You know, frankly, I'm getting sick (literally, I am sick right now) and tired (also literally) of your MS bashing! Keep in mind that they're just another software company doing their best to make excellent products at reasonable (but not ridiculously low) prices. Why are they keeping their prices so high? They want to make room for competition. They are NOT a monopoly!

I hope you guys take this into consideration..

--It's not funny.

Ban me if you want.. You'll only make yourselves more ignorant.

Also, I'm not one to disagree with most "jokes". I laugh when there's reason to laugh.

Now who wants to start poking fun at Linux? :D

    • You might want to update to 1TB drive.  They are not very expensive these days, there are plenty of options - simple look I would think you could find a 1TB ssd or even nvme somewhere between 50 and 100 bucks. when I have moved to larger ssds in laptop in the past, you can just connect the drive via usb - image.  Then take the old drive out, put in the new drive and there you go..  If your concerned about how much space you have left this prob your best bet..   
    • I see! Wasn’t aware of that. Even though they started off with desktop app for Mac before Windows. Should be on it’s way soon! 🤞
