AskWoody PlusLike several others, it was on a Teletype connected to GE’s time-share system, in 1970. I was in 12th grade, and also attending a local Vo-Tech school for electronics. The GE time-share BASIC was made available to the HS students, and while I signed up for it, not many others did. I had enormous fun, and near the end of the year in ’71, the HS principal told me that _I_ ran up the largest bill for access time. That made my day, and ten years later a 33-year career working in IT as a manager in a state transportation agency.

AskWoody PlusThere is a way to add these fonts to the Windows fonts folder.
In Explorer, navigate to the font sub-folders under:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FontCache\4\CloudFonts\
select the TTF file or files, right click on the selected group, and left click “Install for all users” in the right-click menu. This will add them to the Windows font folder, where they are available for all applications.

AskWoody PlusFebruary 28, 2021 at 4:36 pm in reply to: Tasks for the weekend – February 27, 2021 Check your DNS #2346857If you are going to use alternate DNS, you should set the IPV6 config as well, Win10 certainly uses it. I have been using the Cloudflair DNS for a while now, including their IPV6, which is also configured into our own router here:
1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 2606:4700:4700::1111 2606:4700:4700::1001 Google's DNS is: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844
