I really think you all need to consider that without security updates, you are really putting your data and personal information at an extreme risk. While you may not be thinking that you cannot afford to upgrade, what will the cost be if your personal information is compromised, that will be catastrophic and much more costly in the long run. Also, how can you expect any software company to warrantee their products if you are using an operating system that by default will have no security. -----Original Message----- From: Duyahn Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 11:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: xp support for next version of window-eyes
I have to agree with Daniel on this topic. Not everyone has the finances to upgrade and get the latest and greatest computer, or operating system. On a totally different subject, I am a bit of a musician. I use a Talkbox. That Talkbox is powered with the help of an old Yamaha dx27 keyboard. What's the latest and greatest thing? A Micro Korg. Do I have the money for this? Nope? My point that I am making is this. Sure, Yamaha isn't supporting it anymlore. But, it, meaning the Yamaha, still works. Now, while a musical keyboard is different from a computer, a computer can't always be upgraded either. I don't have the money for another flavor of an operating system. I've run XP on two different machines. A desktop that was custome built, and this Dell laptop Latitude d520 model that I've had for over eight years. Virus scans are run on it everyday, I do cleaning of junk files, and, I do clean ups for the disk drives. Both external, and internal. So, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. i would love to get an updated OS but, unfortunately, I can't. I work with what I've got. It must be nice that jobs can afford to help upgrade folks when it comes to new operating systems. Do they take in to account that if something changes, it may not be accessible anymore depending on what that maybe? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Sweeney" <[email protected]> To: "GW Info Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 11:03 PM Subject: FW: xp support for next version of window-eyes > Thanks for telling me what I should be doing with the little money I have.. > Let's see, should I pay my rent and buy food or spend the money on a new > computer?
