I edited it to Busch as I had simply forgotten what year it was also insert that saving Private Ryan getting older gif here however I would personally state that even if it was President Obama given that it’s been 12 years since he stopped at office that still quite a long time for a machine to be running just like I did the day it was opened

T520 and X220 still in use here. They both have SSDs and maxed out ram and are used for nothing other than web browsing in a few uploads online. Youtube is becoming a problem given the high bit rate but you can still watch YouTube on both of them easily keeping it at 7:20 P. Both machines will go until well beyond my bones have crumbled into dust, have more clever features and cool ways of getting things done than any modern machine I’ve ever seen, and not for nothing but both of them have fallen down the stairs multiple times been sat on spilt milk even on one of them(that cleanup sucked) and have both been around since bush was in office but are both still trucking!

Reply to comment by Illustrathor in Rant: All single player games should have an easy way to quit to desktop and save as-is. Too many games require exiting to main menu and then quitting from there -- with an obligatory "ARE YOU SURE - YOUR PROGRESS WILL NOT BE SAVED" warning. Save the progress and quit -- it's not that hard. by BBorNot

Did you read the post? The problem at hand is not being prepared to turn off a gd game. It’s the fact that there are not one but multiple steps to take in order to fully back out of the game and it’s rather frustrating/annoying especially when you’re in a rush or caught in a bind. For example, Microsoft flight simulator the exception of Ctrl alt delete you cannot successfully exit the game until you back out of the session your in and exit to the main menu first, which then allows you to exit to the desktop. It shouldn’t require multiple steps, because believe it or not these games take time to load, said menus, and that’s the problem. If I could exit to the main menu in under five seconds, and then click a button and exit the game with another few seconds it wouldn’t matter, but these games requiring you to go to menu after menu after menu, which takes time is a little ridiculous.
