Hi Roger,

I read an article, in a puter magazine of course, about an
anniversary upgrade to Win10, .......

Simple enough to find out. Click Start > Settings > System > scroll
down the left pane to About and click on it. If you have the
anniversary update, it will show 1607, just like it shows on my
tearline below.

When I read 'pane' I interpret it to window. What I got after clicking
Settings >, was a splash covering most of the screen.

I tried to find "system", "about" and "version" without results.
Next day I clicked the icon named 'system' on the splash screen, and
there I found 'about' at the end of the list.

It showed the version to be: 1607, ie. the update. I checked again the
contents of the Windows Upgrade Assistant, and found a couple of text
files dated oct.11 2016, apparently telling the date of the upgrade.

That happens to be the date that killed my access to Facebook oct.12th.
I haven't got it working since then.

I believe the one before that was 1533, but I could be wrong. It
was 15-something, however. (-:

Yes it was apparently 1511. I started up the laptop, and before doing
anything else, I checked the 'about', and it showed 1511. You may have
done an upgrade after that, to have it show 1533.

I then started up the WiFi, and was shown that Windows had an upgrade.
It didn't ask me if it should apply it, but started downloading that immeadetely, and applied it at once.

After that, when clicking Start > and Settings >, I do now get what I
would call a 'window' (pane) on the left, that now makes me more
confused, than the previous 'splash screen', with the various icons.

OTOH, Facebook seems to work on that machine, despite the fact that I
have never used, nor logged in to FB before with it. But of course, the
user is the same, as well as the email address.


Have a nice day,

Holger

Hejsan = Howdy Roger,

No, I'm on US Fall (Central Daylight Time). We return to Central
Standard Time this coming Sunday. I wish it would stay that way all

Yeah, I agree. We changed back to normal time (UTC+2) oct. 30th.
People here call it wintertime, which is stupid. Calling the DST
summertime may be ok, but it's a total waste of time and energy.

Farmers cannot change the time for the cows that have to be milked, same
time every morning, irrespective of what the hour hand on the clock says

Lately my body has accepted the time change very well, but even three
years ago it a week before my body had adapted the change.

Simple enough to find out. Click Start > Settings > System > scroll

I'll have to startup the laptop again to study that "left pane" I got,
after the upgrade to 1607, I told you about yesterday.

IIRC the machine the GS had, was the Amiga 500. I may be wrong
however.

I believe that's the one we had demo'd. The RAM could be upgraded
to 9 MB, I think. One could still buy ne of those on Ebay.

I didn't have the proper manual to read about all it's capabilities, but
as I recall having seen in the AmigaDos manual, it seemed to be very
similar to Unix, (that we call Linux), with commands like mount etc, for
adding capabilities.


Have a good night,

The word still has vowels in it.

BTW, I checked last night while W10 was running (I have W10 Pro) and I can't change the settings for updates. I thought not being able to change background
colors in a window was aggravating enough, but now I have one more. The update
settings and window background colors in Windows 7 can be set to whatever you want, but not W10.

Sorry. I should have put column there instead of 'pane'.

You don't have to be sorry. Windows itself doesn't seem to know, what to present on the screen. After I had let the update loose on the laptop,
it showed a long column, with all kinds of settings, in a long column on
the left side of the screen.

Next time when I started it up and chose settings, it again was back to
the splash screen, with the icons for different choices.

It showed the version to be: 1607, ie. the update. I checked again
the contents of the Windows Upgrade Assistant, and found a couple
of text files dated oct.11 2016, apparently telling the date of the upgrade.

I didn't go that far, but I still wonder why that icon is on the

talked into getting a FB account by a Russian concert pianist and
her husband who now live in Baden-Baden, Germany.

I really don't have time for FB, but I opened the account mainly to be
able to look at the videos and pictures my GS send from the various
places his job takes him, and pictures that my relatives put up.


Have a good day,

I didn't check there yet, mainly because it didn't occur to me. I thought it would be under Settings, but the upgrades there seem to be hard-coded.

Good morning again Roger,

Hejsan = Howdy Roger,

I thought that meant "Hello".

It's a hello that mostly is used between friends you know, while 'Hej'
is mostly used between people that you are not familiar with.

UTC+6 here this morning. I suppose the majority of the people
wanted DST. Nobody asked me.

Most people here are fed up with 'summer time', not least the farmers. Actually, we want to use swedish, ie. west european time, because the
only official language here is swedish, despite that the rest of Finland
is officially a bi-lingual country.

We are enjoying swedish TV and radio programs, but we also have the
finnish channels available.

The problem is, that swedish time is UTC +1hr and finnish time is UTC +2
also called east-european-time (eet), but we are a west european country

Lately my body has accepted the time change very well, but even

My body still rebells against it.

I don't understand why my body doesn't rebell anymore.

it seemed to be very similar to Unix, (that we call Linux), with

I didn't get into the DOS part of it because at the time, I was more interested in the BASIC functions it used. Very similar to IBM or
MS BASIC and I had only that one Amiga BASIC program to convert.

I left Basic very soon after having acquired my first computer 1982.

To make large and fast programs I started using assembler, and later
I learned Turbo Pascal and also tried Turbo C. I stuck with Pascal.

The PASCAL fido echo was where I spent most of my fido time in the early 1990s. I even got quite a lot of snippets into the SWAG archive. Nowadays all the old mirrors seem to give you a 404, but my copy is still available at

And the revolutionary concept of embedded assembler code in TP7 did give programs a real boost, such as in my "The Fastest Pi Calculator Ever":

Iirc the article said Cortana was to be used to learn what version of

When I read the article I thought it looked like a quick way to get that
info.
But I haven't any plans to start using WinTen so I really don't know
anything about it by experience.

I read messages from BBS Users (and others) to learn about what they like
or don't like about the OS they use.

I was using Win95/98 until 2006, then I started using XP after reading
BBS messages from Users giving it a good report.
Lately all I read about XP is that it isn't a good OS to use anymore.

Regarding QRZ: I was in there yesterday and found that I couldn't do anything without Java, and the suggestions were to enable Java in

I see Mark sent a message about Javascript/JAVA to You.
Before I Log On QRZ now, I learned that I HAVE TO enable s3.Amazonaws.com
in NoScript or I will get that error message from QRZ too.

However, I'm using Opera as my browser. If that had been on the list,
I may have catched the suggestion to enable Java, but since I'm opposed
to use Java, I'm glad that it wasn't on the list.

I have Opera's browser too to use if Firefox quits working or it can't
get a web page to open.

So consequently I'll stay out.

I just tried Opera to log on QRZ, and it worked for me.
Opera didn't gripe a bit.
I looked for OH0NC and got the page asking if I wanted to add it to their database, I didn't.

I looked at my page twice, when I was Logged In and after I Logged Out.

I found out the second time all it showed was the message I had saying
what my old Call Signs were, when I clicked the Second Tab, it said I had
to be Logged On to read what was there.

The Second Tab is where I see the HamGrid option, that is just below the Map.

The HamGrid has options to show the QTH of other Hams in the area that is
being displayed in the HamGrid window and what Grid their QTH is in.

I guess You will have to Subscribe to put OH0NC in the QRZ Database.

I enabled both and connected to QRZ. It still complained that Javascript

Same message: Your Javascript isn't enabled ....

Thanks for the lesson, anyway. I'll try the above URL's next time.

It was JavaScript.

ok...

even so you can easily look it up...

https://techhelpkb.com/enable-and-disable-java-in-opera/

or if you meant javascript instead...

https://pchelp.ricmedia.com/enable-disable-javascript-opera/

I checked today, and found in the Opera tools, the settings for both
Java and Javascript.

I enabled both and connected to QRZ. It still complained that Javascript wasn't enabled. I closed down Opera, restarted it and tried again.

Same message: Your Javascript isn't enabled ....

are you using a blocker like noscript? if so, tell it to temp allow qrz or whatever site it is blocking... hopefully it has a list of all domains used on the page... i select one at the time and let it reload... i'm very picky about the ones i allow through for different sites and i only allow through enough to
make the page work properly... i don't know off hand what domains qrz pulls stuff from, though... i only go there once in a blue moon as there are other places to get the same info without the hassle...

GE Ed,

I know how to check the version of Windows 10.

Iirc the article said Cortana was to be used to learn what version
of WinTen was being used on a pc.

Not at all necessary. The fastest way is to click on Settings>, then the
System Icon> and on the bottom of the presented column, click on 'About'

This I learned from Roger.

I don't use Cortana at all

I was using Win95/98 until 2006, then I started using XP after
reading BBS messages from Users giving it a good report.

I jumped from WFWG 3.11 to XP Pro, without passing any versions between.
----- " ----- XP Pro to Win10 Pro, ----------------- " ----------------.

Lately all I read about XP is that it isn't a good OS to use
anymore.

XP is still usable, and I still have it on an old Lenovo laptop.

I see Mark sent a message about Javascript/JAVA to You.

Yes, the discussion is going on.

Before I Log On QRZ now, I learned that I HAVE TO enable
s3.Amazonaws.com in NoScript or I will get that error message from
QRZ too.

Dunno what that is.

I just tried Opera to log on QRZ, and it worked for me.
Opera didn't gripe a bit.

OK.

I looked for OH0NC and got the page asking if I wanted to add it to
their database, I didn't.

Next time you can add my callsign there, since I read that a QRZ-user
could do that. After that, if I ever try to access QRZ again, I may
update the information, which you cannot do.

I guess You will have to Subscribe to put OH0NC in the QRZ Database.

I have subscribed already, so have I access to the database when/if it
accepts the Javascript that Opera offers.

I have forgotten to mention to you, that when looking at the map of time
zones, in and old english "Radio Reference Handbook", published 1946,
I stumbled across an "English-German Radio Vocabulary" in it.

The reason I didn't remember it, was that I got a good dose of german at school, and that I have learned the german radio terms in the education
to radio- and TV-tecnician, and also from the service manuals.

Good morning Mark,

I enabled both and connected to QRZ. It still complained that Javascript wasn't enabled. I closed down Opera, restarted it and tried again.

are you using a blocker like noscript? if so, tell it to temp allow
qrz or whatever site it is blocking... hopefully it has a list of
all domains used on the page...

As far as I can recall, I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in any
settings, and I don't know if AVG or ZoneAlarm do use it.

i select one at the time and let it reload... i'm very picky about
the ones i allow through for different sites and i only allow through enough to make the page work properly...

OK, I'll have to see if "search" can find such a setting.

I'm also finding that some programs are very selective to Opera.
Yesterday I let the Adobe Reader upgrade. After having done that, it
left a message that it could'nt apply it to Opera, but did it on Edge.

I have never, ever used that browser, it was just included in Windows.
I chose Opera because I was familiar with it from OS/2, and also because
it maybe isn't as prone to be attacked as the usual browsers like Edge
and FireFox may be.

I may have to let FireFox loose. I do have it installed, and on the
laptop Gnome was included when I received it.

Oh well, I have much to learn about Windows 10 since XP :-(


Have a good day,

Holger

they do not... it is a browser addon that you have to specifically install... noscript and adblockpro are the only two browsers addons i use and recommend but they do require some learning for one to get all their sites working properly without ads...

As I mentioned before, I did check the settings of Opera, and both Java
and Javascript were enabled.

Thanks for the info. One of these days/nights, I will disable Opera as
the favourite browser, and enable FireFox instead.


Have a good night,

Holger
