[NJARC] Today it ends!

[Joe Giliberti]

I have a Windows 8 laptop that has a touchscreen. I found that I never use
the touchscreen. I hated windows 8, but I found a program that makes it
almost like Windows 7. At the very least give you a start menu which I was
missing a lot. I think its called Start8. From what I remember it cost
about $5 and again it give you the comforts of home. And just in case
anyone is thinking, I do not represent the company nor do I have any vested
interest in it. It just helps me a lot and prevented me from paying $100 to
downgrade to Windows 7.
