Re: The advertisings on this forum

Hmmm. I've used the 'Brave' browser since the beginning and I have never had any problems here. https://brave.com/ :)

I do keep the 'Google' browser as a handy second option (only if I think my browser might be an issue, as in 'blocked' content)

Good to know my system works well

Re: Happy Birthday, IBM PC!

I bought mine at a just opened 'IBM Store' in Dec 1981. Cost with a dual-floppy (160kb capacity), mono-chrome monitor, and an IBM dot-matrix printer was $7,100 CAD (6,000 USD).

Thanks for this Axolotl, it didn't work, but it gave me a few ideas. Definitely challenging. :)

HotKey System(Windows only)

Been working and adding to this, because I needed it for a program that I'm working on.. I think it's fairly complete.

Now a Windows Tablet controls the Microscope, and this is much more expensive than the Prototype :-(. My dream is to give the basic research for cancer a very cheap Instrument, where they can make more experiments at the same Time, because the Hardware is cheap.

The code above doesn't work, for me it always displays: Country (code)=1 even though I'm in Mexico

I fired up Okla Speed test, changed my VPN to Argentina, ran a speed test to be sure I was actually in ...
