Oh and I have a questions for you.

Is there any way that I can get a toolbar for Google Chrome?
Any particular one? You can install the Google Toolbar, of course. - https://support.google.com/toolbar/?hl=en#topic=3338424

Any other one probably is a case by case basis depending on which one. I don't use toolbars, so not really sure what's popular or used much.

Oh, and by the way, the wasted space on the sites when on Pogo is because Pogo (and most websites) are built for a specific maximum width. The main thing with a larger monitor is more "space" to work with. When my parents decided to get a new monitor, I forced them to get one no bigger than 17" (and square, not widescreen) because they only use it for the internet or playing simple card games (solitaire, etc) for precisely that reason.

You may want to look into increasing size of the text in Chrome and/or adjusting the DPI setting in your Display control panel area (not sure what it's called/where it is in Win8+).

Well I got the NEW computer for the twins.

Just had a few problems...

There was no address bar or menu bar. I am not an idiot but it took me hours to figure out how to get them and make them stay. They make them auto-hide and you have to lock them in place.

When I got the NEW computer, I made sure I got Windows 8.1 so that there was no learning curve. Wrong!!!  Mine is a Lenovo and the NEW one is a Dell. Very different, in my opinion.

Mine has a 20" screen. The Dell has a 24" screen. So somewhere in my mind I was thinking that the print would be easier to see. Wrong!!! It may be bigger but when I go to POGO I have about 5" of dead space on the left and right.

OK that is my rant for the day. If I think of more, I will be back.

Greetings,
Is it true that MicroSoft will skip Windows 9 and go right to Windows 10?  Windows 8 was a GIANT step backwards for them

ON to the next topic,
S1lent

When I did the updates to go from Win 8 to Win 8.1 it was 57 updates and took over 3 hours so in essence Win 8.1 really is Win 9. Because of my disabilities I was a beta user from Win 3.1 (back in 1992). But after 65 of us were so vocal while beta testing Vista, they decided they no longer "needed" beta testers and just released it as the worst Windows ever.

Good tip DL. I don't use Win8 (or 8.1) but there are almost always ways around things like that with Windows. Someone usually figures out a hack for it that is quite easy (or one is actually built in) but most people think what it is is what it is. it's amazing what you can find with a basic Google search, as far as finding answers to many different kinds of computer questions.

My hands are a painful issue as the day goes by so I hated that Win 8.1 makes you keep signing in. Found this and it works - mine automatically signs me me each time it boots:


Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)

Enter SIGN, and then tap or click Change sign-in options.

Choose the sign-in option you'd like to use, and then follow the instructions.

if anyone knows more about processors, please chime in. Now that I think about it, the processor cache would only matter with commonly accessed/used data such as operating system itself. Everything else would go through the RAM.

if the PC you choose has 4GB of RAM, you might want to consider upgrading that to 8 though. It's really easy to install...instructions are all over the net (with pictures). if it comes to that, I can help you pick out the right RAM and find detailed instructions. Just feel free to ask.

Yeah, that's all with one (or two) browsers though, right? I'm talking more like having multiple programs open at once, that are intensive. Like Photoshop or MS-Access and others all open at the same time. The only slow downs you'd have with multiple internet windows is due to the browser itself, most likely, and/or the speed of your internet connection.

I know on my Lenovo I usually have 10-20 windows open and I don't have any problems 99% of the time.
Mostly just websites like pogocheats, facebook, yahoo, and yahoo mail.

Really the only difference is the cache size for the processor. The more cache, the faster the PC will be, at least that's my understanding of it. I don't really know a whole lot about chips, other than speed (3.0+GHz is preferable now days) and that a 6MB cache chip will be "faster" than a 3MB cache chip. But also more expensive. The cache number is basically the same thing as RAM, but it stores it in the processor rather than using the RAM itself because it's faster that way.

Bottom line, 6 is "faster" than 3 for multitasking, but it's doubtful you'd notice it unless you are running intensive programs at the same time as each other.

Sue the Dell is pretty much the same computer you bought last time. Only real difference is that the Dell has a wireless internet card, the Lenovo didn't. Same hard drive, RAM, basically the same processor.

The Lenovo you have is Win8 and the new Dell would be Win8.1, so really no learning curve there at all. Win7 and Win8 are quite different initially, but Win8(.1) can be changed to make it look more like 7 if you need it that way. Since your Lenovo is 8 I would think you already know how to use that then, right?

I say go for it on the Dell if you are fine with basically the same computer as far as specs go. It shouldn't have any issues with anything you want it for. Games should be fine on it for sure.
