Nope, it was the same background I had prior to updating to this version, the background, context menus, start menu layout, desktop icons etc are all things I customize myself on all my Windows installs. I like a familiar environment in whichever Windows computer I use here at home.

Just about any feature can be turned off or disabled or suppressed. Cortana is on at start up because that appeals to many new users in the modern smart phone generation. Google "Windows 10 disable Cortana" - maybe filter results for the last month or even year and you will find plenty to ways to do it. If you had installed Windows 10 yourself, during the install you'd have been givin options of disabling Cortana and several other features and reducing others, I suspect because your new machine came pre-installed with Windows that it was simply installed with all the "bells and whistles", every feature on by default so you can experience them and then choose like most people what to turn off or remove etc. It's a new OS with different features and settings, things change, that is how it works, always has been.
Simple Google searches will provide you with numerous ways to tailor Windows 10 to just how you like it. Myself, on all my machines I just use a free program that is pretty much a interface to easily control all Windows settings and many that would not normally be accessible to the basic user. It is called Winaero Tweaker and after installing and updating Win10 it is pretty much my go to program for taming Windows. Honestly though, just take some time getting to know the OS first and you might be surprised you wont need an external program. Windows 10 is perfectly FINE for most and like it or not it is the current Windows standard so best to get on with it and deal with it before support drops on older versions. So, that is my advice and thought I would drop it before the barrage of people that inevitably come into such threads to bash Windows for all the "changes" and the big brother conspiracies lol. Enjoy Windows 10, there is actually a lot of reason to for anyone who takes a little time or makes even the slightest effort, I promise the time and effort used to constantly complain about Windows 10 is better focused on just learning to use it properly, personally I would not use a modern computer without it, LINUX for older machines and Windows 10 for new modern Hardware is fantastic.

Adam was the COLECO Computer that you could get as a separate standalone unit OR as an expansion for your Colecovision. And YES the flashback Colecovision and Intellivision do NOT work with the original consoles as default, they intended to originally and would have made them much more worthwhile but they scrapped the idea before release.

Ah well that is a shame but I commend your standards regarding sales!

Seems a little premature to worry already? Where is the package from? I would not worry until going on to 3 weeks but then that is for Canada post.

NICE!

Have you run a disk check on it? If there are no bad or any signs of data loss you should be OK. Also try running a disk defrag on it.

Looks and sounds pretty damn sweet to me! I am sure you have plenty of fun ahead with that rig!

Funny what the Germans will not put up with and what they restrict lol.

LOVE the classic Hammer horror flicks! Everything with Lee. Cushing and just Hammer's takes on the Universal characters. Interestingly, I had not seen them in years and even though I had always loved Horror never really immersed myself in those films but "re-discovered" them over the last few years re-watching what I had seen and discovering many more for the first time and enjoying every minute of it!
-
I am sure it is rumor and speculation, if there was even the slightest truth or talk of it there would be posts on Horror fan sites.

Amazing! Very impressive. thanks.

Was the donor chip from an IN-HELL-I-VISION?

NOPE YOUR RIGHT! I just changed my settings and had autoplay enabled, then disabled it, at first it was fine but now it is enabled again. Tried in Firefox and IE! YOUTUBE IS HAVING AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW.

It's exactly what I thought......ok not really. Damn I keep thinking I got to fire up my TG-16 (I can play PCengine roms on it as well with my Everdrive) I never played it much back in the day, rented a TG-16 console with a couple games, my firend and I were wowed by the big colorful sprites but then afterwards we returned it and never really heard much about it again from anyone we knew. I regret not having explored it more back then instead of just sticking with all my friends / relatives on the old NES. On the upside I can explore this platforms great games right now.......just got summon energy to hook it up again........
