[Electronics-talk] ANYONE USING WINDOWS 8?

[Anita Ogletree]

Thanks to all the help.  I finally was able to get logged on this morning, 
have downloaded and installed NVDA and I am connected to the internet.

It was a challenge but I wasn't willing to give in until it was absolutely 
nothing else I could think of.  I picked up the laptop around 3 this morning 
and typed in the password I thought I'd set before and bingo!

Still have a lot to learn about Windows8 but I am on my way.

again, thank you to everyone who lended their voice.

Anita
