As the owner of a WinCE device, I always though it stood for "Windows - Crappy Edition".

The evidence is there for all to see.

As for ending support - I have not noticed any support in the last 15 years or so, so I am no more disappointed than I was on day two - when I discovered I could not install Linux on the device.

Comment Re:Gall stones? (Score 1) 70

About 20 years ago, I had kidney stones - so bad that my local hospital referred me to a larger one, who, in turn referred me to an even larger one with an 8 month waiting list.

My mother used Google to find that Aloe Vera was good for kidney stones, She was going to go to the local pharmacy to get some, but a family friend overheard her and said "don't waste your time with that - go to the West Indian shop and get a leaf and prepare it yourself". She bought the leaf instead and then asked the friend how to prepare it: she did not know.

However, as a moderately scientific family, we scraped the gel out of the leaf, and boiled it to sterilise it, then blended it.

I took two spoons a day till the pain went, and one a day thereafter. When my hospital appointment came up, the x-ray showed no stones present.

Last year I got a gall stone - while waiting for treatment, I thought I would take Aloe Vera - probably wion't work, but worth a try. It worked.

However, I made an interesting finding using Google -if you take Vitamin D3, it makes you take on calcium - you need to also take K2 to make the calcium go to your bones and teeth instead of random places like kidneys and gall bladder (or muscles).
