Re: new computer XY-DOS

Spoken like an Apple true-believer! I thought we were long past such
silly zealotry -- the web link was not at all helpful. The man wants a
PC, so get over it.


In my experience, Win 8.1 is very solid and stable, and installing
"Classic Shell" gets rid of the "tiles" and gives the look and feel of
Win 7. I do serious work with it; I never play games.
