            Hey thanks Scott, that's above and beyond.

            Time for me to look dumb, what's chocolatey?

              That's the second time that that question came up today! Taught @LilAng about it just a few hours ago.

                Chocolatey

                Chocolatey is a package management system for the Windows NuGet packaging format. Analogous to YUM, APT, or DNF on Linux. Chocolatey is as close to official as it gets with Windows not quite having an official package manager. It's very powerful and useful, free, too.

                https://chocolatey.org/

                You can install it with this command in PowerShell...

                Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

                  Chocolatey allows you not only to install a package quickly and easily like this...

                  choco install mypackage -y
                  

                  It also allows you to simply update all managed packages on your system like this...

                  cup all -y
                  

                  It's so handy. Really takes Windows to the next level. Plus Choco provides a massive library of packages so it is a handy way to research what is available today.

                      The original... Midnight Commander

                      choco install mc
                      

                      It's not the original. Norton Commander is the original.

                      Norton Commander used to be the first program to install straight after ms-dos itself.

                        I don't recognize anything from Norton as valid. People used to use AV from them, too. MC is the original of value 🙂

                          They are so alike that I feel like I'm back in the eighties every time I run mc. Even the key bindings are almost identical. And the colors and, and, and...

                          Norton Commander was of course nc so there's that difference at least.

                              But it was way before Symantec bought Norton.

                              BTW, here is Norton Commander:
