WTF? Lost a long post and could NOT get it back. Recapped it and posted it and the page refreshed and it's not here??? How appropriate! Here is the recap...

Oh sweet Jaysus! That WHOLE post is gone forever? I got back to the page and it's just gone. Screw all the stuff I said about my hour messing with the broken auto update in WIN8... I am sure they will fix it. Odd that FIXit is not supported by my present operating system!!!!

Re "We've had an infusion of extra cash - I'm going to revisit the devices and larger touch screens and see where we can apply this with the most effect for Art.", I am SOOOO happy to hear that. The $ donated is to get Art the best he can have. Get it. Get more than he needs. He's worth it.

I have thoughts about the external hard drive. Perhaps it could be sourced locally by Chris so that if MY problems happen with Art's LT, it can be easily returned for a refund until the manufacturers catch up to WIN8? And, mine did work but I had to plug it in over and over until my LT saw it. I think (?) the problems will get fixed by update... but that's a guess, at best.

NOW... I shall copy the above before I submit message. Sometimes I forget and fate fucks me over.
