Start Menu Add-On for Windows 8 and 8.1

If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, the biggest change for most of us is that there is no traditional Start Menu, as in the older versions of Windows. This makes it hard to find and start programs.

Clear Computing has found an add-on that installs a Start Menu on Windows 8 and 8.1. We strongly recommend that you have someone who is technically competent install this free add-on for you:

Windows 8.1 Hints and Shortcuts

Windows 8.1 supports some shortcuts that can make it easy to do many tasks. Many of these are keyboard shortcuts that use the little key on the lower left of the keyboard that looks like the Windows logo.

Two of the most useful are:

Windows Logo Key --> Toggle between Desktop and Start Screen
Windows Logo Key + F --> Search for a file

Microsoft No Longer Supporting Vista

Still using Microsoft Vista on your computer? If the answer is "Yes", it is time to replace Vista.

Microsoft is no longer providing Mainstream Support for Vista. If you upgrade to Windows 7, you will find it very similar to Vista, so it won't be hard to get used to. Most of the computers that initially shipped with Vista installed are capable of running Windows 7. The minimum system requirements for Windows 7 are a 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of hard drive space.

Joke of the Week

Mischievous Boys

A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous.

The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents were at their wit's end as to what to do about their sons' behavior.

The parents had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to give it his best shot. He asked to see the boys individually, so the eight-year-old was sent to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"

The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?"

Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?"

At that, the boy bolted from the room, ran directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, "What happened?"

The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"
