 You might look into one of the "Chrome Book" confusers which use Giggle's
Linux-ish OS. They seem to be less pazuzas than a comparable Winders box. But,
as I do not care for the Google Chrome browser - or, for that matter Firefox as
it is currently implemented .... and the Pale Moon browser will run nicely on
W7 and W8/8.1 it's sort of a no-brainer for me.

I used to be fairly adept. But, it's something that one needs practice with
constantly. And as I am not in the trade any longer things have gotten a bit
rusty. I had to tink around with DOS Box to get Meal Master to run at all.
Seems it wants to do a fresh installation of MM every time I start it. So, I
figured a way to fake it out. But, I've not been able to get the conversion
programme to work for me. It's not a big deal since I will probably always
maintain an XP computer of some nomenclature and I an sneaker-net things. Or go
to the hassle of setting up a network.

Does this make it Hawaiian? Or does that require fresh pineapple?
