    charlieg wrote: having to rotate your monitor to adapt to stupidity from MS is satirical That's a good way to describe it. :-) I would NOT rotate my monitor if the sole reason was that MS won't let you move the taskbar to its side. It definitely has its use.

    Interesting perspective. I do take pride in some of my accomplishments (a well-written library, for example, that I'll keep re-using over and over again), but "attachment"? Nah, I'm not feelin' it. I can always re-implement something, which means I can't get too attached to the original. But, reading what you write about (with a lot of fascination from my part), it's clear we're not working at the same level. Not even close. And I do mean that in the best way possible. :rose:

    I have made a number of improvements, if you have questions let me know. It is also possible to run this in a Azure DevOps pipeline.

    Don't talk to me about Bell and fibre. They destroyed much of my brand-new front lawn installing the fibre trunk, then trenched through my lawn with the supply cable, ignoring the previously-agreed routing to the service entrance for my house. The final "burying" of the cable amounted to about two inches into a slit cut with a spade, so the next time my wife decides to put in a flowerbed will likely spell the end of the cable. And the installer couldn't accept that I didn't want fibre hooked up because I told him the service wouldn't give me what I needed. "But it's the fastest speed you can get." Yes, but speed isn't everything. I need fixed IP addresses, and I need to hang servers on the connection (I run the company server farm in my basement).

    Officer, officer... I don't know what it is happening with the people... they must all have gone nuts, they are all driving on the wrong line. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
