To verify this, just open up XLN Online Installer, and click the "Advanced" button. Yes, the AD2 files are installed on your computer. The younger generation loves to be watched all the time!Īren't they stored on my computer? Do I need to be connected to the internet to use AD2? George Orwell talked about Big Brother menacingly watching you 24/7 but he never dreamed folks would gladly pay $100/month to be watched. At least I've never joined facebook, the worst idea for privacy ever but my kids are on it all the time. But I think I've left myself even more open to hacking, lack of privacy, etc. Fortunately, now I have the drums back and I've stopped the annoying pop-ups on my e-mail account. I finally succumbed and I suspect somehow that pushing of a button sent some kind of "kill AD2" drums to XLN.
I've been using a Windows 10 multi-email program for a few years that makes it easy to handle multiple e-mails in one easy to see program and after the big Windows 10 update a few weeks ago, it started asking me, very annoyingly in a big pop-up, to add my 1 gmail account. Ah, the good-old days.Īctually, I remember 2 days ago I finally allowed Windows to have access to all of my e-mails, in particular, my new gmail e-mail. As I recall, 8.0 was the end of getting disks in the mail, 8.5 was all downloaded. I have a stack of old Cakewalk discs and the 5 disc monster that Cakewalk 8.0 came on. Aren't they stored on my computer? Do I need to be connected to the internet to use AD2? I liked the old days better, you bought programs that came on CD/DVD's and felt like you owned them. I've had the new e-mail address for a few years now and just out-of-the blue, 2 days ago all of my AD2 purchases were gone from my computers. Really? I still don't know why everything just disappeared.
