Hey @Velo Vol, don't worry too much about sun exposure. The damage is cumulative but at your advanced age, most of the damage is already done. So don't worry.
You gotta really protect the young-uns.

I will do my best to incorporate this into my posting. Must somehow also ask about whether I should trade them in for crabon fiber based pedals with Ti spindles.

It's not discussed much but if you look at how sun damage occurs, you are much more vulnerable when you are young. Repeated sunburns are especially bad. Modest gradual sun exposure is probably not so bad.

Aha! Well I'm not a big fan of direct sun nowadays anyway.

I never used Cortana and haven't used Siri. However, WP's keyboard was better laid-out to avoid typos and handled the correction and prediction far better than Apple's, which is so bad I had to turn it off and just live with my own typos. Even the more of them I make with this keyboard are better than the "help" autocorrect attempts. If everyone had the WP keyboard, the autocorrect fail jokes would be much rarer.
I know you know this; that's for everyone else. And venting.

I fired up my old laptop from college a couple of months ago [in order to see if the DVD player still works (it does)]. Aww...Windows XP

All this XP talk reminds me I should get one of those cheap Win7 refurbs from walmart.com before they're all gone.

For example, why would a dog try to chase and/or bite peace-loving @Velo Vol? It doesn't make any sense.

Anyone remember Windows ME? I am told the ME stands for "Mistake Edition."
