Sorry you had problems, Harry. I installed first on my MBP using Parallels 7. No problems at all, works great, but you need to skip the Express install. I was surprised that everything worked and I didn't even run Parallels Tools. Even my Logitech marble mouse worked. When I did the custom install, I allowed Win8 to discovery all my devices and download any needed drivers automatically.
Then, I installed on a three year old netbook and a 5 year old laptop. Works great on those too. This impressed me, given that Apple ML won't work on anything earlier than a late 08 MBP or the early MBA.
I was a little upset that the CP won't work with some of my legacy Win software, but that will be fixed in the final version.
Win8 looks really great for a tablet or a laptop with a Magic Trackpad. It also looks like a big learning curve unless you want to live in the Desktop mode. But, it is also a lot of fun. However, I wonder how the general public will receive Win8. Maybe MS will have an easy way to address this.
I need a *real* tablet, not an iPad or an Android, so maybe Win8 is in my future. Wouldn't it be great if Apple made a real tablet that could run the x86 version of Win8 and also OS X. I might even dump by iPhone and Android phones (HTC, Samsung and Motorola) and start using a WinPhone if they can get things integrated really well. But, I am solidly behind my Apple computers, no chance of abandoning them. And, I will get an iPad 3 (or HD or whatever they call it) and enjoy it, and my Android tablets, for what they are.

I gave the install another go this evening. After about 45 minutes, the Win 8 installer proceeded and finally was able to install it under Bootcamp, not a virtual machine. I have Fusion and Parallels, as I have beta tested for both in the past. I never thought to try those.
It does work. It's a confusing thing though. Metro or Aero?? We shall see.

Thank you all. Upon opening my messages this morning I found 12 thoughtful replies but just then we lost power due to a windstorm. On returning later the count had doubled. You have provided several very useful links to follow. For my part, I believe I will try my best to divorce myself from Google although that is a bit like cutting off my nose to spite my face. I will first have to notify my numerous correspondents of a different address. I don't suppose gmail provides an "I have moved" service :-). Can I retrieve several years of messages that are archived? Are they worth keeping? (Some are, I know but ... )
Thanks again to all who responded.

There is controversy currently about the changes Google has made to their privacy policy. Some say it threatens privacy, others say it makes no difference. Having been brought to our attention, has privacy been compromised already? Personally, my attempts to gently disentangle myself are proving difficult but I have a lot invested in my gmail address.

You can run but you can't hide. They will find you, anytime you are out of your home you are being watched with video cameras along with face recognition, they can track you almost all of the time. Trying to hide is futile, we will fine you.
The problem is you can't resist the free stuff and the peer pressure, you will be waisting your time. Just give in. Ha, ha, ha.

Confusion might help. Every time you need to do a search using Google, do
two other meaningless searches on different topics. That should muddy the
waters a bit; make it more difficult for the data gatherers to categorize
you.

Before you quit Google, maybe, you could use Apple Mail, or some other email app to download all your archived messages, and erase them from Google's server.
I wouldn't use use web-based mail...I prefer using an email app. It's so much more convenient. I use Gyazmail, but Apple Mail is fine, I suppose. I have mine set up to download my mail and delete from my ISP's server. If I need to, I can always access my unread mail at my ISP from any location by going to my account at my ISP.

Regarding privacy in these times..there is an interesting article in The Guardian today -
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technolog y/2012/mar/ 03/police- blacklist- link-constructio n-workers
The article points out the collusion between the UK police or Security Services and giant construction firms which resulted in the blacklisting of workers who attempted to highlight safety issues on work sites. The blacklist kept thousands of people out of work for the past three decades.
This is not directly connected to our discussion of internet privacy as it started 30 years ago, but the article points out how information about can be used to limit people's opportunities, and how gestures, meant to be in the best interest of humanity, can be used to ruin peoples lives.
The idea that "I have nothing to hide" leads directly to the question, "Who is judging?".

Whenever you want shareware you can just go to http://download.cnet.com or http://www.macupdate.com and most likely find it. For either one, just type the name of the program in the search field in the upper right corner of the site's window.

There's that, definitely. You couldn't be expected to know this from
my original post, but the camera (Panasonic DMC-ZS8) came with a
brief quick-start booklet, and the full manual as a PDF on CD. I
quickly found that reading it on-screen just didn't cut it, and I
phoned Panasonic and ordered a hard copy. Including taxes and
shipping, it'll set me back ~$30, and it's back-ordered, so it'll
take 2 or 3 weeks from the time of order. I think it should have come
with the camera, and the price is exorbitant, but that's another
discussion.
I'll certainly try your export-massage-delete-reimport suggestion,
thanks.

JPEG is lossy but is not lower resolution (pixel dimensions) unless you
choose it to be.
RAW just means straight from the sensor. It has no more resolution than a
TIFF.
I don't have a DSLR, just a compact, but I don't understand setting dpi on
a camera. Surely it's meaningless without the actual dimensions?

I couldn't play an audioclip on Wikipedia and I was directed to download XiphQT, which I did. I chose to download the larger-size one, not the version described as 'only decoders'.
I still can't get the Wikipedia audioclip to play. How do I get my plugin to work?
Thanx. Oneal

I use the Verizon Mobile which I got when I got my iPad2 3G. I got it so my mom could access the internet on her laptop when we travel. It's $50 a month and a 2-year contract. I've also come to realize I can't always download stuff on the 3G alone but the mifi does it. We're gone about 3 months a year. There are better deals out there I think - the Virgin for one.

moving Mail to a new computer

Got a new Mini and a friend who knows WAY more than I do about computers installed it for me, installed a switch so I can go from my old G4 (until I get all the new software I need for the Mini) to the Mini. He also moved all my emails and email addresses from Mail in the G4 to the Mini but couldn't figure how to move the groups I'd made in Mail. The G4 is apparently too old to use Migration Assistant and it doesn't have Time Machine, either, which is apparently another way to do that. Does anyone know how to do that?

I would have started with the basic state the Mini came in, booted the G4 into Firewire Target Disk Mode, and run Migration Assistant on the *Mini*.
This would transfer your entire User account to the Mini from the G4. Then you run Mail on the Mini to update the accounts.
