No. But very familiar with it. Aside from the battery issues, its quite nice if you don't mind waiting 6 months for an OS update.

Well, Samsung is recalling all Note 7 phones. It will cost them as much as USD 1 Billion. Despite Galaxy S# series constantly taking the limelight, the Note # series is their actual flagship phone. The S-Pen is a load of fun. I played with a friends Note 4 sometime back. Unlocked versions are just beyond my budget sadly.

Do you suggest Linux or Mac? For the former, you'll have great deal of time to find drivers and apps. For the later, you'll need a new computer.

So long as you have a MAC OS X license you should be able to dual boot it with Windows just like you would dual boot any other OS with Windows.

Haven't installed Linux on any of my machines but I tried it in a Virtual machine and it was fine without any special drivers. Same with when I put a CD in an old machine I had access to and clicked "Try Ubuntu" (rather than installing it). Worked fine.

I don't mind Windows 10, but I prefer Windows 7 due to having more flexibility with what I can do with my PC, plus Windows 10 has higher graphic requirements, so gaming and compatibility issues crop up.

Whenever I get a new machine with Windows 10, I always dual boot it with Windows 7.

What's wrong with Facebook? I'm using Micro$oft Edge which should be the newest browser by Micro$oft. Facebook suggests me to switch to its basic site or update my browser. When I click [Update your browser], it suggests me Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Does it consider M$ Edge as inappropriate browser or not a recognized one?

Microsoft Edge may be Representing Itself as Internet Explorer and that is what Facebook sees. That is a setting you can change, I believe.

A couple of ideas...

It may be that they changed hosts or IPs and your DNS has not caught up (assuming you are using the same machine at home) or your DNS cache got too old. I keep my DNS at home pointed to Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). If you don't know how to change that, let me know.

Another thing to try (if this is a laptop) is take it to a coffee shop or someplace and try it from there.

Lastly, it looks like they have a mobile enabled (or new) site that is at

. See if that works instead.

Well now sina military channel is back to normal..yahoo!..

Now on to other things...last week I bought another Roku. It is the 4th one I've purchased. They are great for streaming... Well now I plugged that bad boy in my 32" Vizio Tv that I use for a computer monitor and switch over to HDMI 1 for the computer and there was no picture just snow..I rebooted everything and it was still the same . I unplugged the Roku and all was well in a couple of minutes. I plugged the Roku back in and the snowstorm returned. That Roku is causing some interference somewhere... Oh well, guess I gotta go to Wal-Mart and get my money back....and I'm happy nothing got fried.
