Will anyone touch on the segement of population that is elderly and has memory issues? The constant chages taking place on format and user commands is changing almost every time an upgrade is done. There appears to not be able to reject these updates prior to downloading them. Perhaps older people just have no place in the ” User Friendly” era of computers.
