I'm FINALLY awake!

[amelialourdes]

I'm awake enough tonight to actually respond to previous posts and post something of substance tonight. This week at work I've been trying to get some overtime while they're offering it so I wake up early and spend about 10 hours there. So I'm pretty exhausted when I come home and then I have a day off and then I work and it's been on and off all

She's not the most easy-going when it comes to people or places or things.

Heeeeee.

And yeah, Windows 8 sucks. My dad has it and it's so confusing. Why would they get rid of the start menu? So dumb. I'm knocking on wood that my laptop hangs in there. It's 5.5 years old and still being a good little boy. I want Windows to figure their shit out before I have to get another computer.

It's a shame your cousin can't come to terms with her issues with her dad. My dad frustrates the hell out of me sometimes, but I just let it go because he's not going to change at 80 years old, and what's the sense in holding a grudge? None of us are perfect and sometimes you just have to let it go and focus on the positive. That's my POV, anyway.

LOL! I just see what I put there and it's true, damn it.

I don't know why they got rid of the start menu! I discovered that it's easier to navigate with a mouse. The track pad on the laptop is so unnecessarily sensitive. You click one then and a slight shift to the left or right and it takes you out of whatever app you were in. I've found that with the mouse, you can click it on the desktop and keep it on the desktop. But yeah, there's no start button so you have to shift it to the right to make the interactive menu pop up to shut it down. Like... way to make Windows even more complicated when it shouldn't be.

So... yes! Tell them to install a Windows 7 because those are fine. Windows 8 blows. Haha.

I agree. I can understand her position. There was that Modern Family episode that never fails to make me cry at the end of it. It was that one with the montage of their dads and I think it was Ed O'Neill talking at the end and he said the only thing that fathers need to do is be there for their kids. It's such a simple concept but

I hate, hate, hate Windows 8. We have it on our desktop and all I want is the start button with the menu. I hate it so much. My mom and dad have it on their laptop and if you hit the mouse the wrong way, it just CHANGES and it's so annoying, because it's HOW I USE THE MOUSEPAD. I know it's the interface they use on their cell phones, and maybe it's great for the cells, but oh my god, I hate it for the computer. My brother, on the other hand, likes it, but he has a windows interface cell, so he's used to it. Ugh, I hate it. I rage when I have to use it.

I don't know why they don't even put it as an OPTION. Or at least when you start the computer, why isn't the desktop view an option WITH start button? I used to tell my mom that it was easy and now I'm like, "I can't figure this out. How is SHE supposed to?" No wonder they were selling the systems for cheaper. I see their trick. No one in their right mind would willingly buy Windows 8. Ugh, get your shit together, Microsoft. I guess it might be good for cells but for computers? Fuck no.
