Grrargh!

Postby emfrat » Sun Nov 16, 2025 8:31 pm

In my playroom on Monday last there were 4 computers.
The flying machine is called Tarquin and does not go out on the 'Net unless I say so. It displays on my big screen via HDMI 1
The main machine is NovoBeast, which displays on HDMI 2. Both of these are Win 10x64 machines.
Tiffney is a Win7x64 SFF Dell machine.
MiniBeast was also a Win7x64 SFF machine. It was falling over too often, so I replaced it with Minivo, a Win11 creature.
After a mighty battle to get my machine as I want it, not how MS think I should have it, I now have:
Minivo, which is aware of Novobeast and Tiffney.
Tiffney which is not aware of Minivo, only Novobeast and itself.
And the same for Novobeast. (edit: only Tiffney and itself)
Is it any wonder I am going a bit grey?

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Mike happy to hear your machine is as you want it, not how MS think you should have it.

In my list of connected devices below,could you advise on a better name for "P" please.

Ah! The vege patch, then :lol: I had wondered.
I'd say Tarquin tops what you could call a simbox.

:D It's predecessors were SuperBeast and before that, BigBeast. So a standalone flying machine could only be called Tarquin. He's not alone, though.
