    • in reply to: Did you learn Basic? #2718177

      Like 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.

      There 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.

      If 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
