Get back to me when Microsoft gives Windows away.
For some reason it has always been possible to activate Windows 10
with an existing Windows 7 key. It's not exactly 'giving away', but
MS made it extremely easy to have a fully activated Windows 10 without spending any money.
So there's that :-)

I just found back my old slrn config files and wondered whatever
happened with cola :-)
First reply was to DFS, so nothing really changed I suppose!
June of this year marked my first 20 years on cola, so I'm working on my
back 20 now.

Some of your complaints were valid 20 years ago. It's sad how some people seem to get stuck in the past.

Seem? That idiot is irretrievably stuck and helplessly spinning
his wheels while the rest of the computing world is racing
forward.
He's like one of those Appalachian backwoods codgers that refuse
to believe that the Civil War is over and the South lost.
An IQ of 85? Maybe a bit too high.

Nope. Seem old DuFuS, same old FUD.

LibreOffice has little to nothing to do with GNU. The main license
isn't even GPL, but MPL.

Using Ctrl+C or the menus, you can copy-paste ONE cell, or the entire
table. Those are your only options. You can't highlight a column and
copy-paste it. You can't highlight a row and copy-paste it.
The slopware will TELL you it's copying just the data you selected, but
when you paste it's a different story.

It's almost 2025 and that crapware LibreOffice Base still can't copy and >>paste correctly.

That really is it, I guess, you have M$ Access, you therefore spend
all your other computing time in M$. I could not care less about
anything M$ Office.

I could've had Win10 Pro and upgraded it to 11 on this machine, for
zero dollars, yes. I didn't know I could merely use the Win7 key.

It's not, but the fact that it is as good as it is at no charge to a potential user should give it a lot of bonus points.
