Harvey, Windows 8 is a disaster for sure! You might consider taking that
computer back, and going on ebay where there are plenty of Windows 7
machines being sold. I just bought a nice laptop with Windows 7 on it,
because I don't want to deal with Windows 8. Also, your JAWS SMA, if you
have one, costs more with 8, because you have to buy the professional
version.
