FWIW, I’m still running XP media center here. It works, but sometime in the next year I’m going to have to replace it. I’ll likely have to make a clean sweep and replace everything while I’m at it.
Happy Birthday to VistaBill, our Voice of Reason! (On a side note, VB, Halloween IS my birthday. As a small child, I always thought it was great that everyone was coming to our front door, but wondered why my parents were giving all my candy away!)
@SDM.I believe you were correct yesterday, about the strip being out of sequence. Today’s strip seems like it should have been yesterday’s and Vice Versa.
I worked for over 20 years as a typesetter and graphics designer. That was many years ago. When I started out, we used hot lead then paper tape. I ended up working on a large Varityper so I also am quick to notice typos. But for your comments, Vista Bill, I always give a big STET.
Those pain patches are DANGEROUS! When my SIL’s dad was dying, he had those patches and the care they had to take in just disposing of the used ones was unbelievable. They always wore gloves in dealing with them because they are so strong the slightest touch on the “business” side could OD someone who wasn’t used to it.
May need to re-read today’s comments. just to be sure, but I don’t think there was one snarky one in the bunch. Now, THAT’s a birthday tribute to VistaBill!

Measles just can’t stop dealing, not even to ease his pain.

Are those morphine patches? Measles is going to be in a world of hurt if he starts using those.
