I did upgrade - and half the programs I still use regularly refused to work. They either have no new versions that run on 10 or cost beyond what my budget can handle for the upgraded version. So I'm on 7 until they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I'm in my 60s...and been using computers since the early days of minis (early 70s), and worked as a programmer, network analyst and even a stint as MIS Director during my 40 years of full-time employment...so I'm not computer illiterate.

Looks like I'll be 'behind the times' running 4.23 until I retire from computers completely...when I'm in the mortuary.
