[H] An Introduction

[DSinc]

It is with great relief to me that I announce the new subscriber, Robert 
B. Sinclair.

I call him Bruce, btw.
YES, he is my older Brother! The 'OB' of recent traffic about PCs :)
I believe he decided to share his questions directly with the 
Collective; instead of

using me (and my limited grasp) as his technical conduit.

I am very pleased finally!

 This only took me about 12 years! phew! The Sinclair clan does not 
move quickly.
Bruce is a home owner, has 2 cats (Jimmy and Timmy. sp?), and, is the 
new owner of

a Lenovodesktop PC running W8.1pro (that causes grief for him and I).

Please give Bruce a warm welcome.
Duncan

Hi everyone, my name is Bruce Sinclair and I am joining this august 
group of technical experts to try to gain knowledge about Microsoft's 
newest operating system. Windows 8.1.


Some of you may know me as the older brother of a long time member of 
this list, Duncan.When I would ask him technical questions about the 
mysteries of Microsoft's operating systems, he would sometimes post my 
questions to you all.You all have been very helpful.Duncan finally 
convinced me to join this group and post my questions directly.I am an 
experienced user of personal computers since I bought my first PC, a 
beige IBM PC with 256K of memory in 1983. I was a real power user from 
the start….LOLI now use a new Lenovo M83 mini desktop with Win 8.1 64K 
Pro operating system.I also own a HP laptop still with Win XP, and 
tucked away in a storage box, a vintage IBM 755 laptop that I am keeping 
for no apparent good reason.Duncan has suggested I use it as a doorstop.


The transition from the Win XP operating system to Win 8.1 64K Pro has 
been daunting at times.I am now at the stage where I am trying to learn 
how to control the different features of Win 8.1 and correct some 
mistakes I have made which I will post about later.In summary, I am a 
knowledgeable user of Microsoft based PCs but do not expect any 
technical answers from me now.I am here to learn.
