Mari,

I am glad you are managing ok with the Win 8 bear. LOL. I too have some display personalizations that are important to me, so I know what you mean.

I am still hem-hawing about getting a system. It is going to be more money than I had hoped for.

Ginnie,

Yes, in 8.1, Microsoft fixed some of the stupid stuff they did in 8.0. 8.1 is a free update for anyone with any Win 8 installation. From what I know, it can be downloaded from microsoft's web site.

Most things available here still have 8.0, so unless I wait a little to buy, I will need to download the 8.1 update myself. It is no biggie.

What a helpful tech you had, that he/she set you up with both operating systems. That sounds like really good service.
