I have a Windows 8 also and I, also hate it. I don't like apps, they take up space. I can't figure anything out at all and what I did on my other computer I have to resort to writing it all down by hand in a bill paying book!!!!!! I have called the 1-800 number and end up in India and can't understand them anymore than I can understand the computer. There are no instruction books anymore, you have to download them and the price of ink is absolutely outrageous and you could use a whole $65.00 worth of ink to print up the book, which you don't understand because it is NOT written by Americans in America. I wonder if there is a true red white and blue computer with blow by blow instructions in this world. I have to grin and bear it. I don't like this stupid computer. I am not keen on laptops and mine is a desktop, doesn't matter. They are all made somewhere else and nothing relates to us. I got a Kindle not too long ago and I had to bring my computer in to have a program uploaded into the computer. I still don't understand it. All I wanted to do was put some audiobooks into the Kindle that I have and I don't know how to do it. No instructions with the Kindle either!!!!

It will cost you $100 and something to have a new program put in your computer and your local "I can fix your Windows 8" computer store can install it for you. There also is a an update that is free - it is called Windows 8.1. Well, it doesn't work in my computer, which is an HP. That is supposedly done right from your Windows 8 conputer.

I have to live with it because I can't afford a new one until hell freezes over. Too expensive, too many adjustments and I have this silly little thought that this is all pre-planned and another way to make money on the same computer you spend $800 for. No thank you. I'll just buy some more pens and do it the old fashioned way. Edie
