southernguy Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 It's good, I run it on a couple of old laptops with Win 7 and one with Windows 10 better than Google Chrome but I still prefer Brave browser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee thanks for the heads up on Bravo. Just downloaded it on my Samsung tablet and it is muy cool y rapido. I'll give it a try for a few days.

johanson Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hey, we can go tech, here, Xena, I used to write Tech Talk for the Guadalajara Reporter for maybe 10 years. Trouble is, I have not yet downloaded the new Windows 11, I'm still using that older Windows 10 operating system that came out in July 2015. It gets worse, when Windows 8 came out so did the Windows Edge Browser (it came out in October-November 2013) and I am still using that old browse (Internet Explorer 11 not Edge. So my tech info is way outdated, But I can make things up So Let's go tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my tech info is way outdated, But I can make things up So Let's go tech I have no problem with tech talk anywhere since no matter where we are living tech is a very important part of our lives. None of us is living without it. However, there are only two TOBs, this one and the other one. This is true no matter which board you are on at the time. The third board is one you seem to have decided to resurrect from its boredom induced coma by pretending it is in the same league as the two TOBs. It is not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Pete, I don´t know any "third board" or what you are talking about. Is that the one next to the Western Union Telegraph office? I know Western Union is looking for "tech" help, maybe you could apply there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you remember David McLaughlin and mexconnect.com/ It was the most active forum here many years ago. Now, we are the most active here. We have many posts each day and Mexconnect got up 2 posts during the last 24 hours and that is a record high in the last several years. Left click on David's name, it will bring back many memories from the past.

Technology is important part of our lives wherever we live. It is different, because all the other items (which I agree with you about) are specific to this area. So relevant to this forum. Otherwise, the lakeside local forum can be used for any topic. How about we start a thread here on favorite books, movies, constellations in the sky, colours, etc? It dilutes the intent and the value of this part of the board. The rare exception is OK, like the humour thread, as everyone seems to like it, & I heartily support and contribute to it as well.

The bulk of MexConnect.com (currently 3700 articles and 8000+ photos) is being relocated to a brand-new platform. We are making good progress with the move and will be launching the new platform within the next few weeks. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 I realize the Mexconnect forum has to go away, but darn I am going to miss going there and very very occasionally, maybe once every month or two, binge able read a post and answer it if someone hadn't already.
