New Old

[rejectomorph]

Diddling about with a new computer today (a new old computer) but I'm not using it yet, just testing it. Windows 7 is going to take some getting used to. I won't be able to use my copy of Opera 12.17 on it, which could be a problem. I downloaded Opera 21 for testing, and it turns out to be, essentially, Chrome. If I want Chrome I'll download Chrome. If I can't get an older version of Opera to work on the new (old) computer, I'll have to make Firefox my default browser. But I'm hoping Opera 15 (the oldest version that the new (old) computer will work with) is a non-Chromy version.

Anyway, the diddling about took up much of the day, and there will be more diddling tomorrow, so I won't be around much. The whole process was very tiring and now I just want to eat something and sit in front of the television and fall asleep. Computers are tedious.

I wonder what your objection is to Chrome. I've never used Opera, though. Maybe if I had, I'd have an idea!

Chrome lacks some features I use frequently, mainly the text search. I have Chrome, of course, but seldom use it. For the few web sites that don't get along with Opera I have Firefox, which I open once or twice a week. Also, Opera has a built-in e-mail client so I only have to open the one program when I go online.
