Not in any crossword I have ever done in the last 50+ years. And I never use Google to solve clues.

I think this is part of the difficulty, when there are clues within clues within clues... for me at least, it just becomes too many layers of abstraction.

You're lucky I got that. Most of the time when I want a word my brain refuses to handle the request in less than 24 hours.

Who? As a European, never heard of her. What she to you?

She was a famous singer in the 70's. She was also a feminist icon.

I saw. Doesn't ring a bell.

Still doesn't ring a bell.

Sounds like more political correctness, hardly sincere.

Oh dear, you act is if you new here. Trollslayer left due to me.
And no, never heard of your Helen. If you post something like that, please include the "why"; if you don't you just trolling and showing off how PC you are.

Who cares if YOU never heard of her? I didn't post that for YOU.
If something doesn't involve you, then you don't have to respond to it.

You're both right and wrong. It's a splendid microcosm of internet communication dysfunction. Thank you both for the posts.

I guess you posted it for me. I was a young lad when her famous song came out. It is still an ear worm.

I really liked her, and just about wore out my copy of her I Am Woman LP.

And the new Surface is no exception.
I've got VS installed, Fusion 360 is on, but Office, PaintShop Pro yet to go.
But ... I have half a dozen little apps I wrote, and rely on every day (my CP "Boilerplate" app for example). And they all use my SQL server for their data.
But ... I planned ahead! The first app I put on the Surface and ran just said "The database connection was not configured. Did you run the StorageClassMaintenance application, and set the "Connection" property to something like 'Data Source=GRDESK\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog={0};User Id=XXX;Password=XXX'?"
Run it, set it, and all my little apps work perfectly!
The only oddity was the first major C# app I wrote, and (despite promising myself I will) I still haven't rewritten. So it needs .NET 3.5 ... and I'm impressed with Win10: I tried to run the app, Windows says "It needs 3.5, do you want me to get it and install it for you?" Say yes, and bang - it works. Nice.

In my opinion, the worst is reinstalling the OS first of all to get rid of all the cr*p that is normally preinstalled with it...

Getting rid of Office 365 was a pain, yes. Haven't found anything else yet - but the day is yet young!

Just noticed that you mentioned Paintshop Pro. I've always had problems reinstalling that on a new computer, because normally, the installation doesn't allow installing it on more than one computer, and I've never found any way to deactivate the license on the old one.
So normally, I have to either buy a new license (despite the fact that I already have 5 or more) or crack the sh*t...

I just installed it, and it worked.
I have the same as you though - a Corel "Registered Products" page that is far, far too long!
I appear to have three different licenses for PsP X9 for example - and no idea why I'd want more than two ...

If you keep buying licenses you're removing any incentive for them to provide you with a proper procedure to move licenses between machines.

The Surface line is pretty clean. Try a Dell if you want to see crapware.
