Going the e-mail rounds.







An elementary School Teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by fourth graders.

Their insight may surprise you.

While reading, keep in mind that these are fourth-graders, 10-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

Part of me wants to say, "If you want to remove useless programs from your new PC, start with Windows." But I won't. You purchased a Dell, and didn't say you wanted to use Linux, so by inference, Windows is what you want. I have a Windows 11 Pro PC and actually find Edge to be a pretty good browser!

Edge is in no way related to the late, unlamented Internet Exploder... er, Explorer. At their core, virtually all web browsers use one of three "rendering engines,"

• WebKit, developed by Apple from a Linux source and used in the Safari browser and all iOS devices
• Gecko, developed by Mozilla, and used in Firefox and Thunderbird
• Blink, developed by Google, and used in Chrome and its derivatives. Google started with WebKit but built Blink off of it.
• Trident, developed by Microsoft and used in IE. It is now defunct. Edge uses the Blink engine, which puts it on par with Chrome.

All of these browsers are "invasive" in that they track your activity and generate targeted ads based on your browsing history. On a new computer I always download and install the free (and private) Brave Browser and make it the default.
