I am using Microsoft Office 2003 and would like to upgrade. But, I am not interested in the versions that insist on using the cloud. I also only need Word and Excel. Is there such a product? And, if so, what is the least expensive way to go? I also prefer to buy it outright, not pay a monthly...

Thanks Bigddybn. I am one from the old school of when you purchase a product, you purchase the product, not rent for a year. And while I appreciate the thought of One Drive for some, I have nearly 4TB of storage I can access through my NAS.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, my wife would freak out at trying something different. The upgrading of Word would be enough to flip her out. She's still working as a freelance proofreader and copy writer and is basically the one who will use it the most.

I have a desktop and two laptops with Word 2003 installed (I know no support). I would like to upgrade to something where I do not need to use the "cloud" to store or use the functions. Expense is a factor, as well.

Is there any way to increase the reception on the Galaxy S7?

So, I guess that's a "no"

Anyone using Samsung Pay or an equivalent? I use Samsung Pay and it shows that it gives your credit card a different number when being used.

Lots of fun stuff here. I started in radio in the 60s on an AM station. For the first few years, I had no idea what stereo was except at certain friends' houses. When the Beatles opened the door to experimental stereo, I got excited. I can't listen to Chicago in mono, it just hurts my senses...

It's amazing how many retailers in the US have not moved to the chip. There are even fewer who are accepting Samsung Pay or other phone type payments.

First time we ran into the "chip issue" was in France. Never heard of them before this. We were at a fine restaurant and the waitress was trying to insert my non-chip card and could not make it work until a gentleman at a neighboring table told her she needed to swipe instead. lightbulb.

The Wisconsin DOT has electronic signs on the major roads that read, "DRIVE NOW. CATCH POKEMON LATER" all over the state.

Any thoughts on the Samsung PM971-NVMe SSD? 512 in a postage stamp? I still remember 512 for everything in your desktop.

Is there some benefit for offsite storage other than size?

Thanks for the tips.

Please excuse the new kid on the block. I have heard the SSDs may not be as reliable as one would hope. I would love to have the speed, but I have some questions. Can I transfer my Windows 10 to a new SSD? How long can I expect the SSD to be reliable (I am on my 7 days a week for about five...

Thanks for the quick reply. I am not really being paranoid, just curious. The difficulty is that I am not certain I would know just what to look for.

I am currently running Malwarebytes on all my PCs. Is it necessary to add Spybot Search and Destroy?

I agree with the sentiments expressed by FLECOM. If one has enough hard drives and an NAS, why would one want to use the cloud and trust data to someone else's computer.

How can I tell if I am being watched by Microsoft?

Wow, 1968. I got my first Epson CP/M based computer in 1982/3 and couldn't do this. The IBM XT I bought later wasn't much better. It just amazes me how the cost has gone down and the capabilities have gone up.
