Solitaire - by taskbar on the left, I mean this:
It's been suggested that booting into Safe mode might solve my shrunken icons issue. Someone here claimed to have solved an issue by doing that… which we couldn't fathom… so I'm going to try that in a jiff.
As well as commonsense and taskbars another thing we lost on the left is function keys - as in the F-type kb that came with the IBM AT. If I could find such a kb today I'd order one yesterday.
