    Congrats Tailor!

    Virtual Qwerty on Windows 7- I don“t use it and I mostly forget about it.

    Thanx ! Yes, I remember using the virtual keyboard some years ago for something.

    Windows... Have Windows 10 with a 7 shell (Classic Shell) on my laptop and wife's desktops (one needs repairing)... Windows 8 and Windows 10 inherently have a grotesque GUI. Still have XP and 3.1 on some legacy boxes, and many varieties of Apple OS on my older Macs/Power Book... and CP/M ( 2.2 if I remember correctly... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M ) on my Osborne 1... http://oldcomputers.net/osborne-1.html

    Last year I got rid of my last desktop. Too heavy to take to repair. Remember Windows 3.2 and specially XP as if it was yesterday. Loved those older programms.

    lol... I was going for a phonetic spelling. Yes, hot summers here; I prefer the Mediterranean climate of the SF Bay Area... fewer extremes. No problem w/ wiki - used google translate (from what I know of French it looks ok): "Chronicle of the city of Rio, carried out through the life of the most disadvantaged "popular layers" (I'm thinking social strata), the film mixes humor and melodrama in the manner of Renato Castellani, introducing episodes to multiple characters as Luciano Emmer did in August 1950 )" Problems w/ censors ?

    Fountain pen... I have one but have never used it. f

    Yes, the film was produced during the years of the military dictatorship and I suppose (I haven“t seen the film) the picture of Brasil, focusing on the slums, wasn“t very flatering.

    A favorite graphic novel movie-Persepolis
