    No, I was using a paid for version. I just noticed you can buy a brand-new copy of Paintshop Pro for $48 (cheap!) at https://www.paintshoppro.com/en/products/paintshop-pro/stand...…

    I stopped upgrading at version 4.14, in 1997. I think version 5 added layers and some other complexities that I just didn't care to deal with. Eventually, I added Gimp to my "arsen…

    Sorry, I broke one of my own Internet commenting rules: Never say anything bad about Apple. (smile)

    Thanks, I'll look into that. I would like to have a longer snapshot of what the Sony TV is doing. Something I forgot to mention in my original comment -- that darn TV is accessing …

    My WAN router only offers a short snapshot logging capability. I suppose I could look at using Wireshark or something, but I'm not too experienced in this area. If I decide to go "…

    Yes, but that's just trading one "surveillance capitalist" for another.

    We are recent "cord-cutters" with a brand new Sony 4K, Android-enabled TV. On our other TVs, we have a Roku and an Amazon Firestick. We use the builtin Sony apps because they were …

    I had never heard of SharkBite fittings. As a minimally-competent home handyman, I thank you for putting me on to them. Here's a link to an informative and sensible video on SharkB…

    I'm a frequent sleeper and I depend on the feature. Next time your machine wakes up by itself, go to a DOS prompt and type "powercfg -lastwake" That will tell you how it happened. …

    I'm curious about something and I can't find the answer on the web site -- Why were these recordings played and digitized in stereo when the records were mono?

    I don't exactly get what this is, but I made this one for practice -- an old joke that got me into hot water at work in the 1990's. http://txti.es/us-west-technology

    I think Access was the start of it. But Microsoft's purchase of FoxPro is what really put the nails in the coffin. FoxPro had some shortcomings (e.g. Foundation Read) but it was in…

    Thanks! I didn't notice transparent . I added the proxy_header based on documented requirements of the 2nd server.

    I agree with both posts above me. While I normally prefer a GUI configuration facility, I wouldn't make the argument that IIS is particularly simpler than Apache. Getting back to C…

    Nice to see you on here, Mr Holt. Thank-you for the great work you've done with Caddy. Like the rest of Caddy, I find the plug-in system to be simple and solid. Some people just se…

    Shortcomings of the article aside, I'd like to say that I use Caddy for a set of small websites and I couldn't really be happier with it. I'm a longtime Windows developer who doesn…

    So, you're telling me I should calm down. (smile) Yes. "On tilt" Nice gentle phrase and a sensible comment. As I noted above - I just realized that I was basically responding to cl…

    I don't get comments like this. You honestly think I didn't read the article? You are referring to Executive Order 9066 which, incidentally, could not be enforced without subsequen…

    Thank-you for your replies and patience with me. (really) "we learn to associate..." is a bit of a sad phrase. What we have done is experience a great deal of sloppy or propagandiz…

    replying to myself... I want to make the point clear that I am not defending the Japanese internment. It was certainly an evil act. One of many evil acts committed by nations aroun…

    Saying "FDR's ... Camps" is like saying "Harry Truman's Victory over Hitler" or "Ronald Reagan's Space Shuttle." Again, it is an extreme simplification and an attempt to manipulate…

    FDR's Japanese Concentration Camps? FDR's? That's a blatant attempt to simplify a historical event and manipulate the modern reader. Please spare me another rehash of how mean we b…
