In reply to I just use the desktop square

I have had mine since the summer of 2013 with the original 8 so after a week or so I down loaded Window's 7 desktop shell and set it up to go straight to that when starting up. Later when 8.1 came out I up dated and then had to reset up W.7 desktop to start up. It took me 3 months to find where to adjust the cursor pad so that the cursor wasn't jumping all over the place and charms flying out at me all the time. There was lots of time spent googling for answers to where to get and find what I needed. But what really got to me was the fact they did not even include a bare bones word processing program. I went to Open Office for that.

I just use the desktop square

I just use the desktop square to get to a normal looking screen and just surf from there in Foxfire. Like, you, I think the squares are worthless.

I just wanted you to know it

I just wanted you to know it was not all your fault. It probably crashes because there is several apps programs that are running in the background that should not be. They suck up the power and memory space to work in, and then down it goes. There was several comments on that, so that is common. It is not like you turn them on they just come on when you start it up.

Microsoft screwed up because they were trying to get ahead of the tablet and android trend and tried to interface all of them with computers but they left out a whole market of users. PC users that do productive things and wanted the software needed to do those things. They are marketing that software as a service for a fee. Their next move is to move us to the clouds so we have to store our files with them as a fee for service. I won't be doing that. Thumb drives and freeware will be the rout I take with warts and all.

I would seriously think about investing in getting you Toshiba up and running for $100.

This is four days late.

In reply to OT: Richard you need to read

After reading your link, I will never figure it out! hahahah

I 'crash' five or ten times a day.

But it is not like I have anything else to do. haahah

I just hit the windows thingy along with C and I start all over.

Like I attempted to point out somewhere, dagblog works just fine and so does NYT.

I kind of gave up since I get to read and write and....

Something is wrong, although my son tells me I can give my old Toshiba with 7 to his friend with a hundred bucks and do just fine.

Again, it would be another two years to afford a new pc.

And yet, I continue to blog and have friends like you....

It is all right!

I missed this comment.

I missed this comment.

This song must have been toward the end.

71 aint that bad an age to give it up, I guess.

There was a meeting, between Johnny and Bobby decades ago.

Dylan met this giant and walked around him and said:

So this is Johnny Cash!

No, Johnny was not a clown and Dylan knew it.

Thank you for this.

I will play it all day, of course.

OT: Richard you need to read this on Kos. I know you have been so frustrated with your computer problems but you are not alone. The truth is Windows 8 sucks big time. Microsoft screwed up. It is a good rant. I know you love rants. Also take time to run through the 600 comments there are some good ones.

It's been a while since the abomination came out and still, Windows 8 isn't just user-unfriendly, it's user-hostile. The user interface is ... unappealing—garish colors, asymmetrical squares, and polygonish tiles lumped together like a child's crayola drawing with little in the way of description even when moused over. Maybe child drawing is too kind: it's like something Andy Warhol drew up with neon-colored magic markers from beyond the grave while coming down on really bad acid.

The Squares of Confusion is where most users encounter their first round of what will be many bouts of agitation—where's the start menu or whatever passes for it (hint, there's not one)? But it's been added since, ad hoc: if you click on the bottom blue square and then right click on the lower left icon in the toolbar where the usual disco ball is supposed to be, you'll get a drop up of some of those start menu features.

You are not lost any more then the rest of us wondering through this maze called windows 8.

Why thank you, Dick.

Why thank you, Dick.

I remember Johnny singing from when I was a kid. And being from out in the country, he was a hero. In many ways, like the men I saw around me. Lots of nobility, lots of strength, lots of mistakes.

And I remember how shocked I was when I found that amongst some cooler/hipper circles, Johnny was a joke. They thought of him like an Andy Williams or some yodelling cowboy. And I argued that they were completely missing what this man was about, and the quality he was carrying. Anyway, for years, the debate stood undecided, mostly, I think, because Johnny couldn't find his way into any serious music. Or maybe because he was just busy being an asshole. Sometimes it's hard to know why.

Anyway. Those great recordings he did in his last years clinched his record I think. His version of "Hurt" is truly a song that I'll remember all my life. And God's Gonna Cut You Down likewise.

I'm kindof hoping that's the story of my life. And in many ways, of my generation's life. People who've done so much good.... and then been such unredeemed assholes, for so long. So many missed opportunities. So much decay and erosion that we allowed to take place. So much... cowardice.

I'm just hoping we all get our chance to make our own late life "American Recordings."

Johnny's a good symbol of that, for all of us I think.

Hope you had a great Easter, Dick & Dagblog.

You know, Q deep down (and not that far down) you are a nice man.

I have problems deciding where to put this thought, but you are a nice man!

That is a fact!

Thank you for being a nice man, even though I realize that you will deny this acronym.
