NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[tv1217]

I don't even know why I ***** because I have Classic Shell installed, but still...

 

[gunbunnies]

With classic shell installed it isn't too bad... but I like win7 pro better...

I'm running win 8 on my tablet and that seems to be alright for what I use my tablet for that is...

I sell them both. The Spring Mill is at St John and Holiday (Cedar Lake), but not sure about Lake. The WH Harrison is having production issues at the moment so it isn't available. I think I might have the Harrison Presidential Reserve in stock still, but that runs about $100 a bottle (although VERY good, if you're a bourbon fan). I also believe I have open bottle of both the Spring Mills in my trunk next time I stop by. They have the regular and a barrel proof, both TASTY!

I didn't see it at Lake last week. I'll check out the other two.

FWIW, find out about the Harrison Presidential Reserve, see if there is a bottle is stock. I might just spend the money.

Jedi-isms . . .

Jedi's son swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When Jedi telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said 'No change yet.'

Jedi's wife said that PMS jokes are not funny. Period.

Jedi was just hit in the head with a can of soda. Fortunately it was a soft drink.

Police were called to Jedi's house where his youngest daughter was resisting a rest.

Jedi took his kids to see how RC cola is bottled. He gave a pop quiz.

Jedi asked for advice about his bladder infection. I told him "urine trouble."

It's not that Jedi did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it.

So, you guys don't like the interface? Other than some compatibility problems with some older programs, WIN8 has been fine for me. It actually works better than 7 did in a lot of ways.

Walmart merrillvile fed 9mm 100 packs. $25.77

How many were left? Ill be going today to check out some ammo

Uggggh my shoulders and legs are burning from that agility test and all I had to do was pick up a weighted crate and squat a bunch of times, a few over head lifts, climb a ladder two steps...

Nice laptop sadclown. I have one win8.1 machine and i need another machine to upgrade my xp one but i think I'm going wait till win 9 comes out either this fall or next spring. I don't like the new 'Bios' that win 8 uses. Suspect win9 will still use the new 'bios' as well.
Hope the interface is better but we will see. I will have to keep the xp machine since some of my older programs will not run on win 7or greater. The others like office2000 i think i will finally upgrade.

The hand-me-down Toshiba laptop that my friend gave me is working fine. She told me before she sent it to me that she thought the battery was bad, so I ordered a $15 battery from ebay, and it works fine. Yay free!

 

[tv1217]

Lol yeah UEFI is replacing BIOS. It's never coming back.

 

[actaeon277]

My laptop is XP, and 10 years old. It's getting cranky.
But I have my college electronics programs on it, and replacing them could cost hundreds of dollars.

 

[tv1217]

See that wouldn't bother me because I'll openly admit I'm a big fat software pirate.

that is what I figured!!!!
oh well just means a new system to learn.

 

[tv1217]

I tried to dual boot Ubuntu and couldn't figure it out. It was frustrating.

 

[bigretic]

Windows 8 is so terrible, I've thought about pirating 7 to put on the one I have.

Whaaaaa!!!!! boo hooo.... they changed the start menu!!!

So, you guys don't like the interface? Other than some compatibility problems with some older programs, WIN8 has been fine for me. It actually works better than 7 did in a lot of ways.

This is reality. -except for the compatibility part (usually)

why is bios in quotes? you are either talking about the unit's bios or not. The kernel is practically the same except for internal virus protection and better memory allocation.
The BIOS is built-in software that determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. get yer sh-t straight.

few things. if you do not have a touch sceen, you will ***** moan and cry that you do not like windows 8. It is not that the interface sucks, it that your hardware does or it was not really designed to work optimally with windows 8. there are a couple enhancements to 8.1 that will probably make you happier if you fall into this group and even with a touch screen, I like the 8.1 patch better just for the sake of the access to the all apps screen. it eliminates any use for the classic start menu for most people.
Again, if you do not have a touch screen, the navigational actions are cumbersome and you will probably not like it and cry all over the internet that windows 8 sucks.
90% of the time I don't buy into compatibility issues (except some old games) but it may not be simple for a user to get them to work on 7 or 8. personally, I have yet to encounter an application I could not make work on 7 or 8 that was from XP and labeled not compatible by the maker or by the MS system. However, I have run into a couple of games that are a no go because of some odd active x and open gl coding.
As for the interface, you have to spend some time with it. People just pick it up and ***** it sucks because the touch screen is not the same as their iphone or droid. If you sit down with it and take the time to learn the subtleties of it, things make sense and it is quite in depth compared to everything else.

I tried to dual boot Ubuntu and couldn't figure it out. It was frustrating.

Well all I really need is a way to be able to do a complete system re-install every 30 to 60 days.
NORTON Ghost 2003 use to be my go to app for that but alas it won't work with Win7 or higher.
I think once Win 9 comes out I will wait a bit till Award-winning PC backup software - Acronis True Image 2014 gets it software updated and then go with that.
Being that the majority of computers now-a-days do not even include recovery disc just that stupid recovery partition on the same HD!

Well, maybe you need to help me install some old stuff on Win 7. I haven't had the time or patience.

I hate it when I have to upgrade, and I lose stuff.
It's like losing an old friend.

I have a touch screen and Windows 8 still blows. The "active corners" can be a pain in the ass too.
