I won't use em. A friend gave me a new out of the box HP. It took my friend about 6 - 8 hours to get it set up. Then it never did work - it was constantly interrupting to do "updates" and would take about 5-6 minutes to start up or shut down. I almost threw it across the room several times. I finally went back to my older, slower, but at least reliable Mac "work horse"Don Lamperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033476212606822358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-84327661658049157352014-08-06T14:16:32.893+10:002014-08-06T14:16:32.893+10:00Wow 17 Underwoods.

I'd had no idea about his relationship with Underwoods. I have a No. 4 and a No. 5, and always look forward to using them. I love his comments on Microsoft operating system design - I, too, always shook my head at how a software engineer could come up with the concept of clicking a button labeled "Start" to turn the darned thing off.TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035849049327300498noreply@blogger.com
