I"m back ! (finally)

[Terry, NJ]

I am not a puter geek. I don't even like these things, dial set telephones are more my speed. There! Spoken like real retro old car afficianado! But since I have it, I'll use it. Unless I can get a killer deal on a Mac and Best Buys will take this POS back (I hit something and I'm getting bold font now and I can't reverse it!) I must have hit the right key without knowing it, the standard font is back. GGGGGRRRRRFRR. What didI do?

You probably hit CTRL + B when you meant to hit Shift + B to capitalize the B in "Best Buy"...CTRL+B is a way to quickly switch between bold/regular font in many applications.

You're calling Windows 8.1 a POS because you don't know how to use it, not because it is a POS. About anyone who hates Windows 8 is because they don't know how to use it. It would be like calling a Model A a piece of crap because you don't know how to drive stick. I didn't like Windows 8 when it first came out, but once I used it for a week and got the hang of it, it is a great and stable operating system. I'm sure 50 other people will chime in and disagree, but alas, being a computer guy I think it's a fine system.

Never used Windows 8.1 but I have to ask, Why do you have to learn a new system every time MS comes out with a new version? If the OP was using Windows 7 shouldn't he be able to use Windows 8, or XP , Windows 98 or whatever other MS OS is out there?

Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Millennium, XP, Vista, and 7 are all basically used in the same way. Windows 8/8.1 is the first time things were dramatically changed.

People resist change, which is why you will hear them say Win8 sucks or it is a "POS" mainly because it is different and they don't know how to use it.

Got my chuckle for the day... Thanks.
