You know what breaks my heart?

That my mother, living a thousand miles away, will never see a video of her great granddaughter because of that attitude. That her mother won’t either. That my in-laws are now stuck on their farm with nothing more than a phone.

Someone will make a mint if they ever tap into that market for a reasonable price.

Download Classic Shell for her. It returns the “Classic” look for W8/W8.1.

You’re exaggerating too much, or you don’t really understand the technology or what’s happening.

In fact, with Windows 10 and Windows Phone, things actually get a lot easier and better. The only thing that could make things easier, is for somebody to take the worry out of learning some new tricks and do it all for you. The things you seem to be worrying about are the applications and not the OS. The OS (Windows) is just a facilitator for the real things that you want to accomplish, and it’s those things that you need to worry about.

You can still get great refurb pcs that run XP and win7.

just throw a lot of anti-spyware and anti-virus software on it...

I’m still looking for a user-friendly app like Outlook Express to throw on a win7 pc for some oldies..

Speaking of Mint

Works more like windows than windows.
