Asylum responded to a discussion called Technophobia...anyone? in computer.
2 weeks ago
I can understand your surprise at seeing old people who are familiar with what are usually considered to be modern technology, but age is certainly not a barrier. I am 60 years old and quite in love with my computer, which I use for a myriad of things and would feel lost without it. I also have a mobile phone which I consider to be essential nowadays. I know many people of my age that are total...

Asylum responded to a discussion called What's your opinion of flying? in travel.
2 weeks ago
I really enjoy flying and always look forward to it. I know many people who are wary of flying, although I have never understood the concern. My first flight was from England to Italy many years ago and I had no apprehension about it at all. Since then I have flown on numerous occasions and would love the chance to fly more often.

Asylum responded to a discussion called Have you ever travelled alone on a vacation? in questions & answers.

I always travel alone nowadays and enjoy it very much. This years I have been to Morroco, Spain and the Czech Republic alone for holidays, which I have enjoyed very much. I can see the benefit of company and have travelled with friends and the like in the past, but the benefit of travelling alone is the freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want. I can go anywhere and change my mind at any ...

Asylum responded to a discussion called How To Keep My Windows PC Updated? in computer.

The automatic update settings can be changed, as a previous poster has already explained. I agree that it is worthwhile using automatic updates for such a new operating system because features are likely to change quite frequently. You can always go to the Windows Update website and select what you want, but allowing Windows to run this automatically is far easier. You can set Windows Update ...

Congratulations on reaching the 100 post level, the first 100 is always the hardest 100 to reach. I do not think that the earnings system will be affected, but you may fell that earning is easier now because you have become more familiar with the site. Mylot can be a little difficult at first, but once you have chosen a few interests and made a few friends it becomes easier to find the discuss...

Asylum responded to a discussion called What is your take on Windows 7? in computers.
3 weeks ago
Windows Vista was not as bad as the general public tended to suggest. The problems were compatability, which would disappear in time as computers become updated, and the need for greater system resources which has always been the case with a new operating system. As for Windows 7, it is a vast improvement on Vista and should prove to be the best Windows released so far. I started with Windows ...

Asylum responded to a discussion called Arch linux in linux.
2 weeks ago
I have never actually used Arch Linux, although I have no reason to believe that the installation process should be any different from other Linux distributions. I use Ubuntu and have used Mandriva and Xandros in the past, all of which are quite straight forward to install. The process is simply boot from the CD and follow the prompts. Arch Linux does have a decent reputation, which suggests t...

To the best of my knowledge I do not know anyone personally at Mylot. Of course it is not possible to say for certain because there may be several people here that I have met but have either not encountered at Mylot or simply not recognised.

Asylum responded to a discussion called Windows 7 what do you think? in computers.
1 week ago
I have been using Windows 7 ever since the first Beta download became available and I am quite impressed by it. The system has many new features and the integrated programs are of a high standard. With previous operating systems by Microsoft I usually installed third party programs for such tasks as playing videos, recording disks etcetera, whereas with Windows 7 I am very content to use the s...

Asylum responded to a discussion called Until you rate others, your star rating will not improve... in mylot.com.

This certainly sounds like a coincidence to me. It is very unlikely that rating others would have any effect on your own rating because that would give the opportunity to increase your rating without offering any worthwhile discussions or responses.
