Default Windows XP end of support

Here's an example. I was trying to set up the 16 channels for midi
event inputs last night. There's a window I found that represents the
channels as boxes, numbered 1-16. I discovered if you click on the
individual boxes, they change color from white to blue but nowhere does
it indicate if blue represents "on" or "off". I guess you are just
supposed to know this stuff. Wouldn't a check mark for "on" and blank
for "off" make more sense? Why white and blue? Beats me.

This is after spending an hour even finding the setup window with the
boxes for these channels. Nowhere can I find any references to it in
the help sections or setup instructions.


I've had problems with the Windows systems too, in some of the more
"esoteric" functions.
Less in Windows 7. But I often do a web search for something I just did
6 months ago, because it's just faster.
It's such a "hands off" OS that I don't often need help.
Quite a change from 3.1.
