That's only true if you never bring a USB thumb drive from another machine and plug it into it. If the other machine is infected, then yours will be, too. Also, if it's on a WiFi network that's connected to the internet then it can get infected even if it never connects to the internet itself. Tom L Cui bono? |

I agree and keep two XP boxes running still here. One is an old Frankin-HP made up of 2 others someone was throwing out (tape still holds the front cover on nicely). ![]() Some of my older guitar gear uses midi and XP has been the most compatible for the older stuff. I have Free42 for the phone but never thought about the XP version (usually just grabbed a physical calc). The internet way back machine is a way to get the older version. Thanks to the OP for putting it on my radar. Bill |

The internet way back machine is a way to get the older version. Hi Michael, I found a copy using the Internet Way Back Machine. It archives web sites and I got a one that way by going back in time. I really like Free42. Being a 15c/11c user for decades those new 42s are quite nice. ![]() Thank you for the offer! Bill |

I haven't had the chance to run it yet as I am battling with a El Cheapo Prolific clone usb flash cable that is a mighty POS. ![]() -Bill |
