Computer Rant...

Warning -- RANT:

I am so tired of looking for a laptop. Just found a review that says the keys stick on one Toshiba model! Costco FINALLY gets them in, they are not set up to actually do anything with a high end machine, so I can't test the keyboard, I cannot see anything on the screen to see if it's a good enough screen for my vision problems, and the "sale" price expires TONIGHT. Since I was in last week looking for this computer, it''s been on sale less than a week? And it's Windows 8, which looks totally different, plus will Scriveners work with Windows 8 (only piece of software I really need working with it next week?)

I have an hour to decide whether to go buy the damned thing, and then return it tomorrow if it's $##@#$%.

Apologies if this crossposts -- I told it not to!

I bought it, but we could not find Notepad or Wordpad on the thing. No way at all for me to test typing on the machine. I will check tomorrow to see if Scrivener will work with it, and also to find Notepad, which I use a lot. If Scrivener won't work with it, I'll probably return it. Looking for the Windows 7 drivers and Windows Seven seems silly.

I'll wait and see what machine I can find that will work with Scrivener!
