I can't remember when windows was good since XP.
Some of the newer versions almost encourage defenestration.

Or out the front bedroom, onto the little sticky out roof over the front room window and down the drain pipe. School hols when mum was at work obvs. Windows was cool then.

We had fixed glass window panes in sandstone frames.
No opening ones at all.

I was talking about the house not the school.
The school was even worse. They just had padded cells.

One of my teachers had his own plane.
I never went in it but some other boys did. After he went to prison for the wrong thing the school got closed down.
Quite a nasty place and some of the boys were boarding. Luckily for me I was not.
Only did a year there but that was enough to last a lifetime.

How could they have got it so wrong? I always liked the Vista default screen-saver though, I still use it. But the best thing about Windows for years was its easily pirate-able nature. There used to be a sport of 'who could nick it the fastest'. There was a time when my PC was run on 100% hooky stuff. Heady days! But now they give it away for free as policy, because MS want to grab a slice of the 'we have your details' empire. Which is evil, but they're all at it. You can run but you can't hide!

I remember a documentary about Prince Charles visiting a factory somewhere and they were sprucing it up, even painted the brick that was holding the window open!
...funny what you recall isn't it.
Back on topic... you really ought to have bought an iPad ...they just work!

I presume its North Midlands descent? π

What's the derivation of Dannies or Donnies?
