Good morning to you, Alan.   
      
    AZ> suggesting to Mac-owners currently running last year's OS X 7.x Lion   
    AZ> that they upgrade to this year's OS X 8.x Mountain Lion, primarily for   
    AZ> performance improvements).   
      
   	I can agree with this. It is an ever on-going quest. I keep all my computors   
   as lean as possible for this.   
      
    AZ> When I bought my iPad 2 yrs ago, I got a bluetooth keyboard with it -   
    AZ> but ended up returning the keyboard (unopened) to the store.... the   
    AZ> virtual keyboard - while not as usable as a physical keyboard   
      
   	I saw one in use yesterday, in a book store, it was pitiful. The backspace   
   key was well worn as much as the space bar.   
      
    AZ> I'm not a fan of typing program names into a search field to start them   
    AZ> up - either in Windows or on the Mac   
      
   		Again, I have to agree with you. Getting soft with old age ! It is possible   
   to access a list of all that sits on a W-8 setup. I am not on one at this   
   boonies site but I remember that I saw it on my home Acer. There will be a   
   learning curve on this new Windows OS as all new stuff, my curve on the  Air   
   is still quite steep if not vertical.   
      
   	I will be more logical when I get to run RTM, I will remember to D/L it, it   
   is 3 days after my wedding anniversary. I still regret your move, and   
   Charles', to this other machine, as your advices were so pertinent.   
      
   	On the Air, I found two ABs. One is from the top menu line and the other one   
   is from a "Write a message" screen. From this second one, we are able to   
   delete some old addresses, not so from the first one.   
      
   	I have been trying to use the left thumb to use the spacebar, have you tried   
   this ? The right end of it gets polished from use.
