You'll get used to it. One thing that makes it easier is to create a re-start and a shutdown shortcut on your desktop.

I live in desktop mode. Hardly ever go into metro. You can make it start up in desktop mode and it is basically windows 7. Which isn't saying much.
 
5 mins. And I'm ready to send back! !! I thought I disliked 7 but this is stupid. Going to take forever to figure how to get all this crap off of it. Starting with Norton
 
How do you find the control panel? I want to uninstall Norton & a ton of other crap

You're telling me there wasn't one single person who had that pass by them and thought, "So many options."

Supposedly Target is giving a $200 credit for trading in an iPad (including first gen) towards a new iPad. As long as the screen is not cracked and it boots up, the $200 is a sure deal until Saturday. They also throw in a $25 gift card. Good chance to upgrade for a decent deal. I don't have an iPad, but I figured I'd spread the word. No link... sorry

You can add 5% rebate if you sign up for their red card linked to your checking account. Not sure how I feel about that yet, but 5% back on every cash transaction with them is interesting.

We shop a lot at super target. We save over $500 per year with the red card debit. No brainer for us. Only wish we'd started sooner. (Signed up mid-2012).
 
Question for you guys about the red card debit.
Obviously it is not a credit card, as I have plenty of those, and a debit straight to account similar to what we have with Nordstroms. I love the cash back idea, but can someone explain why they need to pull your credit for that? My wife and I both have very good credit, but getting it pulled for something that is linked to our checking out seems rather intrusive.

I can't imagine. I don't have one yet, but we shop there often enough to make it worthwhile. I may check it out tonight and see what happens. I suppose it could be a way of verification and fighting fraud. Maybe they have a "bill me later" option and do a check up front.

It doesn't make sense for just a debit card though.
 
I think a massage chair is going to come before a 70" TV.
 
I don't recall a credit check at all for the debit card, though it could be a recent addition since we've had ours over a year now.

As of this afternoon we're saved over $291 in 2013 at target on money we would have spent anyway. Love it. That's airfare to a thp invitational. ;)
 
I stopped pondering and bought a new tv for my bedroom. Got a 47 inch vizio led and I am beyond impressed. Great picture and the smart features are easy to use. Was on sale at wal mart for 575.

I'll go to a mall just to visit a Brookstone! The zero g spot comment kinda made me chuckle
 
I need some laptop advice:

I'm starting a masters degree program in the spring/summer and will need a laptop to carry around for working on papers during the day or on the couch at home, etc. We've got an iMac and iPhones, etc. but I don't really want to spend the money on an Apple laptop since I'm pretty much only going to be using it for word processing, email, some THPing - you know, the important things. With Black Friday deals coming out I thought I might go ahead and get one while they're cheap.

What kind of minimum specs should I be looking for? Any brands to avoid like the plague?
 
Verizon Wireless!!!
You can suck it!
