Whatever you do, don't ask Microsoft tech support for help. They're idiots. When I was having problems downgrading from 8.0 to 7, the conversation was:
Them: "Well, you need to reinstall Windows 8. Your machine wasn't designed for Windows 7."
Me "Really? Which part? The motherboard is rated for everything from Vista up, as is the processor. I don't think the memory cares, nor do the hard drives! So it must be the case that's giving me problems?"
It got worse until I gave up on Microsoft Support. Forever..
Too fast. It was a terrible wreck, and the death toll was horrifying.
Too many victims to render without quad Titan X'x, at least.
I hear that.
When I was a kid here in the '50s in western NY state, big long freight trains and passenger trains would whiz by here at 45-50 miles an hour (they had to slow down for the big curve on the west of town), many each day. Sometimes in both directions simultaneously on the two tracks. We even had a major accident in the middle of town once when it hit a truck on the crossing 
Nowdays when a train does come through (about 4 or 5 a week) it's a short freight and moving about 5 or 10 miles an hour on the single track left. And passenger service in this area is completely gone. The USA may have a wonderful road system but the trains completely suck. Although I admit that when I lived in Washington DC during the '90s it was wonderful to be able to hop on the subway (Metro) system in the suburbs, travel to Union Station in Washington, take the train to Grand Central Station in New York City all in just three or so hours. But the view along the tracks from the trains through the cities was really crappy most of the time, like I'd stepped back in time a hundred years to tar shacks and junk yard landscaping. The trains should not have windows.
Update on my Windows7 install/update problem. I let my Win7 system just sit overnight saying it was checking for updates. This morning it was waiting for me to approve an installation. (Yea!). According to the log it had found the updates by 2:50 in the morning. It found 221 updates and is now currently installing them. Yea!
Currently I don't have any USB3.0 equipment. I have several newer hard drives but my external drive enclosures that they are in are all many years old and USB2.0 only. Also, none of my computers currently have any USB3.0 ports. Once in a while I get in a mood where I start thinking I should get a new computer with the latest, greatest, fastest stuff but then I look at the four Win7 or Win10 computers that I do have that are working perfectly well for what I do, then I look at my bank account, and the mood quickly passes. Computers were my life for 4 decades. I'm over it. Now they're just appliances. I'm perfectly happy driving a Buick instead of Porche. Although I do also have a couple of Model-Ts (WinXP) in my garage.
At least two possibilities:
1) The've been drinking the water.
2) It's short-term profitable.
@ the WIn7 updates: When I was putting a dual-boot installation of it on my Win10 laptop, it took ages to find them as well. At first I thought something was broken XD
One of the later updates though simply installs a "Don't forget that Windows 10 is here~!" reminder that never goes away and you cant remove unless you uninstall the update (Which is okay, since it ONLY adds that one bit of nagging app).
Practicing for when I get a cell phone.
That one true friend at work...
It doesn't hurt. I suffer a similar condition (without the popping part). However, it doesn't get you many dates :/
is a vague memory from an algebra exam.
SATs woes scored higher on the english part, not so much the math.
can i blame the gluten? cant imagine how much gluten they fed us kiddies back then.

I feel like a fool. I was waitng for the picture to finish loading but then realized it had finished loading.
...not looking forward to the W7 pro upgrade I need to make so I can upgrade my memory just because of that (and a number will be those W10 "nag" updates).
internet explorer now refuses to open. I can open firefox fine but not internet explorer.
..yeah my old neighbourhood on the south side of Milwaukee hd two sets of double tracks running north and south. One, which was only for freights, was about a block away. the other set was primarily for Chicago and Northwestern's "400" streamliners that travelled between Milwaukee and Chicago and to points north (like Green Bay and the UP).
Today the freight right of way is an expressway extension from downtown that ends just east of the airport and the passenger one has only one track with usually slow short freights like you mention.
Interestingly besides the Union Pacific (which took over Chicago & Northwestern operations, Canadian National is the other major rail line in the state having taken over several small and medium Wisconsin based freight lines.

...97 Fs in the hood right now with the hottest part of the day yet to come (about 3 - 3.5 hours from now).
Might not be such a long wait if you're upgrading from an existing Win7 Home installation. The long wait seems to come when you install a fresh copy of Win7 from an old installation disk (mine was Win7-SP1 but it was over two years old). It apparently has to examine your installation in great detail and then get you in the download queue for over 200 updates, and Win7 stuff is probably low priority now because they're trying satisfy the demand for Win10 downloads. I just wish that the download tool gave more of an indication that it was actually succeeding and doing things. A progress bar of some sort. You tell WindowsUpdate to check and it says: "OK I'm checking..." and that's the last you hear from it for hours and hours.
I've gone back and gotten several more rounds of updates for my machine today and the wait isn't more than a few minutes.
Morning. River fog laying like a fallen sky on treetops and towers and red tiled roofs a little after dawn :)
Looked into Octane but found out it is (a) too expensive and (b) will not work with my current video card which makes it (c) too expensive
Providing that c is the Hippotenuse
I just remembered to destroy the checks I desposited with my bank's app, but I am missing one or two. I am afraid my old roommate stole them, but I have no proof. I am afraid that my old roommate might try to forge my signature or something to cash it and then I get into trouble for double cashing a check.
Texas has 2 time zones, Central and Mountain. Austin is in Central; El Paso is in Mountain. We haven't had any flooding near our 'hood. Awesome lightning shows have occurred though. The creek half a block from the house isn't out of its banks. The tower I use for Net access went down about 2 pm yesterday and wasn't back until around 10 this morning.
I had a General Motors district manager tell me the cigarette lighter in my car broke because I had 21,000 miles on the car.
I still think if you are asked for the cube root of a number, just divide the number by 3 and tick "none of the above."
That was a great movie!

No more duckface!!!!

And yet we survived and (mostly) turned out just fine! And we rode bikes without helmets, climbed trees (well, my sister did, I didn't), played in the dirt, didn't come home until the street lights turned on, shared candy, shared drinks - out of the same straw!!! Eeek! How did we manage to live this long?
