Don't like Windows 7

Windows 7 is not working for me as well as XP. I didn't like Vista either. Didn't realize how much I didn't like 7 until my main machine's power supply quit on me last week. It was just so much more comfortable and user friendly. I run windows 7 on two machines and XP on three others. Why so many you ask? I just enjoy building and repairing computers, I reply. Anyway, I have a new power supply coming and hope it fixes the problem. That, however is only temporary as I know that Microsoft will be lifting support for XP one of these days. Guess I am crossing that bridge now whether I want to or not. 
Oh Well! Things Change, S--t happens there is nothing you can do about it. O-F-P-S! (Oh for Pete's Sake).

Cars I remember from the 1950s

American cars of the 1950s. I was 8 to 18 years old in the 50s and remember these cars.. each one normally had three models so you had a basic model, upgraded and luxury. two door, four door, convertible and station wagon. Cars with the center post between front and back were sedans and those with no center post were called hard-tops. In the mid 50s we saw the Corvette and Thunderbird.

Free Will

The Lord gave us free will, but our government doesn't trust us with it. Truthfully, I believe it's a way for our leaders to find employment for family and friends. Establishing agencies and commissions to regulate our safety and well being. They don't think we are intelligent enough to look after ourselves. Interesting that it is mandatory that we wear seat belts but my motorcycle doesn't have one or an air bag either, although there are some large bikes equipped with them.
It's a government of the people, by the people and for the people who work for the government.
