If you are concerned about what Google is using the information in your emails sent, using the free Gmail service, then this YouTube video may be of interest.

These secure email services do charge a monthly fee. The Proton email service does have a free email service but it is limited to 1 G of email storage.

Oh, ok I know the style of flap disc you are using, now. The flap disc doesn't have a shaft, but a hole to mount on an angle grinder. :-)

This $5 flap disc is for angle grinder.  It's cheap, so only the edge makes contact.  More expensive ones have slightly angled sand paper, so you can make more contact.  I guess, I could use sand paper bit for die grinder, if I can find one.

Thanks for the update William.

Do you use an electric hand drill with the flap disc?

I bought "flap disc" from Dollar store and will let you know how it goes soon.  Sometimes, you can find pretty good deals at Dollar stores!

I mowed the lawn today, and used this flap disc to sharpen the blade.  Yes, "flap disc" is the best way.

Hi Fox. :-)   Yes, running the EasyOS from the usb drive is very snappy/quick in it's responses to mouse clicks.
The Distro has quite a selection of programs already installed. Firefox browser, LibreOffice word processor, etc.

I am running EasyOS from a usb drive on my notebook computer which is using a wireless keyboard and mouse and the hdmi on the notebook is hooked into a 22" monitor. All of which EasyOS was able to detect.
