    Default A bad day yesterday


    I tell you guys if anything can go wrong in one day it certainly did yesterday nothing was going to write it just was a bad bad day I was consciously trying to download programs into my computer and they would not go and properly they would refuse to open and I tried and tried and tried and then finally about 5 PM last night my computer said I am going to blow up one you in it shut down and smelled something bad coming out of the back and you will world would not turn on anymore so I had to buy a brand-new computer today and we're now just getting it set up I hope you guys have not got into the Windows 8 you will be in for a big surprise of guarantee you that you will be saying bad things but it is a different ball game completely.

    I bought a window 8 computer.....tried working it for a few days did not like it.....I even turned off all the tiles and it was supposed to work like windows 7 then but it didnt. I took it back and got my money back. No windows 7 anywhere in town. I went to wallmart.com and they had a bunch of windows 7 left in the warehouse....I ordered one of them.....all is well now.

    I will keep my Optiplex 790 with Windows 7. That is good enough for me.

    I would have kept my old one too Mike but......I had replaced the power supply twice and then finally the mother board went out. When I quit using one its worn out. I have worn out several through the years.

    You can put Windows 7 in the new computers. Windows 8 sucks unless you have touch screen.

    Made the switch to windows 8 the first week it came out b/c they had a good n cheep upgrade offer. Took about 3 weeks to get it all figured out. Now I just hit the desktop mode and use it like any other windows version. As stated before this thing was made for a touch screen. Having said that I am use to it now so no big deal anymore.

    I did have Windows 8 for two days and took it back and got my money and went over to the Apple Store and bought a Apple Computer well I tell you it is 100 times better than Windows 8 and I sure do love it don't have to worry about any virus protection or anything like that it's all built right in it takes a little bit deep used to getting to learn how to use the tools and stuff I haven't talked to anyone that likes that Windows 8 why in the world did he ever change from Windows 7 all never know but they sure made a lot of people mad so if you're wanting a good computer go ahead and shoot it with you 300 Magnum and go buy yourself a computer like a Apple.
