How did you deal with the password issue that folks talked about when setting it up? Frankly I think that's all a microwave oven is good for anyway is to reheat something. On 8/30/2018 10:56 AM, Rick Alfaro wrote: Hi. I have this oven and it's perfectly adequate for simple every day type

The reviews haven't been all glowing about this microwave either. You have to enter a password that is printed on the microwave door somewhere, and the data base for frozen products seems to be limited. From what I am able to ascertain, once you get the oven on the network, you have to wake u

Yes, definitely upgrade. It's fast and very responsive. There are certainly no accessibility degredations; in fact all the on-screen buttons seem to function properly, which wasn't always the case with JAWS previously, at least. The advanced preferences screen is still a bit tricky, but if you did

Yep most certainly! I don't use all the features of VLC but here's what I have noticed. VLC is faster than it was, loads faster and isn't sluggish at all as it sometimes was in past versions. Now VLC has a better ability to handle multiple files. I have a playlist of over 2000 songs here - my favor
