[Blindtlk] blind mice mart downloading

Fri Jan 4 01:54:51 UTC 2013

I did try Windows 8, and although I know I'll have to change some time in 
future as hardware wears out, It is very different from the Windows we've 
all gotten used to.  I did try it and went back to my Windows Vista.  I used 
Windows 7 at work, and it isn't bad, but Windows 8 is very different.  I 
understand Microsoft is possibly trying to imitate the Apple operating 
system, and there are definitely bugs to be worked out.
