Re: Retrovol by Pizzagood
@ PipzDex:- Retrovol is THE most configurable volume control I've ever come across, despite that it doesn't look anything special. But once you start playing around with some of the settings, well..... I like my 'unlit' section yellow, and the 'lit' section red. I have it usually between half and tw...

Re: Dissenter Browser 64bit
I was going to recommend this. But, just like Moonchild Production's "Basilisk" browser, although Widevine is installed by default.....it's non-functional. A bit of research reveals that the Dissenter browser is forked from a very early version of Brave. Older releases of Brave had the sam...

Will:- Agree with Terry. Thanks for the info. I confess, I hadn't really thought things that far through, i.e., with regard to GMail, etc. For my own use-case, it makes no difference; although I've had a GMail a/c for many, many years, I never access it via the web-interface.....always via Thunderbi...

Re: is Vivaldi. is good
I use Vivaldi for gmail. Runs as a sfs. Loads emails FAST. It leaves other browsers I have tried in the dust, and I find it absolutely indispensable for using gmail on older, slower machines. OK, everything needs to be saved as a spot download, but thats a small inconvenience. Mind, I also use Pale...

How did you capture the boot process Mike? By external camera? Surprisingly clear and no parallax/lensing. Hiya, GG. Nice to see ya here.....
