Semi-related question.
I bought a Win7 family pack (3 licences) several years ago, to update several PC’s around the house - one of those later died, and was replaced by a new machine, it’s probably 2 years since it was last working.

A quick tip if you're going to do this - make sure you use a brand of water they don't sell there - you don't wanted to get accused of shoplifting, now, do you!

Edward Bellamy pretty much predicted the Internet as we know it in Looking Backwards - News, social communications, streaming music services, all over telephone lines.

Remember that episode of Friends where the gang figured out that Fun Bobby had a drinking problem?

It's not the friends that don't hangout with me because I don't drink, it's me doing very little that requires being social because the thought of doing it sober terrifies me.

I used to do that - the only drawback is that nearly 20 years of trying to keep up with my extrovert friends lead to a lovely case of alcoholism.

I used to do this - it worked great until, 2 decades later, I realised I had a bit of a problem...
