-- Nuts indeed Allan - I've just paid another $5 for a programme that
resets the W8 start up back to W7! Saved me an hour or so tinkering
with registry and possibly an age if I hit a wrong button in there.
Said prog allows me to replace the windows icon with an 'up yours'
variety and to put bits of the control panel I use into the start
menu.
Touch screens won't interest me until speech to text is good enough to
get rid of keyboards. Even if they get this somewhere near right I
suspect I'd want a keyboard for editing. I am looking at a non-box
system (its really on the back of the monitor). In ready made ones
you lose a lot of computing power, so I'm thinking self-build. This
would replace our TV.
There was a new browser called Maxthon3 in the package. Seems a bit
quicker than Chrome. I may leave Chrome because i-Google is going and
am not happy about new google groups either. Maybe time we looked for
an alternative host?
