  TAME YOUR TECH

  

  By Susan Bradley

  Looking back, but not fondly.

  I’m getting very close to installing Windows 11 24H2 on the production PCs at my office. That means I’ll also be providing my long-promised, step-by-step guide to that process.

  Recently, I lamented having to get rid of an older automobile that had very little in the way of technology.

  As I mentioned in that post, the technology (if you can call it that) consisted of a CD-ROM player, an ordinary radio, a cigarette lighter, and an auxiliary port. It certainly didn’t have the newfangled automobile technology available in almost every vehicle today. The newer the car, the more likely it is to have a technology-infused dashboard as well as out-of-sight processing power under the hood.
