I've always recommended Bluehost.com to people.
(If they had no idea/preference, I set them up at Bluehost.)
Decent rates (not exorbitant like some others) and very helpful when needed.
I think they have a website builder... (I don't use builders, I hand code.)

Then there's the hosting company I've been using for 19.5 years:
NibbleNetwrx.com

Or did you mean pre-canned photo display website company?

I agree with this. I have used Bluehost for a long time without any problems. They are reasonable and their uptime is incredible. Their support is very good IMO.

I don't use WordPress but Bluehost has a reputation of being a good place to do WP.

Amazon’s Renewed products

3kids3cats wrote:

I have been on Amazon several times looking for a DSLR camera. I have researched till I am blue in the face, and have narrowed it down to 2 bundles.
One is brand new, and the other is about $100 less and renewed. Is there anyone out there who has experience with the renewed products on Amazon? Are they reliable and in good condition? They SAY the products are in excellent condition and have been tested but you never know.
Thank you in advance.☺️

I am writing this reply on an "HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC" manufactured in 2012 that I purchased renewed from Amazon about 6 years ago. I have replaced the cooling fan and installed an SDD replacing the HDD. My wife has on of the same vintage and I have not had to do anything to it. I know this is anecdotal but it runs 24/7 without any issues.

I also have an MS Surface that I bought renewed from Amazon 4 years ago. It runs flawlessly as well. When it was delivered it looked brand new.

I have had good luck with Amazon renewed products. I cannot vouch for renewed camera equipment, however.

My last thought is to buy the new one if it's only $100 difference.

Don't Neglect to "Resart"

No, you have it backward. Restart attempts to rest... (show quote)

This doesn't jive with my experience. I just did a restart on my win-10 pc. When I did it Chrome, my code editor and my web stack were running. I had to restart all of them. In my experience, only hibernate and wake up result in running programs still running.

A restart clears the operating system completely. A shutdown is exactly that. Anything you are using is still ready when you boot up again.

Are we confusing things with "hibernate." Hibernate saves the state of the OS to disk and shuts down. When it wakes up, the saved state is loaded into memory and the system continues where it left off. Somewhere I read that the fast startup feature is like hibernate in disguise. See here: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup.

I have never used fast startup or hibernate/sleep I want the machine to start from scratch if there is a problem.

I tend to click on Shut Down or Hibernate when I'm finished with a computer. "Restart" is a real shut down because it clears everything nasty out of memory, and you get a clean start.

Yesterday, neither printer would print, and I had the Epson "Connection Checker" stuck on the screen for hours. I couldn't get rid of it. After doing a restart, all is right with the world.

When I do a restart the power light goes out and quickly comes on again. I have always felt that restart was just a convenient of shutdown/power on.

A thought on USB drives

I usually buy USB sticks by the 10 pack. They are very handy for backing up projects I am working on and you can copy music and books to them to play back in the car.

I suspect the innards of an SD card and a USB stick are very similar...

Her Car was Stolen

It was a white BMW that was stolen, and she had "full coverage," whatever that means.

Maybe the insurance co. just didn't like beamers... :)
