Re: more win10 stuff
Dimension E510 isn't that bad...Put 4GB RAM in there with any video card and use it as a HTPC.
Tons of old equipment is still usable. A lot of us here even have pre-P4 equipment in use.
Netburst is inefficient, but still plenty usable, especially the Xeon ones.
Sure, a Kia is somewhat reliable and efficient, but I think they're for people who don't care about cars/trucks and don't enjoy driving. For us, it's more of a big deal. Me myself, I want to drive something that I love. Trucks>Cars.
Honestly, I think I have the perfect of both worlds. 96 F150 300 i6, 5 speed, 8 foot bed. It's a full sized truck with a long bed, so I get paid to do dump runs and move people out of their houses. It gets good fuel mileage for a truck. Pure downtown Seattle (About the worst case scenario) I got an average of 15mpg. I just took a 130 mile road trip, and while driving a little bit slower than usual, I got 22.3 mpg with the A/C running the whole time. As for reliability, it's a straight 6. Who needs a car?
TC, love your Dodge dually. Those things are absolute beasts.

I actually quite like windows 10, as its much faster and takes better advantage of my computer (overclocked Pentium g3258, MSI z97m-g43, 16 GB RAM) the issue I had with win 7 was that a certain set of updates from micropeni-soft would destroy my boot partition and render win7 unbootable, combined with my performance issues with win7 made me want 10 badly. As unfortunately , I use cad cam packages that only work in windows. ( I would swith to Linux in a heartbeat if I could)
