Ah, but if we upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8.1, will all of our games
still work? You're comparing apples to oranges.

Well, look at iOs 7. I really didn't want to upgrade. I was used to iOS6,
but apps just stopped working with 6, like Fleksy, so I had no choice.
Also, i wanted the opportunity to try DoItWrite, but that alone didn't
convince me to upgrade. There were too many bugs, too much hastle--but
when things quit working I took the plunge. Imagine my great joy when all
my games still worked, and Aurifi even works better on 7. I've been
playing Aurifi for days now, and wish I'd upgraded sooner since it's one
of my top three faves.

Well tome there is also the fact that it is possible to get used to just
about anything, indeed there are situations where the human ability to do
this is quite scary.
I suspect I could learn to live with windows 7 if there was actually a
reason to do so, the same way I learnt to use the Iphone touch screen.
This is however also why i tried Ios before I bought an Iphone, since if
I was going to spend that amount of money on something I wanted to be dam
sure about it first.
One problem however I think if you lack sight generally with any
interface is because you don't have the quick and instant aaccess to
information and overview a sighted person does, you are naturally going
to take more time learning new positions and thus be more wary of any
change in that established learn routine.
Think of it this way, suppose you go into your favourite local restauant
and they've utterly rearranged the tables so that the counter is at the
opposite end of the room. for a sighted person, ---- no problem. But for
a blind person who neesd to remember the positioning of objects it means
more learning. This is especially true when things are complex.
Of course, everyone gets used to doing this, however it still takes time
and energy that a sighted person does not have to expend.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
