Greetings. Down with Windows 8!

I spend most of my day online.  I have three desktop computers running 4 operating systems, plus an iPad tablet, an Android smartphone, and an iPod.  I encounter a variety of cool stuff online.  The purpose of this blog is to share some of the stuff I run into.

This includes sites, software (open source), annoyances, tips, and probably a lot of other things.

Today, I have a tip.  If you are on a desktop system running Windows, DO NOT UPGRADE to Windows 8 or 8.1.  Maybe consider it if you are on a small-screen laptop with a touch screen.  It might even be a decent operating system for a smartphone or tablet.  But on a desktop, it is just ridiculous.   All of the apps want to seize the whole screen.  'Nuff said.
