    I like 10.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Part of my problem might be that I just don't have the time or patience to learn how to do things with 8 that I got so I could do without thinking on 7.

    Little things like saving a link to a website or document onto my desktop. With 8, I don't really even seem to have a desktop anymore - just a screen with big colored blocks on it that I mostly don't need and ignore. With 7, I just right clicked and selected "Save shortcut to desktop", or something like that, and it did it. I have no idea how to do something like that with 8.

    That's how technology works.

    Windows 10 sucks. I've thus far avoided every attempt of Microsoft's to force me to use 10.

    I have always believed that it should be the computers that learn our language, instead of the reverse having to happen. Doing something on a computer should just be a matter of telling the damned thing in simple English what to do...and there should be a special "You're being an idiot" key, that you use to get your computer to get it's s**t together and focus on what you're telling it.

    Overengineering.

    Same can be said about cars, or almost anything else.

    I logged onto my home computer one morning, and it was in the middle of installing Windows 10. I swear to God, it apparently just decided that it was going to use 10 without any input from me. I got it to stop - after selecting "Yes, I'm sure" about a million times - and re-install 8, but for several months after that it ran so slowly it was unusable...until I thought to uninstall and reinstall my security software, and then it was okay again.
