After a techno week from hell TBF I could not even contemplate thinking about the possibility let alone add one.

Perhaps next week or month or year. I am so over the electronics world I am seriously considering become a Luddite.

Snail mail and reading the newspaper and fax machines look very attractive today.

I am updating nothing until 2014 at minimum if ever.

You could compromise and go back to Windows 98. Or Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

agree od - humour and microsoft is an oxymoron

after your experiences with apple and ipad you are running out of options

hope the family on the improve

After the initial first months problems with the iPad it is now running as sweet as I could imagine.

Typing this on it now dc

The laptop is a work computer so I have no choice but to put up with it.

However when my own PC dies I think I will be visiting the Apple shop.

I have a number of friends on Android who all report good results pity they don't make a pc operating system.

The problem with Apple is their hardware is so expensive compared to PC.

But I guess as my brother keeps reminding me " Price does not matter if it won't work"

Cup day here on Tuesday mate so after this week i am taking monday off.

The windows 8 laptop has been retired to the floor under my desk till then so hopefully my humour will return over the next five days.

It is just that I hate being beaten by Dell and Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just left my Dell Alienware Laptop with Win 7 Pro

Apple I now avoid but have one of their Laptops somewhere

For tablets and Mobiles I try and use Android gear

have you forgotten OS/2 Warp?

oooh......now yore just sweet talking me baby !!

I find it absolutely hilarious to note how wrong ol' HAL got so many things. Personal PC's ?? No way Jose !! lol epic fail

A mate of the time actually worked for the company and showed me Warp. i was a bit of a newby to puters so didnt fully grasp its wonder til late having a career in them.

Warp...kinda a PC'd morphing of a Unix style entity all being done by the most Ironic of companies. A brilliantly engineered OS...its what Windows should have been !! lol

Has this become a nerd thread?

More than happy with 7 Champ.

Works fine for me.

Please don't dc you are rubbing salt into the wounds today.

After a week from hell this week I yearn for a simpler time.

What with a sick family, bloody windows 8, and numerous other disasters I could go a Tex bar right now with a strong coffee.

Sorry to hear it, OD. Hope the family are better soon.

As for Windows, someone must make a Microsoft voodoo doll, or punching bag ... :-)

What do you mean become?

Just because you arrive back from your Scousey holiday with your Beatles haircut do you expect the geeks to flurry like mice?

FFS Redleg.

In fact, the geeks kick sand in our face and f.,k our girls on this thread.

Geeks are the cool kids now.

Was told by a little Saint's birdie, that the Coach sacking has a lot to do with a huge prospective sponsor who wanted a new Coach.

Lower the dose Biffo, I think the meds are too strong.
