Because when I graduated college there wasnt any internet. There wasnt any email. In HS I learned BASIC on a Commodore 64. My first computer was a Gateway. Everything Ive learned about computers Ive taught to myself in the small amounts of time I get while running a construction business.
So when I buy a computer and it has Windows loaded thats what I use. I wish I had the expertise to do otherwise.
It: Because you can take a high schooler, on board them a few months, and they can do most of your basic azure tasks. You can't do that with AWS. A retired MCSE can read a book in a week and probably clear 6 azure certs without issue.
Gaming: Xbox One backwards comparability has done wonders for game preservation for an era of games subject to disc rot or being scratched beyond use. Xbox Live is still the best online gaming platform and offers convenience even to single offline players

Foreign cities are so much cleaner than are American democrat run cities.
You think they'd leave all that garbage laying around in Africa? They'd reuse it.
