I’ve used Roboform since the 1990s

I did ask myself whether Roboform had been available in the 1990s!  Siber Systems’ website said that Roboform was first released in 2000.  Thus, my claim of “since the 1990s” gilded the lily, but only slightly.

It IS paid for, but I pay happily.

I’ve used Roboform since the 1990s, and been completely satisfied.  For some reason it never seems to make it on to the “expert” comparison articles in the computer press, but it’s still the best – for me.

n general I honestly would prefer that people not post anonymously on the site.

Susan – I agree with you.  I tried debating this with Woody; he was convinced that certain people NEEDED to be able to post anonymously, and would feel inhibited, probably because of where they worked, if they were unable to be anonymous, and their contributions to AW would be the lesser as a result.

How would it be if people had to justify being anonymous, rather than just doing so because of their approach to their “privacy”?

To add further to the second part of your post, if I recall correctly, the invasion of Cuba wasn’t just threatened, it was the unanimous recommendation of Kennedy’s joint chiefs of staff to launch an invasion,

The trouble with invading somewhere is that you have to had a vision of what you want to do after you have invaded.  History abounds with examples where the invading power had failed to do this.  Ukraine, obviously, Cuba, in the example that you quote – perhaps JFK saw that where his joint chiefs did not, Iraq, the list goes on.

Anon – thank you!

What you described worked, and, moreover, making the change in Word 2010 carried over to Excel and Outlook.

There’s plenty of online help available, and it’s probably better than these now missing Help files.  Remember the old adage: “about as helpful as a Microsoft help file”.

Thanks, I’ll try some purging of the remembered mail addresses.

Joe – thanks, that was already set to “Convert to HTML format”.

There seems to be a bit of confusion at Apple on this.  If you follow a search result “iTunes + download”, you get to a page that offers the option of going to the MS Store, or of downloading from Apple.  I have had odd results in the past with Apple files from the Store, so preferred to take it direct from Apple.  That link still gives iTunes version 12.11.3.17, which seems to be about 12 months old.

Aren’t we finding out, belatedly, that London – aka The Laundromat – could be described as a “WiFi Enabled Washing Machine”?

Oscar – thanks, I’m glad that I was not imagining having heard of that study.

AskWoody sounds like a breeze compared with posting on Times Online.  Their comments section rejects or holds up my posts without apparent justification.

Oscar – you say that you have been to all sorts of places that involve time changes, and here you are “in reasonably good shape”.  I have done some of the same travelling that you describe, and am myself still “in reasonably good shape” in the second half of my seventies.

However, it put me in mind of a medical study on professional aircrew of which I heard reports.  It compared one cohort that flew regularly from east-to-west with another that flew from north-to-south.  Of course, aircrew work on quite short turnrounds, perhaps only two or so nights before returning.  The differences were observed and reported, and it was the north-to-south cohort whose long-term health suffered less.

I have no idea how to track down the original paper, so you may have to take this on trust from me.

Another option, if you live in the UK, is Disasters Emergency Committee, who have appealed on behalf of fifteen major aid charities.  As a UK taxpayer, you may benefit from Gift Aid, and also, the UK Government will match your donation, pound-for-pound.

Do you think that the Microsoft Monolith takes account of feedback?
