Re: Mind's Eye Windows Eight

Sounds good,, I don"t see me running out to buy a new PC with touch
screen ,, I already have that on on my transformer,, I like it,, but
I am not a game player so I do not think I will be buying one,,

Actually I have three computers as it is four if you count my smart
TV,, considering my phone is a Galaxy note and for many things it is
my preference,,

As for a new operating system,, but I am talking with my friend Hans
about that, I already have linux ubuntu on my laptop,, we are talking
about setting it up to be able to handle, firefox OS,, and possible
android.. and I think android might be cool on my bedroom TV.. a
little tiny processor.. for the back..but will have to think about
it..

so it is a process of going nuts I am sure..
