New malware behaves as if it is ransomware but is only fooling you into thinking you can buy your way out while destroying your files permanently.

General Discussion / Enjoy a two-hour motorcycle jaunt along N. California's Usal Road. UD: 6-24-17.

Enjoy a two-hour motorcycle jaunt along California's Usal Road, from near the junction of Highway 1, North of Rockport, all the way until it becomes Chemise Mountain Road at Shelter Cove, along the Lost Coast. Gives you an idea of the setting along the isolated coastline area of Northern California. Set at real time speed, not high speed, it is a genuine enjoyment. YouTube offers a number of such vicarious voyages.

General Discussion / Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. A great video program.
« on: June 15, 2017, 06:48:50 PM »
Here is a video program that I have been so satisfied with. Its flexible and very capable and is completely free of foistware and annoying promotions (but you can donate, if you wish to). Media Player Classic Home Cinema:  Click on "View", "Options", and consider to tune your viewing. Adjust the screen size by dragging a corner with your cursor. Completely free and very reliable.

The spiel:  Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is an extremely light-weight, open source media player for Windows®. Media Player Classic Home Cinema supports all common video and audio file formats available for playback. Based on the original Guliverkli project, Media Player Classic Home Cinema contains a lot of additional features and bug fixes. Plus Media Player Classic Home Cinema is 100% spyware free, there are no advertisements or toolbars.

And don't miss the saga of Big Buck bunny......
