Not sure if this is best place for this, but got a couple pricing files for our company that we use to upload into our software. Most recent update came from vendor differently. We spent a bunch of time literally fixing line-by-line to make as needed last year with similar problem but we...

Considering today's tech, and considering what my MIL does w/ her laptop....100%. (If thieves want a template for unicorns over rainbows with the prettiest happy birthday font they've ever seen.....it's all theirs!) :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::sweatsmile::sweatsmile:

Indeed! I will....either that or ETCH the password into the palmrest of her laptop! LOL!!!

Hmmm....maybe...although I'm not a linux guy so I'd probably need a tutorial. Still kinda disappointed that Kon Boot isn't doing what it says it can (mind you they've updated even to Win10 but they haven't indicated my problem which I think they should at least concede to being a possibility in...

UPDATE: So 2nd time around there's still a lot blacked out (the account is missing things like desktop wallpaper, certain options etc.) .....BUT.....2nd try Kon Boot acted a little bit different and this time I was able to create a new user (adminstrator level of course) and am just waiting...

So....Mother in Law's laptop. She forgets her password. I can login using Kon Boot and that's great but I noticed that Win8 mentioned....."You've been given a temporary profile and cannot change files". Sure enough....doesn't appear I can change/reset password. I supposed I could get...

That is impressive in the current market climate! Any fine print for the amount of swing they can put on that 3% ?? (or is that seriously 'locked'?) EDIT: Ok, I just read their "Tier" system notes. So could definitely play that game or a while, but then ultimately end up down at a lower...

With rates at all time lows.....you'll do well to find a good price (or at least "value") for the property you're after. This will ensure a wise decision. I know that's often easier said than done, but sounds like you've got the right mindset! To whoever said student loan forgiveness....yes...

Bob.....Indeed!! I used to come here feverishly plowing through computer hardware endeavors....and now, I'm typing on a laptop I bought right here in the FS/FT forum about 8 years ago and not giving a rat's ass because how I concern myself with how to get out of the rat race and make wise...

Not an HSA fan but not entirely opposed. We have good medical/dental as wife works for an insurance co., but anything to avoid taxes is attractive to me. ;) And I'm just not a big individual tax guy. I'd buy something so blue chip that I might as well VTSAX anyway & sleep better at night...

And I should address the 401k comments....Already maxed out *and* contribute to my own separate Roth as well. And again.....zero debt. And the money's already at Allied (that's where the CD is) and it's in the HY savings now (and, yes, waaay down at a whopping 0.5%) thus my plight.

Indeed! I actually do hold VTSAX (based on advice here & motley fool from about 20 years ago) where I decided that was a best "long term taxable" investment for the kiddos. (And it has been) I'll have more CD's coming due later & may do more VTSAX. May have some fun with individual stocks...

Thanks for all the replies! (Pot at the local HS sounds like a plan!) :tearsofjoy: But seriously.....muni's sound good (I might give one of Vanguard's bond funds some play). For background....I have no debt (been smart with my $ over the years and no I'm not rich). Small "other" investments...

All your ethereum are belong to us

So.....bank pays nothing...(CD's, savings, etc.) Market's at an all time high (arguably overdue) I'm not a bond guy....but am open to suggestions. Roughly $50K coming maturing out of a CD. Thoughts on where to put it now? TIA
