SURPRISE for you! Two days ago, a bigger dealer over here avertised laptops on a Back-To-School sale, brand new, with Win7Pro on them. Out of three models for sale, only ONE, was with Win10. Enjoy your surprise. Smiley. Agreed, as time moves by, we might see the Win7 machines still in stock

In the old days, that is like 10 years ago, I used to have a version of Nero installed. Think it was version 5 or 6. It was a quite nice tool for ripping and burning CDs, but it also included a tiny recording software, with some really good noise handling features. I do not know where my disk

May not have anything to do with your system restart. Once they've got your phone number, they can go on for ages. One idea could be to get a caller-ID unit, and when you hear the number spoken out to you, determine whether you will pick up the phone or not. OK, likely they may be prepared, and
