ctr+alt on the keyboard, then del on the on-screen keyboard on the remote machine.
But at the rate they break things in W10 ...

How do you keep track on those ? You seem to know everybody's birthday...

Old habits die hard!
When I know I'm bad at something, I take steps to improve, or mitigate the problem so it doesn't occur again. I don't like making the same mistake twice! 
In this case, I know I am bad at remembering special dates - mostly because I rarely have a clue what the date is today so I have little chance of realizing it's also a birthday (with the exception of Herself: Jan 1st is really quite noticeable) - so I take precautions: I meet a birthday, I stuff it in the calendar with a "week before" email, a "day before" email, and "on the day" email & notification. Gives me enough time to get a card / present, and look efficient on the actual day.
Used to be Outlook Express I used, but I migrated all this to Google where it is just so easy and efficient: every device I own goes "bing!" so I don't stand much chance of missing it!

And it's so close to Christmas that you have to be inventive twice in close proximity or risk a disappointing present ...
I ordered Herself's birthday present yesterday, it'll be here tomorrow! She's currently wearing her Christmas present (her idea, not mine - I was trying to be sneaky and replace the diamond she lost from her engagement ring without her noticing but it had to be resized as well ... and you probably know how that goes!)

My birthday is December 30th, so we settled an agreement long time ago that one present for both Christmas and birthday was OK for both of us. And since we are both not really in the mindset of having-to-buy-a-present-because-it-is-Christmas-or-Birthday, we actually buy ourselves things whenever we need them or want them, even if is in June.

Would seeing a crime unfold at an Apple store make you an iWitness?

The crime being the price of any item in the store?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
|

|
|
It would mean that I had lowered my standards.

For those who haven't yet seen it: Apple presents the iRack - YouTube[^]
(This was broadcast in late 2006 or early 2007. Teenagers won't be getting it; they think it is Apple being mocked.)

A company who truly embraces "rotten to the core", helping with the crime a-peal-s to me.
Whinesap - a jerk who complains about how badly they overpaid for an apple anything.
Courtland - where the forced-their-products only policy should land them.

What? I'm pretty sure AOL keeps prompting me to install it.
|
|
|
|
|
Are you installing AOL from your CDs from 2004?
|
|
|
|
|
No, from the 3.5 inch floppy.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|

Don't laugh at AOL! The free floppies were great!
I had a stack of 3.5" floppies roughly 24" high! I didn't buy floppies from ~1994 until floppies went the way of the dodo bird ...
