But they were actually waving at another person, so in order to get out of the awkward situation I kept my hand up and a taxi pulled over and drove me to the airport.
I am now in Poland starting a new life.

That is even worse than the Londener who booked a cheap flight to Sydney Australia and ended up in Sydney Canada!

Portland Maine or Oregon?

Jerusalem, Israel or Jerusalem, New Zealand?

Line 4 was a mistake! I forgot to use a letter I knew should be there and reused one I knew was wrong!

Think of it... You can not question a computer (hardware or software), so you will need either the developer (and it may be a big problem, especially for open-source), or some 'expert'... Now when both sides bring their 'expert' into the play the court will be lost for decades... A perfect solution for lawyers to secure income for until the end of all lawsuits...

So, I know many of you know about my eye-rolling rants from these two companies and their BS code. Preface - I'm in the middle of upgrading MS Teams from the free one being retired to the free one that is now available. Yeah, I'm not making this up. We'll get to that in a moment.
So, HP printers. 10 years ago or pay the big bucks, you're okay. Small home office you're screwed, etc. Not going to beat a dead horse. In the past 3 months, I've given my HP laser away (daughter could not make it work - I told her to toss it in the trash), bought a brother laser that sit's in the corner and works, tossed in the trash an HP inkjet that it was that way or the wife was looking for a shotgun. Happy with the new non-HP inkjet.
So I'm trying to figure out if MS screwed the install for the new Teams (they desperately want me to pay $50/year so they are making it hard), and in add/remove programs I find HP program after program that got installed when I tried to use their printers. smtp this, ftp that. I'm still uninstalling.... there is a special place for these companies.
Which reminds me - let's get back to MS. And Teams, and all the warnings about how Teams will be discontinued - click here to elephant up your computer. So I did based on some apologist's recommendation for me to stop my $itching and just go to the new free teams:
- is the old teams removed? no idea.
- what about the paid corporate teams that my cusomter supplied? no idea.
- did the new install remove then update to the new Teams? no idea.
- etc.
I'll cypher this, and I've made a lot of $$ using MS products over the last 20 years, but stop being an apologist for this crap. If you kick a turd, you're probably going to smell something...
y'all have a nice weekend. Looks like dry weather in Atlanta, so I can finally cut the grass. Want to know how I boot my JD lawn tracter? I turn the #$%#^^ key. Now, what's funny is JD is trying the same MS $$llcrap with their farm equipment.

Googling seems to suggest you can buy a 4004 CPU chip still.
You can get a Altair clone. Power on and off switch right there in the front. Simple switches to run the rest of it.
