Re: Santa Hat

Agree with Nemo. Has completed serving its purpose (to bring Christmas cheer to Nemo and I, of course). Please hold meeting of Santa Hat managers and get back to us on when you will be able to "go ahead and" lose the hat.

Unsure of Board Rules regarding out-of-season holiday decorations. Certainly we couldn't put up Independence Day decorations now, could we? There must be a time limit to these things. Someone should check the SOP on this.

Thank you.

Yet another reason I am disliking Windows 8 (or Windows 8 must just dislike me).
For the past day or so when I go to log onto Windows, there is a little message at the bottom-right corner of the screen which reads:
"Log in and install important updates."

Okay, so I log in and get to my desktop. Wait, wait, and nothing happens? Shouldn't an icon or window appear to prompt me to install updates? (Must not be that important).
But Windows 7...and all the previous ones would tell you when it's time to install updates, you shut down, restart, updates are installed, and so on.

You should just be able to click on it and pull up the updates. There is a simple workaround if that is not working. Put your cursor in the upper right corner of your desktop. This will promp a menu to slide out of the right side of the screen. select the gear at the bottom of that menu labeled settings. From there select control panel, then select Windows update. Click "check for updates" and then just follow the promps. Keep doing this until you have zero updates available. You can also change your auto update setting here to install it all automatically.

Worked! Thanks.

Okay, no more computer griping from me.

I'm just gonna agree that I HATE Windows 8, I actually returned my new computer because I hated it so much. I found a New Windows 7 online and I am sooo much happier to have Windows 7 back!!! I tried to give it a chance, i really did, but I just continued to hate it more and more!!!

Just FYI...there are apps that cost about $5 that will make Windows 8 look and feel exactly like Windows 7.
