Meh - an IT journo who can't manage a 1809 install and runs entry-level kit despite apparently being in the business since 1996?

Decent OS wouldn't force you through those hoops.

Just to avoid any doubt, you guys didn’t interpret my post as a full endorsement did you? Should I have placed a rolling eyes sigh of irony emogythingamybob at the end?
