New computer arrived yesterday. HP with useless keyboard and mouse included. I lost everything on my C drive, but fortunately all of my coin stuff was on the D.
Evidently Windows 11 is designed to thwart you if you try to use older versions of Office or any browser other than Edge. I reinstalled my Office 2003 (hey, don't laugh - the Word and Excel are all I need now) yet the programs have little functionality. I can open files by clicking on them in File Explorer and save them, but selecting either "Save As" or "Open" causes the program to freeze at the dialog box.
I had to stop using AVG Secure Browser because it is now sooooooo slooooooow. Coin images on the CCF take over a minute each to display. Firefox is better. I probably should just accept the fact that I will be assimilated and use Edge. But I do draw the line at paying a subscription fee for the latest version of Office.
At least my Photoshop 6.0 still works!

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
