Westside Steve Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 So believe it or not even I get chain emails and today came one from Donald J Trump asking for donations of 5, 10, 15 and up oh, I could choose my own denomination, but the donation seems to be slated towards the indictment of Hillary. I went to the Trump website and saw nothing of the sort even though there were buttons to donate to his campaign. Anybody else get one of these?

calfoxwc Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 the biggest scam is the call from "microsoft", a big lie, and they try to get you to go to your computer, and you end up looking at certain parts of your windows file. and they say those files are dangerous viruses and try to sell you the solution. it's a bogus bunch of crap - scam.

Switch to linux. You'll be happier for it. I'd recommend linux mint for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I use Linux on all my own machines. I don't care for Windows one but and, on general principals, I'll have nothing to do with apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbedward Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 If you run a well supported linux distribution you'll pretty much never have any problems. At work we have servers that have 2 year + uptime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I thought about that once or twice, but I is it compatible with all video games, and major software I'd be using ? ms office etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the games you play - and there's office alternatives that work with all ms office files - Libre, WPS. Or you can use Office 365 which works too.

The Cysko Kid Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Libre office. If you absolutely need ms office for some insane reason you can run it under WINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
