What Microsoft calls "feature updates" are the problem...the security updates are about the same as always...but there's no way to turn off the other garbage, except to halt everything by putting it on pause...which pauses everything. I'd rather take my chances, and tighten up my security software, than to know that Microsoft will trash it for sure with feature updates that are between 30 and 50 gig each....that's ridiculous to keep pouring that into a computer. I'm sure if I had a tremendously huge drive with over 32 gig of ram, it probably would complete the update without a hitch...but that kitchen drive was intended for just surfing, so it is small. This is the second huge update that has failed, and this time it's not completing the boot process. So, I don't blame you for seeking other operating systems. The Chrome notebooks looked appealing to me, but then I'd run into the issue of incompatibility with my favorite software. And where the workstation bind occurs is...3D software is increasingly requiring online access for perpetual activation...so it pulls you toward the internet when you'd just as soon work offline most of the time, and just go online if you have a specific reason to, like snail-slow dial-up used to be, only with broadband speed.

Hey Linda...feeling better this morning I hope?
And hey Janet
Hey Sky! Any chance you could do a morph for Pitterbill of John Cleese?
Is that Hein?

Haha...hey Linda...hope you're doing well today. I've been searching around for a box with a hinged lid for Thing, but so far I haven't found anything....will post a link here if I do. I'll leave Fester, Lerch, and Gomez alone, in case you want to try doing them. I figured you weren't going to want to try Kousin It in the hair room...haha.

Hey Janet...I just googled John Cleese to study the face a bit....it might be possible...the face is long, but more squared, so that's the part that I'm not sure about. Will give it a try 
And yes, Linda used Hein for Trump. Hein has the square face build, just less versatile in the subtle tweaks. The trick with Hein is using props, or something that leaves a convincing impression.
DAZ has something for Genesis 8 that allows for super detailing of faces, on sale in fact.

Okay, sure, I'll test them....so you're saying you don't need me to try to do Cleese, or you do?
I'm attaching Marty Doc to this post in case anyone's interested...it's just the zipped pose/morph in a Pitterbill folder, not the full Runtime folder. Just drop it in with the rest of your Pitterbill faces.
