What we have here was foretold in George Orwell's opus 1984, wherein video screens that were unable to be turned off were simultaneously filming and transmitting all that was in their line of vision.

Compulsory aerobic exercises were monitored and when Winston Smith faltered he was rudely reminded to keep pace.

"Smith!" screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen, "6079 Smith W.! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that.

You're not trying. Lower, please! That's better, comrade, now stand at ease the whole squad and watch me." George Orwell - 1984 - Part 1, Chapter 3.

Windows 8 has now been replaced by Windows 10, and like Bible Believer, Another Voice sees a mysterious, hidden Satanic agenda behind the latest incarnation of Microsoft’s operating system. Windows 10 the Work of the Devil.

if Win10 is the 'Work of Satan' we really need to have a chat because that's some seriously second / D grade work there. I think it might be the work of 'Downsyndrom Satan' (not that there's anything wrong with that)*

I'm not sure "chatting" would do any good ..

I recently upgraded to Win 10 and the whole process has been a nightmare, except for the costs involved I would have thrown the whole thing out and gone back to XP which has been discontinued in any case.

The most awful thing is the "Save As" feature has disappeared from Microsoft Picture Manager, which to a user such as myself whose operation depends on numerous picture edits is a complete disaster.

The rot set in when Microsoft abandoned Front Page which was the best way for an independent operator to erect and maintain an internet site, whereas the edit function was as easy as can be and all it took was one mouse click to load onto the i'net.

Front Page was last updated in 2003, while cPanelX which dictates what programs can and can not be used on internet forums, decided it would no longer host FP in 2013.

So if you need to edit yr site you need to go to Filezilla which is not responsive to the 32 bit system that XP used, so you have to download a program called Cute9FTP which costs 65$ there after to do what you can.

I could do nothing due to the complexity of the program and had to pay a tech to come over three times at 200$ a pop to get the edits done, whereas the last time he was here two hours..

And after pocketing my money he told me he couldn't do it anyway since it would take too long, which at the 100$ per hr he charged would send me broke!

The bottom line is I can't edit my site, thanks to the powers that be at Microsoft and at cPanelX .. its a bummer.

'DownSatan"

yeah chatting could help except DownSatan won't listen, he's on a one way path to disorganized dysfunctional backwards Operating systems.

If i chat to the normal Satan he'll probably say something like "hey talk to DownSatan it's got nothing to do with me" but we all know who is pulling DownSatan's strings !
