I’ve been using Microsoft Windows 10 TP for quite some time now, with the full Microsoft 360 Office Suite and numerous other older and newer programs. There are some nit compatibility issues with really old stuff, but generally it’s a non-issue. The current build of the Technical Preview is quite stable. From a UX perspective, it is LIGHT YEARS ahead of piece of crapola that is Win8/8.1. Microsoft is truly taking the time to get it right. Frankly, from what I can see so far, Win 10 w/a touch screen will totally antiquate Apple’s OS X. Not sure what’s up Apple’s sleeve (probably something iOS like), but it better be good and it better be soon else they’re going to see their Mac sales plunge. If you have some means of running a virtual machine (Parallels is what I’m using), then I highly recommend giving Windows 10 TP a whirl if you’re into that sort of thing.

History retired
My first ride in an airplane was a United 747 to Hawaii when I as 7 years old. I remember marveling at the lounge upstairs and the little airplane given to me by the pilot when I visited the cockpit. Truly one of the world’s great planes headed for retirement. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/uniteds-747-retirement-plan-marks-end-for-iconic-jet-in-us/ar-BByaBG4?OCID=ansmsnnews11
Retro-computing
Spent some time checking out retro computing articles. Brought back fond memories of “hacking” systems by writing my own sector 0 BOOT loader. Good times, but man am I old! And yes, the statute of limitations applies to anything I might allegedly have been involved with back in the 80’s.

Out pursuing one of my hobbies… pretty old tech in use (Canon 70D), but it gets the job done.
