I think we have one.

 

We had one forever ago, list it and registered for one for our wedding. You can find them at Macy's and bed bath and beyond

 

Hey guys- i'm looking at new laptops for my 78 yr old mom. She is not good with learning new things and almost al new laptops are running windows 8. I heard this is the most bitched about/returned windows product because it looks like a tablet with the tiles and such. I know i would have to 1) learn it myself and 2) spend countless hours over there teaching her. Anyone have any experience with windows 8 and is it that difficult? Thanks for your thoughts

 

Amazon. 22$

 

I hate when your standing in line, and the only other person in line with you has to stand only inches away...

 

Buy a copy of windows 7 and install that

 

The think the latest update of Win 8.1 is supposed to return the desktop look.

 

Thanks- windows will let you uninstall 8 and install 7 ??

 

Went out and washed the Subie and the Taco. Didn't have automotive soap, had to use Dawn. That shit leaves spots like nobodies business!

 

Yup. Wipe hard drive, reboot with win 7 disk, good to go

 

I was always told dish soap is awful to use on automotive paint?

 

Could be, I dunno.

 

Any camping store should have them. Bass Pro also.

I hope you waxed it afterwards!!!

It isn't bad for the paint, it just strips off all the wax. Detailers will sometimes use that before going to town on the paint because it'll strip the paint of all the wax buildup so you're down to the unprotected base paint. So it's not bad for the paint, you should just really put a good coat of wax on afterwards to protect the paint.

 

X2 it strips the wax. It is to harsh

 

Thanks for the clarification!!!

 

^ I should have kept reading cause mike is the answer man.

 

Thanks Alex, Jason and Seth for the replies. I'm not good with software, just the physical things like the 2 lcd screens and keyboard i had to replace on my moms old laptop. At one point when she called i would answer "Thank you for calling Dell service, Technician Dave speaking" She could screw up a computer in record time. I can laugh about it now but not so funny then. Thanks again guys

 

Not a problem!

It's simple to install 7. Just pop the disk in and choose to format the hard drive before installing. Don't partition it (except for the windows 7 recovery file you will set up in a partition automatically) because partitioning will cause a screen to come up in DOS when starting asking you to choose an operating system. It's a pain in the balls.

But it is a simple install

 

Is today the world of wheels show ? I just saw 5 Classic American muscle cars on like 30" rims from RI in southie lol what a waste .

 

Yeah I hate that look.
