Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-1-2020: Unlucky for Some.

13th January, 2020.


Right … 

I’m due to have an interview, today.

And?   And, you say … ?

Well, in theory — and as ever in these circumstances — I’m relying on the Job Centre to pay for my train ticket.

I’m a little concerned, having just checked my bank account.

I’ve got a penny.

Rather than the train fare I was expecting.

Understandably?

I’m going to be checking agin, later.

Equally understandably?

I’m just a little concerned.

Oh, JUST as a thought … ?

Microsoft will be ending support for Windows 7, tomorrow.

I know it’s possibly strange.   But can I leave you with a thought, if you’re using it?

You’ll need to replace it: as the ageing OS won’t be getting security updates from tomorrow.

I’d like to make a suggestion, if I may?

I’m going to suggest that — instead of spending money on a new PC, or a Windows 10 license — you back up your machine, copy you important files to a USB stick.

And plonk a version of Linux on there*.

Just to see what a different operating system looks like.

You can always return to Windows, later: if you don’t like what you see.
