Read an article on that -- seems with the beta release there was a regedit that would revert back to the standard menus of 7. However, it was removed by time 8 was officially released.SeilerBird said:i tried the beta of Windows 8 the first day it was offered. I hated it. Not because of the lack of a start button and not because of the stupid tiles or the lack of a shut down button. I knew those would all be fixed in later versions. What I didn't like is the stupid ribbon menus. The old style menus worked just fine, why did they mess with it? The ribbon menu is not an improvement, in fact every time I use Windows Paint on Win7 I have to put up with a ribbon menu and I can never find what I want. This is what forced me into using Chrome and I have not missed Windows for a minute.

But how many of you can still produce a box of 5.25 floppies (the real floppies for personal use systems) loaded with all kinds of useful software? The original Norton Utilities anyone? I have such a box, and with it, two internal drives to read them. DOS still lives in my house, along with a computer tower which can run those drives and floppies. Why? I don't know. I guess I am a hoarder, (at least of computer junk from the past).

The meteor will probably miss me, but I'll get trampled by some stampeding 'sauars.Ned said:Well, Lou, keep looking up, that meteor is coming any day now.
.... and getting my greasy fingers on.....
I'm the same way, but now that I'm a "bit" older, I can't tell if it is a smear or my cataracts. Doc says, "Not yet." for cataract surgery.Tom said:I keep a microfiber cloth near the tablet and wipe the screen occasionally.
This from someone who's paranoid about those finger marks. It really drives me nuts to have any such smear on my eyeglasses and, for many years, I've carried a microfiber or optical cloth in my hip pocket. One reason I don't use sunscreen is because I'd hate having the slightest smear from that stuff on one or both lenses; Hard to remove, especially the "waterproof" variety.
I have the same tablet in the 8" model - and use the stylus at times. But better than that I have a case that includes a Bluetooth keyboard. Not as functional as a full size keyboard - but certainly cuts down on the number of times I have to touch the screen. Here's one for $8.50 on Amazon for a 10" tablet. But there are tons of these to pick from - so I would look around a bit. At only $8.50 I would question how good it is. Mine was around $27 or so.Alfa38User said:YES!!! This is my pet peeve with my 10" Samsung tablet. I use it mostly as a reader but those finger marks etc. drive me nuts!!!! I try to use a stylus and, although its use minimizes finger prints, they do get on there..... argh!!!
