Re: Windows Eight

I upgraded to Windows 8 on the tenth of January this year and like everyone found it hard at first to get to grips with could not even find the off button, so I went and purchased the book Windows 8 for dummies and now I am slowly getting the new ways to find things.
Most of the things you need to use are hidden and only come in from the sides, top and bottom when you require them, you have to go into the corners and click. As I only use my laptop for emails, listening to music, and things like booking hols, buying online it does everything I need but I am always discovering new things. In the last week or two I have found (no joke) thousands of songs old and new big bands, jazz, pop all at no cost so if like me you enjoy your music as they say you can fill your boots, but can only to be used on your own laptop. I have also found a microphone where you can speak and the speech is changed into words. I have tried that and hoped to write this that way but it takes a lot of practice to get it to understand your speech, at the moment it is thrown into the corner.
Hopefully more practice and I may be able to write the next by just speaking into the microphone.
Yes Restless us oldies will come through but it may take a little longer. Half
