Windows 8

[dweebken]

I realize this is a Windows 7 Newsgroup but I have not been able to
locate a Windows 8 Newsgroup. Maybe someone here can steer me in the
right direction.

Try:
alt.comp.os.window-8
Works for me on Eternal-September

I recently bought a new Hewlett Packard p7-1446s PC desktop computer
and have been getting all my old client software installed onto it.
Things are going very well and I do like Windows 8 in most respects.

One problem I've been stumbling over is that if I go away and let
this
new computer drop into sleep mode it won't start back up when I move
the mouse or click some keyboard keys. I've changed the mouse and
keyboard to see if this would make any difference but it did no, in
either case.

Any suggestions, anyone? Or, where can I find a Windows 8 Newsgroup
and look for information there?

Thanks, Gordon

Get a Mac.

FISH ON!!!!!!! HE JUST COULDN'T"T STOP HIMSELF FROM BITING!!!!+

I hope their computers are better than their crap mobiles.

I guess that's why Apple is leading in sales. The public enjoys
buying lousy things with their hard earned money.

HE CAME BACK AND HIT AGAIN!!!!!!! Real fish - so much smarter.

But still a company that has made a profit out of the sale and has a
legal responsibility to provide support and warranty.

There is always the possibility that the system was sold at a
loss.

Indeed, but how many businesses do you know that survive by selling
items at a loss particularly in the retail market

What legal responsibility? There might be a contract, but not
necessarily.

In the UK at least when you buy an item there are certain legal rights
and responsibilities.

Loss leader is a possibility. I saw the numbers for an
electronics store in town. The gross profit for a laptop is very low.
I expect that they end up losing a bit on them and that they hope to
make it up on other items.

In the UK at least when you buy an item there are certain legal rights
and responsibilities.

And I bet that these rights are far less than what most people
think. The reason that companies have support is that they figure
that it will help them. It is not a right.

Apple is good stuff, but costs about twice as much as it competition of
similar quality. But that higher price is precisely what attracts the
market segment that buys Apple products.

Marketers know that there is a significant segment of the market that
wants its toys to be overpriced so that the unwashed 47% can't afford to
buy them. The higher price testifies to the higher quality of the buyer,
obviously.

After all, you get what you pay for, right?

Not.

So, of the "washed 53%", still only 14.9% buy Apple, so still well under
1/3 of the "washed" market share!!

The legal position will depend on jurisdiction. Certainly the UK Sale
of Goods Act makes no distinction between goods sold at a profit and
goods sold at a loss.
