It's a nice little Toshiba Satellite with an Intel i5 processor. But I hate that everything I need to actually WORK on the machine is buried. I need to get Office, too -- trying to decide if I need to spring for Publisher and learn how to use it for POD.

I would look for Office 2010 to get it cheaper, but fear it may not work with WIN 8. So may need to get WIN 7.5 for that reason. Have one more lead on Office 2013.
