Perhaps a journal that might finally interest someone. My beloved Toshiba laptop died a tragic and unexpected death last week. Making funeral arrangements now. Forced to buy another laptop. Mac or windows- I didn't know what to get. Loved my Toshiba dearly so I got another one. A slight upgrade from what I had. 17.3 inch. All the reviews said what a great display it had. Unfortunately it comes with windows 8. I hoped it wasn't as horrible as everyone said. It's actually much worse. Windows vista was heaven. I never once had to ask anyone for help. Now I'm in hell. Hours after I bought the damn thing, I was back at best buy begging for help. Computer doesn't let me do anything. Spent two and a half hours yesterday figuring out that my Kaspersky which is paid up for the next two years is not compatible because my back-up disc is too old. Worst part is when I went on F.A. and saw how awful my pictures look. The default resolution on my computer is 125%. I don't know if that is standard on all window 8s or just mine, but it makes the pictures blurry. Not just mine but others, too. But if I put it to 100%, everything is too small so I keep having to adjust the resolution. Also the colors on F.A. are just horrid now. On my last laptop, all the images were so beautiful and true to the original. Now my pictures look washed out, fuzzy and a sickly yellow- green. There is no option to change the tint. Why, I don't know, but there isn't. Is this what you have been seeing? If so, I apologize because I had no idea. And I don't know what to do about it. Any thoughts? Should I get out now while I still can?
