Since my
subscription for a dedicated website ran out a year ago, I’ve been using the
Dropbox facility to supply the URL
of any paper I upload to the blog.
But a spell using an old PC has made me appreciate Dropbox's deficiencies….....which include its reliance on a limited number of operating systems.

My old HP uses
Windows Vista (no longer supported by GoogleChrome) which is not one of the
operating systems used by DropBox. When I’ve tried to access the files on my
blog which has been using Dropbox, I get a useless frozen opening page with neither a download facility nor column to
allow scrolling down
Pcloud,
however, allows access to Vista and therefore, in turn, to the downloading and scrolling facilities - so I have installed it experimentally….
The
year may so far have seen only 15 posts but they have been significant ones - with definitive posts detailing the best reading on a variety of key subjects - eg capitalism (here
and here);
admin
reform; and postmodernism
I have therefore been so cheeky as to upload them in pamphlet form - to allow reading from the beginning of the year....And the latest version includes an introduction with a proper explanation to the blog and its strange title
Postscript; The experience has made me realise that those using Windows XP or Vista must have been experiencing the same problems.....so I have now adjusted the urls to the pcloud genre which should allow downloading for those on XP and Vista.
Let no-one say I don't take care of my readers!!
