All of a sudden, the Game Warden jumped out of the bushes. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods. The Game Warden was hot on his heels. After about a half mile, the young man stopped and stooped over with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath, so the Game Warden finally caught up to him. "Let's see yer fishin' license, Boy!" the Warden gasped. With that, the boy pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license.

Dear Webby, How often and how frequently do I have to reboot my W10 machine? Thanks Nelson Dear Nelson The same as with W7. The fewer times you reboot, the less damage Windows does. If you have MalwareBytes running, then the machine is protected. Just relax. You may have to reboot now and then when you are installing or UNinstalling something. That is enough. Have FUN!
