  So Microsoft made a laptop - Surface Pro 4 / Surface Book

  by Simon in

  microsoft definitely seem to be undergoing a revival and are coming out with some cool tech.

  it's good to see them turning things around and keeping apple honest.. the holo-lens looks fantastic - much better than full vr headsets by providing augmented reality instead (imagine 3d minecraft projected on a table or aliens running round your living room to shoot at).. more practical though is the update to the surface tablet and the surprise release, the surface book laptop / tablet.

  yeah, it's confusing - one is a tablet that becomes a laptop and the other is a laptop that becomes a tablet.. i promised our eldest a laptop for his high-school graduation and to use now he's starting university and took him to the apple store a few months ago but the macbooks i was leaning towards weren't available at the time.

  My gripe about Microsoft is, if you buy a new computer you can have the latest edition of Microsoft Office loaded on to it of course, it cost $89, but Microsoft will now charge you yearly to use Microsoft Office, don't they have enough money ? I'm glad I still have the version of Office I got when I purchased my laptop in either 2006 or 2007, I recently had new hard drive installed which sets it back to brand new, so I just had my old version of Office loaded on again. If I buy a new laptop I'm going to use my old version for sure instead of paying Microsoft 90 dollars a year, plus you have to pay for Norton Security as well !

  I noticed that the latest versions of Samsung tablets now have Microsoft Office loaded on to them. wonder if you'll get a yearly charge for it being on a tablet as well ?

  We're not trying to convert you

  recently i saw a link to an article from the st. petersburg times (one of these links on the side of this forum to sometimes old articles).

  it was an article about jws and their preaching work.

  imo, middle to favorable.. but the one thing was from a door where the jws are saying they're not here to convert anyone, they just want to share a scripture.. what sort of bs is this?

  My mother said that at every door that was opened that she knocked on . . .so obviously the lies start even before someone even decides to start studying or not !

  Witnesses - Ever Wondered Why You're So Tired After Assemblies/Meetings?

  by The Searcher in

  2. beliefs

  recently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!

  why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?

  no, it wasn't satan.

  The last Circuit Assembly I attended was at Shea Stadium, right next to LaGuardia Airport, so those planes going overhead every few minutes was enough to wake you up. Not a good place to try to catch a nap.

  I have J-Dar too, I'm not 100 per cent at it, more like 90.

  Someone mentioned a Kingdom smile, i call it the Jesus/cult smile, after you talk to some for a while they usually have that Jesus smile on their face, and it's not just JWs, any other Cult, like the one the Duggars belong to and many others. After I've heard some folks in other folks talk and they tell a story and then Jesus comes into it they usually have that smile on their face.

  SecretSlaveClass asked if there are any trolleys in New York? There are too many carts in New York City !!

  In some subway stations there's two and three in the same station right across from each other.

  at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.

  evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.

  it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

  Just ask them to explain the scripture that says "no man knows the day nor hour".

  Ask them if they believe that scripture, and they always says yes, then ask why do the Dubs always act like the Big A is just around the corner.

  when i was working in a shipping company, captain invited me to his house for his wedding anniversary.

  there i was attracted to his father (aged around 80) who seemed to be very healthy.

  with me he became very comfortable, and talkative.

  Hard to believe that breathing through your anus will make you feel energized.
