OH WOW... I don't miss Windows not one bit.

I look at that list and think of all the bugs and performance issues with everything listed.

One of these days, I will be able to do a brain dump of all the IT stuff.

Then I will get to a place where I won't miss IT not one bit.

Thank you so much for reminding me that I am on the right course.

Thanks, Jason, for helping me with a quick start for my own standard software list!

I'm laid up with a knee injury - it's amazing how much work I'm getting done... though I would suggest a better approach to getting some quiet time ;)
