Bring Back the Freebies

Windows 10 -- blows.  Why do they take away all the good things we learned first in Win-XP then moved on to Win-7 Pro.  Tonight I wanted to make a DVD slide show of photos.  In Win-7 there was the Windows DVD Maker.  Windows 10 has none of these fun apps/features.  I tried Windows Movie Maker - which would be great if I were sharing these with computer savvy folks - but I'm trying to make a simple DVD of the photos I take to send to my 78 year old mother.   Sheesh.

So now it's off to find a program that will do this for me simply.  I think I'm going to try to find something by Nero.  I used them ages ago with Win-XP and miss that program immensely.  I got used to Windows DVD Maker by default, given that it was free.

*SMH*  I know that Progress equals Change for some people,
but do you really have to change every little thing???

It's no wonder that I don't use my computer to do what I used to do not so many years ago.  It wasn't uncommon for me to spend 4-6 hours a day using my computer as a tool for some quality of life.  But now?  There are many days I don't even turn the thing on.  That's pretty sad.  Altho, I think the little "computer" I carry in my pocket -- I call it a phone -- costs more than the entire desktop unit I'm currently using.   lol

Technology.  Progress.  Change.
Not all it's cracked up to be.
