Well....my Toshiba laptop bit the dust the other day when it fell off the recliner onto the tile floor. It messed up the corner where the plug in goes. They said it messed up the "mother board". So I bought another Toshiba at Best Buy(only $379) pretty much like the one I had($700 4 yrs. ago), except with the new Windows 8. My son went with me, and told me and the guy at Best Buy he and most of his friends don't like the Windows 8 version. Now after a couple of days I know why. It is not user friendly for me, and difficult to use since I'm not "geeky". The guy at Best Buy said alot of people who bought them early on brought them back because they couldn't use them. But he also said that they don't sell any of them with Windows 7 loaded in them anymore....that you would have to pay about $200 to change a new one back. I guess I'm stuck on a new learning curve that I'll never get past. Heck, it took me 4 years just to learn some of the tools on the old one.....and now this new gig is a real setback for me. They just can't leave a good thing alone, can they? #*@%!!
