I am going along the same lines as being practical. Playing around with smartphone and tablet technology is great fun for the person on the go, but for those of us who are hardcore keyboard clickers really don't have much love for Windows 8. I did the beta thing on my old computer, which is a odd to really say old because it's not even 12 months old, but technology does not stand still with computers, so things get old fast. The new computer came with Windows 8. After two months I replaced it with Windows 7. Yet, as much as I try to keep up, I am bored with it all. I'm going to make the leap and go back to one of my earlier loves in my computer history and purchase the new Commodore products. They are capable of running multiple OS and can easily be switched back and forth. I can have my Windows 7 and the Commodore OS and enjoy my twilight years.
