Hans,

The .server, .misc, and .tools, and .marketplace have been the result
of a discussion to split comp.databases. oracle
'Officially' comp.databases. oracle doesn't exist anymore, and many
providers (eg my own) do not distribute it anymore.
One would do better to discourage posting to comp.databases. oracle,
making it finally extinct.

Regards

Sybrand Bakker

I concur. However, some ISPs (including mine) DO carry it and it seems
to be growing lately.

Please note the 'Charter' section in detail!

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
