Got that all done, then reinstalled the program and put the icon on the desktop so they could find it easily.
He asked his kids why hadn't they put the icon there. They had to admit they didn't know how.

An old friend is a telecom and datacom tech, installing and maintaining telephone systems and networks for small and medium sized businesses. A
lot of his business is redoing correctly what someone else botched. (He's sent me before and after pictures where the before shots are horror stories if you understand what you're looking at.)
More often than not, the original botched installation was the work of a relative of the owner. The other cases tended to be what you get when you pick the lowest bid on a job.

Oh and on physics, I don't think they offered it at my high school.
I figured it was like chemistry.

Chemistry also uses math.

Off topic but on things I didn't know: I didn't know Liberace was gay until I read Behind the Candelabra. I just thought he was flamboyant.

I hadn't actually thought about it, but had you asked me "Do you think Liberace is gay?" back when, I would have said "Probably." I didn't think about it because his work was about as far from what I normally listened to as you can get.
His sort of flamboyance
was unusual in men who
weren't gay.
