With Tropical Storm Ophelia forecast to completely screw up our weekend, my beautiful bride and I decided to play hookie and take advantage of the beautiful weather on Wednesday. After a morning of boat maintenance, we decided to cast the lines and drop anchor in one of our favorite coves until sunset. We won't get many more days like this before we have to winterize and get Cool Change read to hibernate for the winter..... https://digitaledgephotography.zenfolio.com/mattawoman-sunset-september-2023/ha041a23c#ha041a23c Love to all, have a warm, dry and safe weekend!

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. Mad Cow (48)

Someone, who knows someone, and a niece of that someone, whispered in my ears to Google: Windows 10 CD keys Not sure if that someone is speaking the truth. I am not going to check that out.

Had no issues myself with any of the COD games going from Win7 to Win10 and to Win11. Fortunate I guess... I did a re-install after going to Win11 only because I went from SSD to NVMe.

Same here but when i left W7 i changed pc too and had cod5 reinstalled with Cd no problem with W10, hope its gonna be the same when switching to W11

Maybe it's just me , But I haven't had any problems doing it ..

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday everyone ! I hope you have a great one !

Nice,A day spent on the water is a day well spent!

Unplug it if you can. WIth USB you can just let it 'eject' in that systemtray. Let the program Rescan/refesh it again. Or else shut it down, unplug and do it again. If it is a fixed drive, any drive, just focus and select them underneath and checker it. Sometimes it is a matter of looking and concentration Read ya tomorrow! As always, let us know if it works for you. Always helpful for others.

We are not there yet But, I never update mine and disabling that service, it still works. Thank you for that info, good warning. Or else I had to clone back in 2024, lmao

Macirum is no longer free - no updates after 01/01/24

Yes, it is so handy! I always have an extra drive. When the one I use breaks, just plug the other one in and boot: Done. Always have one as spare 'n cloned, ready to go. Downtime is just, absence/gone/finito/weg/.. . Back to daily doses of crap/nature movies/idiots.

Happy Birthday everyone
