OK - so I ended up getting this one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/443444/15-R029WM_156_Laptop_Computer_Refurbished_-_Black
Its actually Pretty Sweet looking - and fairly lightweight. So - Kevin - how do I go back to "Classic Shell" as you suggested. Is it just a setting - or do I need to install something. I did a Google Search - and there seems to be a bunch of Links for downloading some kind of Classic Shell. But, on the web - I tend to be wary of DL's - unless its from a Known source. Heck, even CNet/Download.com can give you sucky DL's - like SW you don't want that's Attached to SW you DO want! Another link seems to say you can do some setting to get back the Classic Shell - but, it did NOT give details. Heck - it was frustrating last night just trying to figure out how to put the laptop to Sleep.

I wouldn't worry about going with Windows 8. The issue with Windows 8 is the new User Interface. By installing "Classic Shell", you get around most of the UI hiccups. Under the covers, it's still Windows for better or worse.
