You can get the Slimjet browser ( a Chromium one ) that still supports XP and Vista and they keep it up to date security wise.

There is an old version of MS Security Essentials that actually works IF you don't install it's last program update, finding that version is going to be tough and then you should "hide" it's last update.

Being a 32bit ( more than likely since the 64b version is a bit rare to see and buggy besides ) OS, the max usable memory it will support is about 3.2Gb... the last .8Gb is used for IO memory space and things ( for a total of 4Gb ).

Sometimes it's all in the crop you select...

This is another Lunar Eclipse shot that I took the other night after having the focus get messed up with my main series of shots. While this shot isn't actually as "in focus" as my other one I posted ( and was also not focused well )... it's taken with the lens that I normally prefer ( a my telephoto at 300mm instead of the cheapy fixed 500mm lens from the other shot ). Since I didn't crop in to match the magnification level, it appears to be more in focus ( even if it's not )... and it certainly has a more accurate color than the other ( which I could probably fix if I'd boost it's saturation and/or luminescence ).

Also, I did a golden ratio layout instead of just centering the shot which is always a little more interesting to the eye... and is able to include a star in the shot as well... :)

I appreciate that...

I prefer the latter pic myself despite knowing it's technically less focused and all that... which is sort of cool to consider and all... in a techie, geeky, nerdy sort of way... :D

Hey Tony. Haters are everywhere. If you try to please everyone, you will drive your self crazy. Especially now a days in a politically correct world. You will offend someone...no matter what you say or do :(.

With people like that I go out of my way to offend everyone, then I am not accused of bias against any particular group. :D

Yeah Tony..its nuts, there are so many eggshells everywhere I almost feel I need to stand still so I don't upset someone.

I told my son "suck it up princess " once (we joke with this all the time) at a shopping mall and got reprimanded by complete stranger.
I won't share what I told her (it might offend someone :apple:)

DOG ..lmao classic my man.

Welcome back!!!!! a few of us on here have had bad years, myself being one of them. My goal is to turn things around and start being happy again. Get the debt paid down and stop worrying so much about stuff. Minimal life me. I want to be able to pack and go no questions asked. Soon to be wife and I want to be able to just go hike and camp without having to worry about other stuff. Time to free ourselves from the normal daily grind.

In 2015 in left my ex and moved out. 2016 my divorce was final and my mom passed. In Oct of 2017 I had plans to do some army training that fell through and left me unemployed. Its been a struggle ever since. I made the commitment to end the same old day in day out life.

I am in the process of adding to the fleet by down sizing my heli size. I am going to be getting an Oxy 3 for my beater. If the gaui x3 doesn't sell then ill get it back to flying on 3S.

Hey Kyle, welcome back bro. You must be on Mobile... I have been working for the last couple of months to reduce those ads on mobile. Google thinks stacking ads on top of ads on mobile devices is how to place ads. Um, no.... I'm working on it for all of the mobile users. The main site though as long as you are logged in is pretty minimal. But I'm thinking about working on that a little as well, but not a top priority ATM.
