It never ceases to amaze me how people can f**k up a computer, in ways that I can't possibly reconstruct what they did. I'll ask them what they were doing, and they'll say, "I was trying to open a Word document on the desktop." And in my head, I'm like, "How could they possibly get from trying to open a file on the desktop to installing a device driver for a device they don't have?" It boggles the mind.
MacOS does a pretty good job keeping people out of trouble most of the time. But it can't stop everything, and it's essentially Unix, so when someone does manage to mess it up, it gets megaborked.
I was strictly referring to office computing, not personal. I hate transferring all my stuff from one PC to the other, not just files (which I usually don't store locally anyway). And I get how a Mac is great from a support standpoint at the office because everything is so locked down. But when I'm supporting my own machine, I don't want things to be locked down. I also understand that it's essentially Unix, but from a former Unix SysAdmin, I need to be able to get my hands dirty and get to a command prompt. Even in Windows, I often go out to the command prompt when doing troubleshooting. It's just not as easy to do on a Mac. AND GET OFF MY LAWN!

True, but you know it's going to be a pretty good day when you walk into a room and the first thing an attractive young woman says to you is drop your pants.

Sorry, I wasn't disagreeing with you, T.
The myth of Mac stability is exaggerated, and the myth of Windows instability is highly exaggerated. The former is based upon some silly presumption that a computer should be an idiot-proof utensil, and the latter on the fact that the cosmos keeps evolving bigger idiots. I've never had a problem with getting any OS stable. But I took the time more than four decades ago to understand how computers work.
So I suppose you and I don't count.

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 24, the 267th day of 2025
with 98 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1789, the Judiciary Act of 1789 was passed by Congress and signed by President George Washington, establishing the Supreme Court of the United States as a tribunal made up of six justices who were to serve on the court until death or retirement. The number of justices became nine in 1869.
In 1929, aviator James Doolittle demonstrated the first "blind" takeoff and landing, using only instruments to guide his aircraft.
In 1942, as World War II raged, popular bandleader Glenn Miller ended his long-running radio show and announced he was going into the U.S. Army. He was succeeded on radio by Harry James.
In 1957, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Ark., to enforce the Supreme Court's desegregation decision.
In 1959, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev met at Camp David, Md.
In 1964, Chief Justice Earl Warren hand-delivered to President Lyndon B. Johnson the Warren Commission report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy a year prior.
In 1969, the so-called Chicago 8 -- later to be known as the Chicago 7 -- trial began for eight men accused of taking part in anti-Vietnam War protests during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Some of the accused were convicted, but all were overturned.
In 1998, Iran's foreign minister announced the country had dropped its 1989 call for the death of Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, which many Muslims found blasphemous.
In 2005, the eye of Hurricane Rita made landfall at the Texas-Louisiana border. The Category 3 storm was responsible for more than 100 deaths and more than $18.5 million in damage, bringing a devastating storm surge that only worsened the effects of Hurricane Katrina weeks before.
In 2007, about 73,000 members of the United Auto Workers went on strike against General Motors after contract negotiations bogged down over wages and benefits. The walkout ended within two days.
In 2009, the discovery of a treasure trove of more than 1,500 finely crafted gold, silver and copper artifacts, found with a metal detector and believed buried by seventh-century Anglo-Saxon rulers, was termed one of most important in British archaeological history.
In 2013, authorities in southwest Pakistan said a 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Balochistan province killed at least 500 people and destroyed hundreds of houses throughout the region.
In 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an official impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump over allegations he pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announced an investigation into Joe Biden and threatened to withhold military aid. The House voted to impeach Trump in December 2019, but the Senate acquitted him three months later.
In 2023, NASA recovered a 250-gram dust sample from the Bennu asteroid, marking the first sample return of its kind in the United States. The sample was collected by spacecraft OSIRIS-REx.
In 2024, Thai King Maha Vajiralonghorn signed a new law legalizing same-sex marriage in the country. It was the first Southeast Asian country to do so.

Only seven. Stephanie McMahon triggered something in my mind, so I looked her up, but there's nothing about her that isn't tied to pro wrestling, which I avoid like plague. So, guess not.

I assume she's Vince McMahon daughter, but I couldn't tell you what she looks like. I've never been a fan of WWE.
