WAL-MART deal maybe not such a deal?
« on: November 05, 2012, 07:58:01 AM »
Bought a new Toshiba laptop at WAL-MART....price $248.00. Came with a 30 or 60 day free trial of windows 8 and then you have to buy it....same for Norton antivirus.....wife went ahead and bought "windows 8 pro" at about $70....I guess I'll soon have to purchase some antivirus stuff and the bargain ain't gonna be such a bargain after all...... 

So far so good, real fast but us old farts have trouble learning new ways. This is quite a jump from windows 98 and the sons windows 7.

Now where can  find some free card games like solitaire and hearts to make the wife happy?......oh, that's nice....it seems to underline in red your misspelled words......so now, where is spell check on this system? .....thankfully CC has it own spell check for the mentally deficient electronically handicapped. :-)

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

You should be able to pick up some free card games via CNET

I wasn't aware that Win 8 (or more likely whatever version of IE it is bundled with) had a spell checker. Better late than never eh.

If it works the same as the one in firefox you should be able to right-click the red underlined word for spelling suggestions.

if you click on the windows on the lower left of your screen, go to accessories, then click on games...

Scroll down a little - it's to the right of the post button. That's where is shows up for me.
