Hi Dallas: Yes, you are absolutely right. I forgot to mention those commands in my prior e-mail, but all the same things in Windows 8 are very easy once you are made aware of commands like Windows+t to jump to the Taskbar or the Windows+1 through Windows+0 commands to launch apps from the Taskbar. Now that I have learned how easy Windows 8 is I wouldn't trade it for XP any day of the week. It is the people who don't know about all the extra accessibility under the hood that are still dragging their heals and complaining about how much worse Windows 8 is when they simply don't know what in blazes they are talking about.
Cheers!
