I thought it was an alt account from the beginning Not that I care either way.
Software promotions
Re: Software promotions
I mean you stated above it was your other account before saying it was a joke after billon's reaction so idk. I'm not really concerned either way though, like I said, it was just curious.
Re: Software promotions
Why do you have two accounts?
Re: Software promotions
Absolutely false. I don't have other accounts. Admins can check the logs if they keep them.
Also, I came upon this thread while trying to understand the recent wave of vandalism and one-letter post edits. I could have easily missed it!
I have to say I am a bit dismayed and disheartened that some assumed this is true without bothering to pm me or something!
Lastly, our interests, writing styles, etc couldn't be further apart! I certainly wouldn't bother adding non-portable threads when there are many portable ones to be added.
Come on, guys! I am disappointed!

Re: Software promotions
I am actually curious as to why you would think that. What are those "hints" you saw?

Re: Software promotions
Hey, I don't look a gift horse in the mouth here. You and Rudy were bringing a ton of great data to the site. I'm very sad to see Rudy go.
Re: Software promotions
Yeah, but make sure it is the right horse before you put it to sleep!
Re: Software promotions
While I prefer people just have one account, this is a pretty informal place. Heck, you can have 10 accounts if you're actively improving the site (as you have been). Obviously if someone's causing a problem, that's a different thing.

Re: Software promotions
It's likely as I tend to read more (ie: too much) into such things just based on forum experiences with different handles and accounts elsewhere (both of others and myself). Really the only reason I posted that was simply as Rudy's post just happened to be a culmination of things that had crossed my mind.
Fairly new users, then an uptick in program info posting activity by both after a certain point in the CLI topic, the alternating periods of posting with no direct interactions, enthusiastic tone despite contrasting content, a mention of a relative that might like it here (which now I can't find so might have been a mixup), along with little things I might have done if I had two accounts Wouldn't have considered my own observations as particularly accurate if not for Rudy's post stating it was an alt though.
Pretty much.
Re: Software promotions
We don't see as many software giveaways on the site anymore, but I did see a free Foxit PDF web service available until the end of September:
https://pdfonline.foxitsoftware.com/
I can definitely say there are some solid features only available in for-pay tools.

Re: Limited time discounted commercial software
I'm seeing the same price at least on Office Home and Student over at Amazon so maybe this is a Microsoft promo.

Windows 10 is definitely cheaper than it's listed elsewhere.

These product are versions of 2019
(and Amazon link says that software of 2016 is unvailable)
I also think it is a Microsoft promotion (and therefore that it will probably be extended)
