Windows 8 Laptop

The design of Microsoft Windows 8 is nice.  However, I do not like that the integrated mail program does not work with POP mail.  The only solution is to download a different mail app.  I like Windows Live Mail that is included in Windows Essentials 2012 found at Microsoft.com.  After installing Windows Live Mail,  my POP account was up and running again.

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess

This is my first Zelda game for the Nintendo Wii.  I was pleasently surprised with the ease of control.  The graphics are very good and gameplay is smooth.  Some sceene changes take a while to get through and you can not just skip them.  I will continue to play this game and post some updates here.
