I think.
At least, I’m asking here, and what I type is appearing here.
I started at 6:45 PST this evening installing W7 64-bit after wiping XP Pro. Went without a hitch. This, after $500 of MB and CPU changeout. Then drivers. Then MS Security Essentials. Then Thunderbird with all them damned in and out ports (W7 has no native email client). Then Mozilla, with NoScript, AdBlock, etc.
Shazzam! It all worked. I’m here. Thanks in no small measure to all the Wizards in Questions, to whom I have paid rapt attention these past months.
Thank you, everyone.
Question is, will it last?
