[dba-Tech] Fwd: Frustrating

[John Colby]

lol, yes, get rid of windows 11 and if not that then at least get rid of
edge?  I run Windows 10 and have run a script widget which allows me to
select what to uninstall.  I have pretty much uninstalled everything I
could.  I use Firefox or edge almost entirely though I keep Chrome around
for that occasional web site that refuses to run firefox.

The only thing I use Windows for is Office dev which I don't do much of any
more.  I run Linux Mint now and love it.  But of course it does not run
Office and by inference MS Access.
