If you want to spend ages on hold every month, only to speak to a rep who can’t understand what your problem is. I was astonished by Synchrony’s lack of interest and, ultimately, their admission that there’s no one to speak to about Web accessibility.

You might consider Amazon’s Visa card. The only accessibility issue there for me was the combo boxes. As I recall, the solution is not to press enter at the combo box, which I normally do, but just alt-down arrow. Then arrow down to your choice, leave it selected, then press the PC cursor twice quickly to exit.
Whatever you do, avoid any credit card issued by Synchrony Bank. Its statements are completely inaccessible. Unfortunately, it’s the bank PayPal uses. PayPal itself is fine.

Re: Outlook365?
Leo
Hi Billy, I believe you just can’t pay a subscription only for Outlook 365. You basically subscribe to Microsoft 365, and you can use a bunch of apps, included Outlook. Why don’t you just try it out? I’m pretty sure Microsoft gives a 1-month free trial. I can tell you from my experience that the most difficult part to use Outlook is probably the learning curve if you have never used it before. There are many personal settings that I would not like to loose, but I tell you, I will probably never come back to Thunderbird.
Best, Leo Bado.

Are they just images on web pages? If so, can you give one or two website addresses as examples? Whether you can even save them depends on whether the website creator has allowed this, there are websites where you can't save images. If you can it can be sometimes hit and miss, but generally speaking you would have to be on the image, then press Shift + F10 and see if there is an option called "Save Picture".

I just tried this by going to that website and opening an article about Soyuz 1. At the end of the article is a Photo Gallery and I clicked on the first picture which is labelled "Soyuz 1 crash site". After the image opens I press Shift + F10 and the first open said "Open Image in New Tab" and the second was "Save Image As".

Re: What program is best when it comes to making a system image?
Chris Hill
Oh yes it can. File permissions are found in the file system, and if the owner doesn't have permission to access the file, heaven only knows what would happen. I ran into this when trying to remove a pin from a win 10 machine, I had to go into the file system and change permissions before I could do what I needed.

Things aren't as simple as they used to be. There are a lot of ways to make a system image, the question is how much time are you willing to trade to save a little money. CH

Re: What program is best when it comes to making a system image?
Glenn / Lenny
Well you cannot zip any version of windows while in that operating system.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I have windows 10 in a virtual install on my windows 7, so I can launch windows 10 from within windows 7. If I want to backup or restore windows 10, I can copy the virtual file that it was installed into. In backing up my C drive, or the VmWare folder in my user profile, I can copy all virtual operating systems easily. Using virtual operating systems are the way computers are going, especially in the corporate world, because absolutely no virus can migrate out of the virtual version into the host operating system. So really the best and easiest solution for folks, in my opinion, is to install any operating system, 7, 8, or 10, and then install VmWare, and then install windows 10, and/or 7, 8, or even Linux in a virtual session. Then you can copy the VmWare version, and have a clean copy so if the VmWare version gets corrupt, just delete it and copy back the saved VmWare copy and reopen it good as new. Glenn
