NMGLugers, We meet tomorrow, see: https://nmglug.org/  for details. I don't think I have broken anything lately, though I have read a LinuxMint article about reducing writes to ssd. I changed several Firefox settings and I will see if I notice any changes in behavior.
A friend sent this: "Why do astronauts use Linux?"
Answer: "They cannot open Windows in space."
Sure enough.
Maybe see you tomorrow. Thank you, Ted P.
