I get those kinds of emails from my "daughter". not her, of course. I use Outlook Express and in the upper part of the screen where it lists the emails coming in, if you right click on the sender, then open Properties, you can see that it wasn't actually sent from her email address. I do this quite often before I open anything that remotely makes me nervous...

I have a Kindle and love it. Especially I like that I can order a sample of the book downloaded to my Kindle so I don't end up buying a book I bought and read a few years ago. My Kindle is of the first generation - my daughter has a Kindle Fire and she keeps telling me to look this up and that up. I have to remind her I can't get on the internet with my Kindle. I must have a hundred books on it. I don't know how many it will hold, and when I reach a limit I can delete them and always get them back if I want. They are on my account at Amazon.com. My Kindle was over a hundred dollars 18 month ago. Nancy W From: <[email protected]> eReaders and Tablets > > It was Barnes & Nobel where I looked at Nook which cost around $150.00.

I would appreciate a look up of the 1860 census butler County Ohio for Kunigunda Deinzer (Denzer,Diniger) . George Michael passed away in 1853 . Kunigunda was born 1787 in Bavaria (Germany) married to George Michael Deinzer. son s George Michael (known as Michael - my great grandfather), Leonard ,John, Earhard ,and maybe a daughter Margaret. Kunigunda died in 1863. Thanks, Joyce Ann

I would appreciate a look up of George Michael Deinzer (Denzer,Diniger) of the 1840 census in Butler County Ohio. I would like to know how many were in his family as I believe they had arrive to Butler County Ohio in 1839.

I bought the Dummies for Win8 book for my Kindle, already have it to read through before the laptop arrives. I had bought a small Chromebook tutorial before getting into the Chromebook and it made life much easier. No shockwaves. A friend suggested that before people buy... surfing for WIN 8 tutorial on google before spending money and just skimming the stuff there.. it will all click for you.. and likely for them too... She uses Win8 and has never complained about it. I suspect that I won't either.

I had no choice, Windows 8 came on the computer I bought. But I am finding it isn’t all that bad – I can make it work (once I found out how to close windows, how to return to a previous page, how to summon the print command, etc.). Often, it seems that I work off the desktop (not the START menu), and then it functions just like Windows 7. I really find that I simply just do not understand why the need to change the way things are done – I can’t feel that working in Windows 8 adds anything at all. It just tries to mimic how a tablet works – but laptops and desktops aren’t tablets and don’t have the same constraints tablets do. But who am I to question Bill Gates? Good luck with your new laptop. Staples did offer a tutorial (I didn’t buy my computer from Staples) for a minimal price, that explained a lot and was very helpful. I felt it was more helpful because I had first spent a couple of weeks working around with it, and had a better feel for what I wanted/needed to know. I realize you don’t get out much, but perhaps you might have a computer whiz come in, not to ‘repair’ your computer, but to answer some questions you have discovered, and to give you some insights into using Windows 8.
