It's all about the red hair. You couldn't make the scene up - the human condition at work. Thanks all for your kind comments.
I downloaded Windows 10 the other day and am struggling to get used to the new environment, so if future postings go astray, bear with me.
I have resisted the W 10 blandishments so far - probably always will. I lost enough compatibility with my computer/photographic set-up when the new (then) computer arrived, boasting W 8.1. I simply couldn't do anything with it. I eventually discovered a download called something like 'classic shell' which made the interface look more like XP and Vista, with which I was familiar.
It's not just cameras that are becoming screwed up in tech. just to market new versions. Bugger 'em all.
There's a saying, advice, that goes: don't give away anything you can sell. That W 10 is being offered free must mean that it truly sucks or, worse, is but a plot to ensnare so many future dependents that the market will be cornered. Hmmm... free... a bit like some 'modern' stock agencies, then: destroy and destroy in the hope that you'll be the last man standing and will then find yourself able to dictate your terms to the world.
