Ummm, in the right pane, the pretty pictures are big enough for these old eyes to see?

True, but that can be adjusted on either side.

I heard that the Photos App integrates with the Gallery SDK folder, but, I don't have the Photos App so, I don't know!

Let me ask, if I may, what is your opinion of the SDK Gallery folder as opposed to the regular Explorer one?

Actually I don't use either one. When I work with my photos I use Adobe Lightroom. I have a subscription to the Adobe Photographer's Plan.

By the time I have all that sorted out I'm looking at paying thousands upon thousands

Of all of my desktops, laptops and Mini PCs I have always kept the cost under$1,300.00.

I like it so much I removed it.

Anyway...,
we all have our faults, right??? Even Microsoft!!!

I'll be the first to admit, I've spewed out a rant, 1 or 2 or 78 times too many...,
but then, I'm a raving lunatic, so..., my apologies!

Having said that, I'm done here...

Yeppers, and I've had my say about some of the decisions Microsoft has made too.

Thing is, I don't denigrate my fellow denizens . . . Instead, I do my best to respectfully point those with problems in the right direction. As do you and pretty much everyone else here.

I’ll have a budget of AU$10,000 when I upgrade. If repairs on my house ever stop. (Will include new monitors)

Thank goodness I don't have a need, not a want to spent that kinda money on my computer. No matter what you buy, in 5+ years time it's outdated.

Absolutely it will be, I’d of said 1 year.
I haven’t built a computer since 2014, it cost me AU$4,500. It’s lasted near 9 years and I am still happy with it. The 10K is my treat to myself, if you only knew what I’ve been through in the past 7/8 years, you’d possibly understand. I know it’s overkill, but like I said, it’s my treat.

As a homeowner I have to ask, Is that even possible?

You would spend over $6,000.00 US dollars on a computer or did I look up the exchange wrong?

Termites ate 2/3 of my house, still recovering. They ate everything, including under my wooden flooring. Apparently 5 of the images I tried to upload are too large. I’m not near a PC to reduce them.

Also, had a 2nd heart attack during this, I deserve to lash out after all this crap. But you’re right, it never ends.

Sounds about right for the exchange rate.

The two most expensive toys I ever bought for myself was the 10' C band satellite dish and my 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. Not including sales tax they both were under $5,000.00. My wife was OK with the motorcycle. I bought it when she was still into riding. I wasn't as lucky with the satellite dish. We didn't have cable at the time and I bought it before they started scrambling everything. We had all of the premium services such HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and live news and sports feeds. Compared to the cost of having cable it did pay for itself. What I miss the most is the live news and sports feeds. No commercial, no censorship, and no edited out bloopers. Live was live.

As we all have. Myself, every time a new OS is released or something I use is changed, but I read Brink's new tutorials, reach out to all of you for help and I adjust. Soon enough, I get over it and move on. I can count on most everyone here being respectful of my inadequacies and I really appreciate that I'm not called out or talked down to because of them.
I certainly don't hate MS or anyone related to it and wish no ill will on anyone connected to them. If I did, I wouldn't have used their products all these years because I don't have to. I do have options.

In 2019, after some heavy health issues, my wife bought me a 2019 Harley-Davidson FORTY-EIGHT Custom. I rode it 10 times and sold it. There are some places you don’t ride motorcycles, Gold Coast Australia is one of them. People here get their car driving licenses from the bottom of cereal boxes. That bike was probably AU$16,000. I/she lost a couple of grand on it. 18k actually, got 16k back on it.

Our house has some wood rot/termite damage and we need a new roof. We have been putting money away to pay for it. At my age and with my wife's health problems and the increasing intrest rates (Thank you Joe!) I won't take out a mortgage. If I can get one more year working my part time job we should be able to do it. If I was about 20 years or more younger I would do the work myself and save a ton of money.

Nothing against Harley owners/lovers but I wouldn't own a Harley if it was given to me.

I’m a Triumph/Norton man actually. But I didn’t have the heart to say anything, it was a lovely thought

My first bike that was street worthy was a 1976 Susuki 250. I think it was a GT 250. I bought it brand new. That little 2 cycle engine had plenty of power for its size. It was the bike I used to take my road test with. It was also the bike I as I like to think, stole my wife to be from her parents. They were treating her rotten and I wanted to get her out of there. That evening I asked her if I could pick her up and bring her to my house. I also told her that before you answer I want you to know that if you do your not going back. She said yes and when I picked her up I was riding the Suzuki. That was in 1979 and we were married later that year. We are still together.
