[AT] OT - computer advice

[charlie hill]

I haven't used Win 8 yet but from looking at the screen it looks amazingly 
like the Apps screen on my android phone.
I'm assuming that is the way you use it.  Just click on the "app" and go to 
work.   Is that right?

I agree with Dean.  The biggest problem with win 8 or 8.1 is the user.  Most 
people my age don't deal with change real well.  The younger folk that grew 
up with the computer technology will not have a big problem with.win 8.
