Entry 4th May 2026: Post 1: Been on my mind for a while.
Been on my mind for a while.
I have decided to focus all my efforts on my Ai Art for the time
being. Try as I might I have not been able to find a successful
replacement for my Win7 machine which holds all my Amiga software,
website, Adobe Photoshop and other art and video software. I use
all these things together and without any one of them I struggle
to create web pages. The biggy is Photoshop which to use on the
Win11 machine requires now a monthly sub, which I just refuse to
pay.
The drive on the Win7 machine has been in the red for a long time
and takes anything up to ten minutes to boot up. I have so little
space left I struggle to do anything. The machine already has
three support drives but the power usage is a risk now. The poor
thing is on its last legs.
I have spent hours moving stuff about to keep me active this last
year but today I finally conceded I can squeeze no more blood out
of what I have. What I need is Win7 fresh install or similar on a
new PC which allows me to use the old stand alone software I have.
I have even considered moving back to XP... dunno.
Anyway I have spent way too much time trying to resolve this. I
seriously have an issue with post Win7 installations. Win10 and
worse Win11 are simply too reliant on the internet and I am very
suspicious of the OS and what it does in the background. I am too
old now to reinvent myself by going Linux and Apple stuff is shite.
Sorry, the last computer I would ever use is some Mac-Crap. No
offense.
I just want some down time from this issue and relax a bit. So I
have decided to put the retro onto the back burner until I can
solve my little Win7 conundrum. The Win7 machine has been well
and truthfully hammered since first arriving here in Feb 2011.
That is the longest I have ever had a computer as my main machine.
She really deserves a rest.
Anyhoo I shall be away for a while. It doesn't help with the old
brain cells fading. Kinda looking for a miracle, but hey. Like I
say a new Win7 machine would certainly help or a decision by MS
to revert their OSs by 15 years to a time when they didn't release
such f*ckin shite operating systems. I don't want to live on a
cloud and no I don't use a mobile bleedin phone. There is a better
way and its one where not being constantly pestered by moronic bull
is pure heaven. Win7 gives you that, just. Win10 and Win11 are
way too internet dependent. Its a case of who is in charge. That
would be me.
I'm off now. Time to chill. I do love Ai Art and my Ps5.
