Topic: Windows 7 or 8?

[-<WillyP>-]

Ok then. My wifey has the Win8 laptop figured out so it can't be too bad. Win7 Pro was shipped yesterday and my butt is on a brand new chair from staples so life is good!

Oy.  I just had this mental picture of you leaving your butt on the chair while you left to run some errands...

Minds can think of the darnedest things if you don't supervise them.

I think I'm going to take the upholstery off the seat and add some more pad.

I just have to figure out a way to keep my cat from clawing the seat I have.  She's put scratches all over it.  :/

We had that problem to with the killer kitten. These are leather. So far, no sign of clawing these. If you want to stick with fabric, some fabrics are better than others. We had two old chairs and the back of one was thoroughly shredded, the other showed little evidence of damage. I can't say for certain whether it was a preference on the part of the cat, or durability of the fabric.

Probably preference on the part of the cat. Cats can shred anything they want to, much like a dog will destroy any toy you give it.

Ah! two new chairs acquired, and W7 installed on two machines. A third chair on it's way, along with a new keyboard, slated to arrive Monday.

Now, I have just noticed that neither Firefox now IE will play the mp3's in the gallery. I had this problem before but I don't recall what I did to fix it. I installed Foobar2000 and VLC Media Player, and both work fine, but it won't play in the browser.

edit:
Firefox blocked Java because it was out of date, d/l'ing update now.

Flash! I didn't have Flash plugin installed!

The third chair and the keyboard arrived and I love the clicky keyboard. No software, no glossy advertising in the box, just an old-school keyboard in a plain, brown cardboard box. Very similar to the Packard Bell keyboard on the kids machine, that I've had since a Pentium 200 with MMX was state of the art. It's older than the kids are!

The first two chairs, I felt like I was sitting on plywood after a while, so I took the upholstery off the seat of the third and added two layers of re-bond carpet padding under the foam.
