The strange think about capitalism is that the propaganda says it is supposed to give you more choices. But try buying a new laptop in Europe with WIN7 or XP. Instead you're stuck with a idiotic WIN8 were you're supposed to touch your screen, where simple stuff you need like "my computer" or the "off button" is hidden behind a sea of ridiculous "apps", designed as if some clever fools at Microsoft believes that the customers of any age should learn to use a computer anew as if for the first time. Perhaps I should send them a bill for the hours spent finding out how this nonsense works ? It's like a car maker want's to reinvent the driving experience by putting the steering wheel on the roof. It's charming like an open grave. > --- In [email protected], nablusoss1008 <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "Richard J.
