What a hassle that Windows 8 won't even support a ctrl-c (copy) and ctrl-v (paste) operation? I don't understand that at all. I suppose at worst case you could just type in your new blog's URL. Although I have to say: does this mean you'll no longer being hanging out here much? I suppose that's to be expected?

First off I started the other blog because I could not copy-n-paste into this site. Thought I could provide the link to WordPress but that failed too. Soooo long story short I returned the laptop and got my money back.

In regards to leaving here, not way, not how sister :-) was not even a remote thought.

Well it's back to the drawing board for ways to communicate here while in California.

Psst: Windows does support copy and paste but for some odd reason does not for this site along, tried it on several others, they all worked just fine.

Psssssst: Did I mention the mouse was locking up, that was the final straw.

Hahaha! You and me, sister, we're sticking it out here on TG Guide!

That's so weird, the problem with copy/paste. Seems to work fine for me, either with iPad or iMac. It's just ASCII text so it should be fine of course with anything. I'm glad you returned that laptop although I can't imagine what's going on with it.

Best of luck to you, finding a decent Windows machine these days. Cheap, yes, but Windows is no fun. :-)
