I've noticed issue with older hardware. After a recent upgrade to modern hardware (LAN based), all performance issues have been resolved. Currently serving to >30 devices, including 4K media to multiple endpoints and 100Ks files.

My father was an alcoholic and went to meetings for over 20 years. Then, one day he felt strong enough to stop going to meetings. A few years later, he was dependant on opioids, which began as a perscription to back pain. I have my doubts he would have gone this direction had he still had the support of being "in the program".

Also, I'd say I've been to well over 100 of these meetings as a youth. I'm really happy I did, as it led me to see how some of the most beautiful people lost everything due to their substance abuse issues, which in turn led me to lead a clean life.

There is always a few of these comments per Firefox 57 post. Always someone lamenting the days of yore, and talking about how no one will ever use Firefox again. It's not making a new point, and the other comments are usually speaking of how great it's been. People get super emotional when things change.

You remember a different Netscape than I do. Netscape was the kind of browser you hated to recommend to a loved one. The experience was truly subpar. When Firebird was announced, the user experience improved significantly over what Netscape could have ever hoped to attain, though it still took some time before recommending it to a loved one would turn out not to be a mistake.
