[Blindtlk] blind mice mart downloading

[Mark Tardif]

Hi, Georgia,

I clung to Windows XP as long as I could, but now that I am used to it, I 
find Windows 7 is not bad at all, even though there are some differences.  A 
lot of my initial problems with this new computer turned out to be settings 
that weren't set the way I wanted them, but Windows 7 is fine.  I am not 
sure that I would go directly to Windows 8, I've heard rather negative 
things about it.  For example, no Start Button, and something about having 
to swipe, the way you might with an atm card.  I think I would wait until 
the bugs have been cleared for that one, just my opinion.

Hi,

Do you have windows 8 yet?? I was thinking of getting windows 7 but now that
I see that there are instructional books out at  one of the instructional
web sites for assistive technology for the blind I am wondering if this
could be a mistake.
Windows 7 from what I have read isn't that much different from xp. Yes,
there are changes but nothing that bad.

I had this computer built 11 years ago, and it has  had very good upkeep by
a inexpensive techs I know in the area.

What is your opinion on Windows  8??

Georgia
