Bye...

In the end it comes down to personal preference, I realized today I
hadn't booted into Windows 8 for several weeks so I deleted the Win8
partition, expanded other partitions to use the empty space (added most
of it to C: the Windows 7 partition) and used EasyBCD to remove the
dual boot record.

So ends the Win8 experiment.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.....

We're in the same tank. I said byee to Win8 months ago; and no, I don't
miss it one jot.

You'll be back in 2020, when the support for Windows 7 wears out :-)

I made my decision partly on the life cycle of Windows 7 vs my current
age. It's not likely I'll be here in 2020 but one can always hope! G

I took my towel but I can't recall where I put it. Age sure plays hell
with short term memory!

I do remember yesterday, though, it was a BIG one! I got a new great-
granddaughter!

Well, at least post occasionally just to keep us honest.

Glad you liked the fish.

I still have my mental picture of all those dolphins ascending to ...
oh, wherever they're going. It gives me hope.

And are you giving up on the MX-5's as well?
It's starting to get a bit difficult to get in and out of
as I get older and stiffer. (In some places, not others!)

Yes, my arthritic left knee protests the clutch. I suspect I wouldn't
really like an automatic so I think I'll probable sell it. sigh

I drove it a bit the other day and really enjoyed it, it was raining so
I couldn't have the top down but it's still a fun car to drive! If
traffic is very light and there are few stops on the route, the clutch
is not a very big problem.

Smart choice.. Myself I will wait for windows 10.. Contrary to what many
here think.. It will be out in less than 7 yrs as win 8 is like Vista,
they realized that it was a mistake and replaced it. Not one person
here can tell you positively that win 8 is here to stay and will not be
replaced with something better or at least workable. Of course not one
person here can tell you it won't be but I prefer wishful thinking!

Some of the club members went to the "paddle shift" versions, and if you
can believe them, like it, compared to the older manual and automatic
versions. My complaint with the manual has to do with
the relationship between the steering wheel and the pedals.
I always felt that the steering wheel to dash distance was about an inch
or two greater than it should be, based on clutch operation.
The original mistake was to leave out any adjustment capability, as some
other popular sports cars had in the past.
The large "pod" between the dash and the steering wheel compounded the
problem.

As a result, I have to use two seat positions, one for in town use
(frequent shifting) and one for the road, with the seat farther back.

I have only one seating position, seat ALL the way back! That's the
only way I can get my delicate, petite, tiny little 6' 4" 250lb body
into the critter.

Surprisingly enough, it's very comfortable for long trips but due to
pedals, seat, wheel relationships I'm pretty much in it and can't move
around...

NASA has age limits. I'm over the physical age and below the maturity
level. sigh
