@matigo The catheter eventually has to be removed and you really don't want that. It hurts and makes you want to barf. (Sadly, I have experience with that)
@matigo They install a catheter and park your wheelchair by the window if you make arcnet jokes,
I find it somewhat depressing that no one uses the Nullsoft Installer and responded with my earlier complaint and said, "No, Tom, there's a better way now."
Resigns self to pouring over docs again. Grudgingly because it seems every time I touch that script, something breaks.
@jws C# is one of the bright spots where Microsoft is concerned.

"A screen popped up and said it was from Microsoft and to call them"
Don't call them. It's phishing.
"Well, I called them and they said they were from Microsoft"
Did you expect them to say, "No, this is Chuck. Gimmie your credit card number"? Of course they said they were from Microsoft. What information did you give them?
..silence..
Can I please go home now? Please?
If anyone has used a more recent version of NullSoft's Installer, please tell me they have a more elegant means of comparing results of GetDLLVersion than what I had to use before…
Function VersionCompare
!define VersionCompare `!insertmacro VersionCompareCall`
!macro VersionCompareCall VER1 VER2 RESULT
Push `${VER1}`
Push `${VER2}`
Call VersionCompare
Pop ${RESULT}

FunctionEnd@matigo That's something, thankfully, I don't have to deal with (Multiple Language support)

@matigo Some of us were dumb/stubborn enough to rewrite the platform. I share your misgivings about OSX's current course. Windows 10 has made Windows somewhat tolerable but I still grit my teeth when I use it.
// @streakmachine
@matigo The phone calls of people sheepishly skirting the issue and never outright asking are priceless.
