   But over time older programs no longer work after newer versions come
out.
   Sometimes a program made for an older Windows OS will work with the
newest one, but not all.
  And sometimes the new programs are better than the older version.
  Properly maintained, etc a 1990 car will still operate as it should in
2021.

  Solie can be painfully slow at times.  But I usually just d/l whatever
while doing something else.
  What I hate on some sites are pop-ups telling me to turn turn off my
adblocker programs.  Nope, just click the box to go away and I'm good. :)
  Before I used adblocker programs the screen would be so full of pop-ups I
couldn't read anything, do anything, etc.
