It feels great to be back on Fordbarn! For me, a real accomplishment! My old E-machines puter finally "Virused" out. I refused to buy the updates and like many an old car or engine, I just rode it till it died! (8Years)
Now I have a new HP laptop and this takes some getting used to. It is loaded with Windows 8.1, which is the worst Windows O.S. I have ever had the displeasure of owning! I have only had this thing a matter of hours and I had to take it back to the seller to get a password. One cannot do this by yourself as it involves another computer and some security codes(?) Who actually needs this stuff? Windows 8.1 requires that you register with Microsoft, something I never did before. Just a gentle warning that if you need a new puter, Find one with EP or Windows 7,This 8.1 is a real PITA! OH yeah, I wanted to also say, it's great for ads, no matter what, the ads get through really well!
