I've always used ctrl-alt-del to get to the task manager. Never knew there is a direct shortcut or context menu. And I exist by PC since Win95.

And where were you in the time of CP/M?

And where was I in the time of OS/360?

Considering that my first program ran on an IBM-7040 (in WATFOR, of course), I think I've been around for long enough to qualify for a free ticket to the land where programs have no bugs

I don't know where you'd find bug-free programs. I can't imagine that there are computers in Heaven, and in Hell the programs wouldn't be bug-free.

They sure must be! And they all answer to "Hello, Computer"

IBM 1620 here, built two years before the 7040 in 1959.

CP/M That was the OS I used at home while working on by BSCS it allowed me to program at home vs classmates going to the LAB to do homework. In those days you needed to program in ASM just to get peripherals to work.
Good memories

Those were some of the most fun days of my computer building. I built a number of interesting and useful peripheral boards for my home build CP/M based system (S100 bus). A 4K RAM board, a control board for an IBM selectric typewriter mechanism (no dot matrix printouts for me!), a Votrax based speech synthesizer board and a cassette tape backup board. I just loved the low level design and programming.

Oh Wow, I forgot about that I bought the Vortrax chip (I think it was about $65 a lot for the mid 80's) wire wrapped a S100 Board with an ADC and an RTC and had a talking Clock as well as a talking voltmeter The system also greeted me on Powerup.
You can Thank the movie 2001 and the HAL 9000 for some of the that went into that system.

It was a fun project. I wrote a text to speech program so I could make it say whatever I wanted. It really brought home how funky english language spelling can be!

The direct shortcut is CTRL+Shift+ESC, and this is what I am using.

im still pissed with the context menu.
90% of use for context menu is open in notepad++ (multiple times a day ir not hourley), 7zip, and folder search agent ransack
"show more options" 
I know regedit to change this, but works machine I don't want to mess that much with.
glad to hear that maybe when get update task manager

Now they just need to make the taskbar side-dockable again.

i skipped windows vista and windows 7 and went directly to windows 8.1, because in windows explorer there was no "up directory" button
people trying to explain to me that i am stupid and that breadcrumbs are a better way to navigate the file system just made my decision firm to stay on windows xp. i am infinitely more grateful if someone declares that my opinion doesn't matter at all, than telling me that they switched to a better solution for me, that i would love to use
cheers

Hi all,
Planning to buy a Netgear Orbi Pro SXR80 router and SXS80 satellite.
OUR USE CASE
The SXR80 would be connected to our router (that we will configure as bridge) in the right side of first floor and the SXS80 in the left side of the basement.
Both floors are +/- 100 m2.
In the basement we have the work office, with a server, a nas, a printer, two laptops, a FireTV, two IoT devices and two cell phones.
In the first floor we have the ONT + Old router (in bridge mode) + Phone (landline connected to the old router), another printer, a couple of computers (that need connection to the server), a Chromecast, a FireTV and two cell phones.
My idea is to connect both Orbi products using their WIFI 6 specific link channel, no cable linking them together.
The server, the NAS and my laptop will be wired to the SXS80 all the other devices will be connected using WIFI.
The ChromeCast, FireTV, IoT devices should be in their specific VLAN not sharing connection with all the other (important) devices.
Using those 2 devices I would remove the need of extra switches and I would have a free LAN port in each floor for future updates (or to be able to connect a switch if needed).
QUESTIONS
Have you used those devices?
Should I be aware of anything annoying on that setup?
Is there a better choice of devices out there?
As always, thank you in advance! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

They had a production line going: a short queue to get into the hall (local Rugby club), hand the invitation letter over. Sign here, take this, go over there to short queue. Take off outer clothing (to tee shirt level for access to upper arms).
Two seats, two nurses per seat.
Sit down, quick questions about your last jab, "3 ... 2 ... 1 ... jab in each arm" - Covid in left, flu in right. Stand and move away, dress (it's cold outside), and leave. Total time in building about 5 mins, and I'm up to date, and had my first flu jab to boot.
Now I suspect I'm going to have sore arms from the injection sites for a few days, but here's hoping I don't get any side effects (I did with the first jab, but hardly any last time IIRC).

I had the same last year Paul ( also my first flu jab ) and didn't suffer any repercussions apart from a dull ache at the Covid injection site. Hope you have a similar experience.

I had slight bruising for a day after the Covid jab, but it was nothing serious. I declined the flu jab, but SWMBO did have it, and says that arm still feels a little bruised some two months later.

Got my fifth Covid jab with Moderna last week, also a 5 minute experience, no crowds or queues. No side effects

Six or seven months ago I had my 4th COVID and regular flu shot together, on a Tuesday morning.
Fine all day Tuesday, overnight and Wednesday morning.
Then about 4pm Wednesday a freight train ran over me; I lay down on my bed and passed out.
Had about 5 hours of the most intense flu symptoms, then all gone.

Without a good reason I have to wait 10 years to get the 4th, and another 5 years for the 5th...

Did that recently myself. Had to wait like 10 minutes in the supermarket, but it could have been worse. I wasn't that sore. A little, just enough that I noticed but not enough to significantly bug me. Hope yours goes similarly well.

I had the option of getting both shots in the same arm - which I did. Two needles into the right arm as I am left handed. Zero side effects.
