Reply to Are SSD’s worth it? Answer: YES in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Just wanted to say if you want to buy SSD´s cheap you may get lucky as i was on cyber monday week sales on amazon... 128gb ( samsung 830 series ) for 60 euros thats pretty damn cheap... ohh and i recently got a ADATA Premier Pro SP900 (256) and it crosses the 500 read/write mark for me ( 522/512 ) attached it to my rig, booted up and it worked like a charm, i can only recommend it. Now all you hear from my pc is the Noctua cooler draging air through the tower [e digicons]:th

Im a windows person i have tried my luck with linux and i also have a macbook pro but in the end i like windows its nice and easy to use and does the job same as the others. Sure there will be a new windows version but as you said its more of 2 -3 year period... I dont see any major flaws/failures in windows7 or in windows8 therefore i dont struggle with the thought of staying on both of them for a while. What i was trying to say is when a operationsystem is created in less than a y

windows9 ? there is no windows9, there is only a name ["Blue"] and Blue is most likely a servicepack that will be Win8.1-8.5 i doubt that there will be a new personal OS in the very near future since Blue is dated to arrive in summer 2013 or later. If MS makes a new OS in that short period i will be gladly sticking with my windows8...

[quote who="Darksxx" reply="37" id="3280656"] LOL, great answer. but the real answer will be Windows 9, after Microsoft realizes what a piece of shit win 8 is and fails miserably with most everyone. BTW, Star-dock came out with a great little program called Start8. it fixes what MS should have or should be adding back into windows 8 in the first place.[/quote] i think this is the perfect example to my previous post...and shows that MS has no

The release of windows8 was ( not as good as planned ) not because windows8 is bad compared to windows7 it has to do with the information on MS side that explains how to use it. The Developer preview, consumer preview, release preview and release to Manufacture all didnt have a clear tutorial that offered the basic and advanced understanding how the product is to be used... they seem to have thought people are familiar with the phone interface already and shouldn´t have any problem

Thanks for the video Doc. The pen tool isnt as great in PS as it is in Illustrator and i dont understand why.. If i use the pen tool in illustrator and i make a curve ( you will end up having 2 handles one on the right and one on the left of the ankor point now i can simply click on the anker point again to delete the handle i dont want but the curve i created will stay the same and i can continue with the pen tool without affect of the handle that had just been deleted, sadly photoshop

Sure but you can work with vectors in Photoshop also, still the vectors will be pixelated when you make the finished image but you can get a little more detail than usual depending on angle you can work with 1/2 pixel if you use vectors in PS... also i like the pen tool much more in illustrator since you can adjust the path later on dont know if photoshop can do that also in such an easy way.
