I think Thunderbird is great. I like how easy it is to move from computer to computer while keeping all the settings and emails.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
UPGRADE YOUR PHONE!
I use both PSP and Photoshop (both fairly old versions), and I tend to stay with PSP unless I need to do something that only Photoshop can do. I learned PSP first, and I got used to being able to zoom in and out using the scroll wheel, which is something Photoshop doesn't do. That said, most of what I need to do is very simple, and often only two-color, so YBMV.

Exactly! After suffering with Outlook for a while I just said screw it and copied over Thunderbird and all is just perfect again.
UPGRADE YOUR PHONE!
Hahahaha! Just after I typed that Brendon walked in the door and I told him I was ready to say goodbye to my iPhone 4. He dropped everything to rush me over to the phone dude before I changed my mind. We have the best phone/device repair guy. Great timing. I now have a shiny iPhone 6s with 64GB for $300! No way I was giving Sprint $750 or whatever for one. He gave me a case and cord too. Used, but you can't tell. Probably someone broke it and traded it in. Phone dude has stacks and stacks of broken phones he takes as trade ins. Fixes them and sells them. So I am now up on IOS 10 like the rest of the world and can turns my lights on and off and all that Smart stuff.
Thanks, DX. I think I probably will install both because I started with PSP and that has served me well.

YAY!
I keep losing internet access, and when I run the diagnostic thing, it says it fixed a "problem with wireless adapter or access point." That means it's my computer, not the wi-fi, right?
Jesse,
A recent Lenovo update screwed up my WiFi whereby it would randomly disconnect the adapter. Uninstalling the new file and installing the appropriate one from the Intel site seems to have solved the problem.
Huh, OK. I'll see what I can find.
Okay, nevermind. I still have the problem.
Basically, my Internet will work up to a certain point, and then will freeze. (This seems to always happen when I'm on Outlook.com but I can't be sure since that is my work email and often open.) When I check the wireless adapter settings, the local network one is enabled (it is usually disabled), but all the wireless ports are disabled. If I try to enable them, the "enabling" pop-up window just hangs there. Eventually I get a blue screen of death and if I restart Internet connection is fine again.
I assume this still has to do with the Intel PROset Wireless install, but other items at the same time are an Intel USB 3.0 driver and a Lenovo System Update. Current trying these steps (I'm on a Windows 7 ThinkPad): [link]
Oh, that is weird. And a different problem from mine (which I haven't had recently, but knock on wood) -- my computer was just telling me there was no wi-fi connection, but the trouble-shooter always fixed it right away.
