Fiddlers continues on page 10
Is it an instrument? Is it a crab? Is it a person?According to Sullivans Island native EugeniaJeanie Truesdale Heath, the ddler is all three.
In her delightful new book The Fiddlers of SullivansIsland, Heath explores the secret world of the ddlercrab. Narrated by Scurry the crab, the story startslong before humans stepped foot on the heavenlySullivans Island and culminates in the present day.Part nature book, part childrens book and part historybook, Surrys story encapsulates an island long gone,irrevocably changed by the footprint of humans.
But this is no preachy eco-warrior tome, it is simplya homage to the tiny little indomitable creature whose
Kindergarten student Talia Holiday helped Heath il lustrate the
book by acting out sections of the story. Here she shows how
children used to play with the creatures.

Mayoralcandidates gohead to head
BY JENNIFER TUOHY
ISLAND EYE NEWS EDITOR
Residents of the Isle of Palms crowded intothe Exchange Club on Palm BoulevardMonday night for a debate between mayoral
candidates Dick Cronin and Ryan Buckhannon.
Moderated by Mary Horrse, Treasurer of TheLeague of Women Voters and sponsored byLucky Dog News, publishers of Island Eye News,the forum was comprised of written questionssubmitted anonymously by the audience.
Bathed in the waning sunlight reectedthrough three large picture windows looking outover the intracoastal waterway the debate beganwith some ceremony.
The rst question posed was how would youproceed if Stantec, the parking consultant,recommends the removal of all obstacles frompublic rights of way? Both candidates werein agreement that the pressure is on SCDOTto enforce the right of way or give the city theauthority to do so.
Of the questions that followed during the 60minute debate, none sparked a great deal of
dissension between the candidates. Althoughbudgetary discussions did reveal differencesin the candidates views on how city funds aredistributed. Buckhannon contended the city hadbeen borrowing too heavily from tourism funds,something he would address moving forward.Cronin, the current mayor, contended thosefunds werent being borrowed, as they are notgoing to be paid back, and that they were mostlydirected to expenditure related to supporting theimpact of tourism on the island.
A timely question about the impact of theBiggert Waters Flood Insurance Reform actallowed Cronin to break the news that the Houseof Representatives had just passed a four yearextension on the act. This will alleviate immediatepressure on what would have been a big problemfor us, as over 30 percent of the properties on thisisland will be affected, Cronin said.
"It was going to devastate the island if we didn'tget this four year extension, Buckhannon said.What they are doing now is issuing a nancialfeasibility study, which was supposed to be donebefore the act went into effect.
For more questions from the evening andexcerpts from the candidates answers visit www.islandeyenews.com. The Isle of Palms electiontakes place Tues., Nov. 5.

The Isle of Palms City Council weretreated to a presentation on the healthof the citys nances at last weeks
city council meeting. Brightening up theproceedings were the breast cancer awarenessdecorations, courtesy of city administratorLinda Tucker, which found each council
members nameplate replaced with a brightpink one, and breast cancer awareness
ribbons adorning the dias.Y'all should be very proud, said Genia
Kornegay of Greene, Finney and Horton, asshe presented her rms independent audit of
the city.The rm issued an unmodied opinion,
which is the best a city can get. The generalfund balance of $10.7 million increasedfrom the previous year, and has $2.4 million
classied as unassigned. As a coastalcommunity its important to have an adequatefund balance, explained Kornegay, and theIOPs is in excellent health.
For the year ending June 30, 2013, thecity had revenues of $13.3 million andexpenses of $10.9 million, with the mostsignicant spending occurring in the publicsafety budget. Its assets total $38.5 million,
an increase of $600,000, andit carries $14.3 million inliabilities. The citys generalfund expenditure was $8.2million. Joining the consolidateddispatch operations of Charleston Countycost $292,000, but will be partially offset byreduction in payroll expenses.
Other topics discussed at the meetingincluded a recommendation that engineerslook at an alternative location for the proposedpublic restrooms, which would put them outof the Zone V ood zone.
A resolution imploring Congress to delay
implementation of the Biggert Waters FloodInsurance Reform Act until an affordabilitystudy can be implemented was approved.
Hopefully with the hue and cry going
up along the coast something thats morepalatable can be passed, Mayor Cronin said.
The IOP re department was roundly laudedfor their excellent presentations to variouscommittees on the need for increased salariesand new positions at the department. Theissue will be taken up further at Novemberscouncil meeting.
Im looking forward to making our
reghters rst class in every aspect,
including compensation, Mayor Cronin said.A motion to increase the frequency of
monitoring the erosion at Breach Inlet wascarried.
The dock replacement at Tidal Wave
Watersports will not move forward this yearas some safety issues must be resolved rst.

More flming, less sailingSI TOWN COUNCI L MOVES FO RWARD
ON AMENDMENTS AND RATIFICATIONS
BY JENNIFER TUOHYISLAND EYE NEWS EDITOR
If Hollywood studios and globalad agencies are going to getrich off shots of our beautiful
island, we should get somethingout of it. That appears to be thetheory behind the new ordinancediscussed at the Oct. 15 meetingof the Sullivans Island Towncouncil.
The Council unanimouslyapproved the rst reading toamend the current ordinancethat governs franchise fees forlming on the Island and imposea permit fee of $1,500 or 1 percentof the gross expenditure per day,
whichever is greater. This willapply to the lming of motionpictures, made for televisionmovies, television series andcommercials on the island. The feefor still commercial photographywill be $500. No lming may beconducted in the RC-1/RC-2zoning districts or on the beach.
In other business, the rstreading of a 2 percent increase
to business license fees wasapproved, the second reading andratication of an ordinance toban commercialactivity of anykind on thebeaches, andto repeal thesections ofthe ordinancewhich allowedsailing regattas was passed. Itwas determined that organizedsailing events do not contributeto family-orientated uses of thebeaches and organizations prot
from them, creating a commercialactivity. Councilmen ChaunceyClark dissented, saying he didntbelieve in getting rid of sailing.
A resolution approving a 5percent increase of rates and feesfor the building and planningdepartment was passed, effectiveOct. 15.
Phase one of the ProtectedLand Active Management Projects
was approved. Essentiallya management plan for theprotected coastal forest, the
projects are managed by the SILand Use and Natural ResourcesCommittee. Phase one includesa list of 10 projects, includinginstalling an educational walking
path at Station 16 west, which isalready partially completed, anda nature centre.
Were not writing a checkfor all these things now, but weare moving forward with gettingdesigns and plans done, PatONeil, chair of the LUNARcommittee, said.

O
ne day this past September,students from the UniversitySchool of the Lowcountry
in Mount Pleasant learned moreabout erosion, accretion and marinescience through an exploration ofFolly Beach Park and the northerntip and north central section ofSullivan's Island.
In the morning, students visitedFolly Beach. Folly Beach hasbeen affected by recent stormslike Irene and Sandy, which havecaused signicant erosion and thetemporary closure of the countypark. During the school's lastvisit in 2010, students saw thatongoing erosion had claimed mostof the park's paved parking lot -although it was still several feetabove the beach itself.
This day of exploration allowedstudents to see that the parkinglot was obliterated and that theelevation of the park and thebeach itself were now the same.Bo Petersen, Post and Courierenvironmental reporter, met the studentsthere to share his insight from his researchand stories on the issue at Folly Beach.Students appreciated hearing from him and
learning how re-nourishment of the beachis underwritten by the federal governmentbecause the normal erosion/accretion cyclehas been affected by the jetties in place toprotect the mouth of Charleston Harbor.
In the afternoon, students traveled to twoparts of Sullivan's Island. Sullivan's Islandfaces erosion on the northern end of the
island and substantial accretion in centraland southern parts. The accreted areas arehighly contested because they have spawnededgling maritime forests, and these areseen as desirable (more vibrant ecosystemand buffer areas to protect the barrier islandin future storms) and detrimental (affectingproperty values by limiting ocean views andallowing for rats and other creatures to takeroot and multiply) by different groups onSullivan's Island.
Students were able to see the effects oferosion by walking in and around the areaof Breach Inlet. They then ended the day byslowly walking the Station 27 beach accesspath to analyze and explore the forest,
its characteristics, the distance to thebeach, etc. in order to gain a rst-handunderstanding of the various perspectiveson the accreted land and the forest.
A hallmark of University School is theLearning Outside the Classroom program,
which entails 30 eld trips per year forexperiential learning for the students. By

What inspires an artist ora chef? Where do theyget their ideas? George
Harrison got the idea for the songWhile My Guitar Gently Weepsby opening a book in his parentslibrary and randomly pointing tothe phrase gently weeping. Paul
McCartneys conversation with acab driver who described his busylife as Working hard, workingeight days a week became a hitsong. Dave Brubecks encounterwith the exotic rhythms ofMiddle Eastern and Indian musicinspired the meter-busting TakeFive.
If you ask some of the 25 artistsand seven chefs who will be atCreative Sparks Art on the Beachand Chefs in the Kitchen tour,
theyll tellyou that
inspiration comes from somesurprising places. Like beingdistracted. For example, this
years poster artist Carol McGillwas painting colorful houseswhen her eyes were drawn to awhite one nearby just as a shaftof sunlight struck the tin roof.Thats what I wanted to capture,she said. All those hot colors. IfI drove you to that house, youwould insist it couldnt be theone on the poster. Artists noticethese things.
Chef Jane Smith, who providesdesserts for the Toast the ArtistsReception that ends the tourthrew her plan for a FarmersMarket demo out the windowwhen she saw the variety of
tomatoes being sold. Instead ofmaking salads, I set up a tomatotasting station complete withcondiments and herbs. People,
including growers, lingeredand told stories of their familytraditions. Many seemed to besearching for a match with a tastememory of a childhood tomato.Flexibility paid off.
Although the beach at sunrisewas her intended subject, a eld
of brightly colored wildowers
caught Deanna Walters eyealong the way. Especially onesolitary yellow one. The one
yellow ower represents the
viewer. Even among all the otherowers, each one of us is lovely
and unique she thought. Thepainting Wildowers has this
deeper meaning.Other artists also told of
profound insights that weresparked by unlikely scenes.
Take Kristy Bishop. If you saw aholey, woody skeleton of a bushwould you be inspired? She was.

A walk down memory laneBY THE NPS
FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
explored the idea of what is left
behind when life ends. This is art
that speaks with emotion.
Sandy Logans photograph
was sparked by a mystery. While
examining the ruins of a house
being torn down I noticed the
strange outline of what appeared
to be a post box near the top of
the stair. The arched shape wasonly about two inches deep,
thus not allowing for either mail
or some reliquary to be placed
therein. Clearly, something else
had been its early purpose, but
what? Through his eyes, the
mystery became art.
Art can be transformative
too. After an injury ended hercareer as an EMT, D. Page
started creating with glass. Her
whimsical art was an antidote
to the recovery she endured.
The recycled materials she uses
resonate with her situation, Like
me, my art is not ready to be put
out to pasture. We are working
on our second chance at life, she
said.
Skip Shaffer was inspired by
family heritage, the memory of
his grandmother making spicy
crab cakes at the legendary
Henrys Restaurant. Her recipe
for Henrys Crab Cakes was
preserved for decades as a family
treasure. Skips father turned
it into a business, selling the
delicious creations to a few
restaurants. But last year Skip
took it to the next level with his
creative input. Now sold in several
supermarkets, it has become anew career and a passion for him
which hes eager to let patrons
taste.
To kick off the fundraiser,
Creative Spark has begun a
community mural on Sullivans
Island. The headline I Am
Inspired By has prompted
passers-by to write: the barrierislands and animals, playing
with my sister, running the
island, my new school, upbeat
music and dozens more. During
the November 10 event, the
mural will be one of 12 stops
on the self-guided tour across
Sullivans Island, which includes
extraordinary houses, artists
studios and two after-parties.
Creative Sparks motto is
Everyone has a creative spark.
Art on the Beach is a great place
to ignite yours.

Weve heard year after year around Halloween how toxicchocolate can be for pets that gobble it up after your child getshome from trick or treat. Chocolate is an obvious no no
for all pets, no matter the quantity or light, dark or white chocolate.But there are lesser-known Halloween hazards to look out for
Sugarless: Better for kids but very bad for pets. Whether itssugarless candy, gummy bears or sugarless gum, all may contain
xylitol which is dangerous to both cats and dogs. It is very toxicand causes an insulin surge, leading to low blood sugar. Severecases develop liver failure and severe bleeding into your dog or catsabdomen. Even worse, pets that have eaten sugarless candy dontshow symptoms right away so you may not know anything is wronguntil they start showing symptoms of lethargy, seizures or blood loss.
Raisins: Chocolate-covered raisins are particularly appealingto dogs and cats and even a few treats containing raisins can causekidney failure. Any raisin ingestion should be treated aggressively.Fortunately, dogs and cats that are treated immediately after ingestionmay recover without potentially fatal complications.
Macadamia nuts: These are bad for our canine friends.A dog thats gobbled up baked goods containing macadamia oftenhas gastrointestinal toxicity initially characterized by vomiting anddiarrhea. If left unchecked, dogs will develop tremors, trouble walking,high temperatures and seizures. The good news? If treated, dogs can
recover quickly from their run-in with macadamiasusually withinabout 48 hours.
Wrappers: The candy is now home, you have inspected thewrappers and everything looks good. Make sure, however, your petsdont get a close look! Cats are attracted to the crunchy sounds ofshrink wrap and dogs are known to eat not only the candy, but theplastic, foil or in some cases, even the entire Halloween plastic bagused to gather up treats.

motto many of todays Islanderscould take inspiration from:
We would never be overtakenby anyone or anything. We wouldstick together through thick andthin, beach sand and salt water,pluff mud and marsh grass.
The Fiddlers of SullivansIslandcame out of Heaths questto write her memoirs. As she waswriting her story, she discoveredanothers waiting to be told.
Raised on Sullivans Islandin the 1940s and 50s, Heathrecalls that people who grew upon the Island were known asddlers. On man she met whileresearching her memoirs toldher one of his mothers favorite
sayings:Son, no matter what, you
always remember if anyone asks,you tell them, you is a Fiddle.Once a Fiddler, always a Fiddler.
She has a deep connectionto the fragile barrier island,especially its pluff mud.
My mother was lunch roommanager at Sullivans Islandschool for many years, and myfather became the bridge tenderin 1947, she said. My rootsare very deep in the pluff mudhoney.
Its those roots that pulled herfocus to this tiny spec of Sullivans
Island history. Fascinated by the
pungent aroma that is a signatureof the barrier islands, it was onlynatural that her attention bedrawn to the creatures that livewithin it.
Having grown up on MyrtleAvenue, Heath moved to MountPleasant in 1993, where sheowned Heath Farms ProduceMarket and Bakery with herhusband, Alec. For many yearsshe worked for Kinder CareLearning Centers, retiring asdistrict manager for Charlestonand Savannah.
Heath self-published TheFiddlers of Sullivans Island withthe aid of Createspace.com andOfce Express Inc. in Mount
Pleasant. She also solicitedmany locals to help her with theproject, including Isle of Palmsartist John Albrecht, whose workappears on the cover.
Heath admits the process ofself-publishing was a challengingone, and there were a few timeswhen she almost gave up, butScurry and his family, along withscores of children and adults whowill fall in love with this book, areglad she didnt.
The Fiddlers of SullivansIsland is available at Royal AceHardware, Barnes & Noble and

Cassandra King and Mary
Alice Monroe, two of theLowcountrys best-known
authors, started their careers as
teachers. Although both say they
knew they wanted to be writers
from a young age, like a lot of
people they worked in other areas
before nding their true calling.
The similarities dont end
there; both women published
their rst novels in 1995. King
published Making Waves, which
was actually part of her Masters
thesis, a compilation of short
stories turned into a book. Making
Wavesalso introduced King to her
husband, novelist Pat Conroy,
whom she met when he wrote ablurb for the story. They now live
in Beaufort, S.C. Monroes rst
novel was also a family affair.
When pregnancy forced months
of bed rest, her husband urged
her to write the novel she had
imagined. The book, A Long Road
Home, was just the rst of many.
King and Monroe each had
novels released this past summer.Kings Moonrise is a homage to
Daphne du Mauriers Rebecca.
King was inspired to write
Moonrise when she found herself
staying alone in old home in
Highlands, N.C.. By chance, King
had du Mauriers classic with her
on her trip and that, along with
some spooky encounters in the
house itself, brought Moonrise
to life. The southern gothic novel
is somewhat of a departure for
King, but the exploration of the
darker side of friends and family
was one she felt to be a universal
experience and one that should
be explored. The result has beenvery well received by her readers.
While Kings book was a
departure, MonroesSummerGirls
takes her readers back where
they seem to like it best - the
beach. A prequel to her bestseller
The Beach House, Summer Girls
tells an unforgettable tale of the
summer of 1974 in Charleston
and on the Isle of Palms, whereMonroe lives.
For Monroe, an active
environmentalist, the story
always begins with an animal. In
Summer Girls, Monroe explores
the dangers faced by the wild
dolphin that inhabit our coast.
The main characters in the book,
grandmother Marietta Muir and
her three somewhat estranged
granddaughters, nd their lives
changed by this magnicent
animal. Like Kings Moonrise, the
book explores some of the feelings
of isolation we can encounter
from those who should love us
the most.Both women say that their
relationships, particularly
with other women, help shape
their novels. While working on
Moonrise, King experienced a
falling out with a friend. She was
able to take that experience and
work through some of her feelings
in her writing. Monroe says she
had a similar experience with TheBeachHouse, saying she felt as if
writing the book truly helped her
come to terms with her mothers
death.
Of course, another source of
inspiration for the authors is the
area in which they live. Monroe
says the Lowcountry inspires
everything about her writing,
and while not the setting of her
novels, King says the beauty of
the low country inuences her
writing as well.
Although their teaching days
may be behind them, Cassandra
King and Mary Alice Monroe
continue to shape minds withtheir thought-provoking words
and love for their craft.
You can learn more about both
women and their books on their
websites, cassandrakingconroy.

reective of that. I hope my workcaptures the beautiful light ofthat area and the spatial vastnessthat goes with the Lowcountry,"
said Milinowski.1
"I hope thecollectors get an understandingthat the view is painted in a nicespontaneous manner."
All of Milinowski's work isbased off eld studies. "I nd itso much easier to paint the sceneif I'm there. You see movement,emotion, it's alive," he says. "Youhave to be outside to get the value,hues, coloration to understandwhat's going on in the scene.Otherwise it's like painting blind."

Milinowski uses the sametechniques, rules, and disciplinethat he acquired as an illustratorand commercial artist, bring
strong drawing skills to eachcomposition, which make hiscanvas read well.
"I'm going from a tightillustration, which is mybackground, to a more painterlyapproach. This entails capturingthe scene as you feel it instead ofmimicking it," he explains.
An Artist Reception will be heldduring the evening of Friday, Nov.1, at 25 Broad Street.

Artists enjoy the
streets of CharlestonBY DANNY LARAN
FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
Nationally and internationally known artists will gather to
paint in Charleston en masse November 2nd through 7th
during the Plein Air Painters of the Southeast's event.
The plein air movement, which has accelerated over the
last decade, brings artists from all over the country to one
location where they paint together outside. The camaraderie
and formation of lifelong friendships among creative people are
fostered through this national plein air movement.
Professional plein air painters are bound by a common
passion to promote the traditional methods of painting in plein
air, to hone their painting skills through the demanding rigors
of painting outdoors, to enjoy the camaraderie and shared
knowledge of fellow plein air painters, and to raise awareness
and appreciation of this traditional method of painting among
art collectors and connoisseurs.
The resulting work will be displayed in an exclusive 10-day wet
paint show and sale at three galleries on Charleston's Gallery
Row on Broad Street. The gala public opening reception with the
artists is on Nov. 8th from 6 to 8 p.m. This is an extraordinary
opportunity to meet and talk to 30 notable, highly-collected
artists.
Visitors will learn why they prefer to paint outside from life
in a spontaneous reaction to nature and the environment.
The show runs through Nov. 16 at COCO VIVO Art for Living,
Edward Dare Gallery, and Galerie on Broad.

he game of American Football is in its 144th year. The modern-day game of football took its present form about 100 years ago
when the NCAA was formed. In my book The Championship,I dont provide a history of the game, but instead give my readersa glimpse into what life was like for a college football player at theUniversity of South Carolina in the second half of the 1960s.
The game of football is genius, and although there have been someminor rule changes, the game we played then is the same game playedtoday. Only the strategies have evolved along with the popularity ofthe sport.
Life as a college football player in the 1960s did afford time for otherendeavorsand fun, sowithin thebook are talesof fraternitylife that arestraight outof the movieAnimal House and travel adventures that spanned this great countryall the way to the Last Frontier.
The sixties were a time of generational and cultural transformation.As student athletes we were dealing with this transformation alongwith everyone else. In football at South Carolina, there was a majorcoaching change that complicated life at the same time. But wedid come together as players and coaches and we accomplishedsomething that had never been achieved before at South Carolina.
The 1969 South Carolina Football team went undefeated inconference play and won the ACC Championship. I was fortunate tohave played on the team. While life as a student-athlete wasn't alwayseasy, I am grateful for the opportunityto compete as a Gamecock and tohave received a stellar education. I amequally grateful for the people I havemet along the way, many who havebecome lifelong friends.
We were able to capture our rst
conference championship together andI think all of us - fans, coaches, staffand players, cherish those memoriesmore each day. I feel certain that verysoon, another team of South Carolinaathletes, coaches and staff will notonly win conference championships,but will create memories they too cancherish for a lifetime.
I hope you enjoy this journey fromthe gridiron at the University of SouthCarolina to the wilds of SoutheasternAlaska almost as much as I did takingit.
Go Cocks!

Halloween has happened. Of course, whether youre navigatingthe dark corridors of a haunted house or just dealing withthe creepy characters coming to your door demanding candy,
youre probably not too fearful of the sights of the season. But as yougo through life, youll want to avoid some things that really are scary- such as these investment moves:
Chasing after a hot investment:By the time you hear abouta supposedly hot investment, it may already be cooling off.But even more importantly, it might not have been appropriatefor your diversication needs in the rst place, especially if youalready own similar investments.
Investing too aggressively:To achieve your long-term goals,such as a comfortable retirement, you will unquestionably needto own a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented investmentsin your portfolio. However, the greater the potential reward, thegreater the risk, so you dont want to go over- board by investingtoo aggressively.
Investing too conservatively: Some types of investmentscan offer a high degree of preservation of principal. But theycarry their own type of risk - the risk of not keeping up withination. Consequently, just as its not a good idea to investtoo aggressively and own only growth-oriented investments, itsalso not wise to invest too conservatively by owning only thosevehicles that sacrice growth potential for principal protection.
Following the crowd: In many arenas of life, youll nd thatit may make sense to go your own way rather than follow thecrowd. And thats usually the case with investing, too. Itsquite common for the crowd to collectively make an unwiseinvestment decision - so, make your choices based on yourindividual needs, goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
Taking a time out from investing:After sustaining big lossesduring the nancial crisis of 2008, many investors decidedto take a time out from investing - which meant they mayhave missed out on the rally that began in 2009 and ultimatelyresulted in the nancial markets achieving record highs. Thebest investors just keep on investing right through marketdownturns - and, quite often, their persistence is rewarded.
Overreacting to the headlines: Too often, people will makelong-term changes to their investment strategy in responseto short-term news events, such as political turmoil, a badeconomic report and even natural disasters. Youll likely help
your cause tomorrow by not overreacting to the headlines today. Underreacting to changes in your life: You will experience
many changes in your life, such as a new job, new spouse, newchildren, new home, the empty nest and so on. Many of thesechanges may require changes in your investment strategy. Youcould jeopardize your progress toward your nancial goalsby not reviewing this strategy regularly - at least once a year,in consultation with your nancial advisor - and making thenecessary adjustments in response to your evolving life.
By staying away from scary investment moves, you may well ndthat investing can be a positive, productive experience. And thats nota frightening thought at all.

COMPUTER CORNER
NOTHING IS SAVED IN YOUR HOME AND IT IS
ALL ACCESSIBLE BY ANYONE WHO HAS YOUR
SKYDRIVE USERNAME AND PASSWORD..
~ Bob Cooper, Rent-a-Bob
Windows maker Microsoftcame out with the
Windows 8.1 to address
many of the complaints about
the software. One of the main
arguments was that the "start"
button was gone on the desktop
side making simple tasks seem
almost impossible
including changing
basic operations.
Well, Windows
acquiesced and
agreed to bring
back the start
button. Yipee!
Except the start button does
one thing only, it switches you
to the "Metro" or tile side. Yep,
the start button takes you to the
side that many try to disable. It
does not allow you to get to the
control panel, it does not allow
you to pick programs or check
on printers, it just does what
clicking on the lower left desktop
did already, namely take you to
the "Metro" side.
8.1 also cements the online
"storage" of your data at
SkyDrive, Windows answer to the
iCloud for Mac. Unless you make
specic changes to the OS it will
default to saving many thingsto a SkyDrive storage area that
is setup when you log on with a
Microsoft account. It really, really
wants you "sign in" with an email
address and a password which
sets up the SkyDrive account.
You can log onto your
computer using what is called a
"local account" which is what was
normal with previous versions of
Windows software, which does
not create that online account
and does not save data online
automatically. So why do I bring
this up since being saved to the
"cloud"
should be a good thing, right?Well the main reason is that
instead of the data being saved
locally to your hard drive in your
computer and then copied to the
SkyDrive to save the data, it is by
default SAVED to the SkyDrive
account with nothing saved to
your hard drive.That means that
if you want to access the data,
i.e. open a document, you would
need to have internet access to do
so. Nothing is saved in your home
folder, and it is all accessible by
anyone who has your SkyDrive
username and password.
I'm sorry if the above paragraph
seems to be in Greek but I tried
to make it simple. Bottom line
is, if youre looking for a new
computer try nding a Windows 7
computer. They are still available
online at companies like Dell and
HP. Other sites sell refurbished
and in some cases new Windows
7 desktops and laptops. Ifdetermined to move on and get
the latest OS 8.1, I can help with
the transition and make it less
formidable.
Finally if you have yet to
upgrade to iOS 7 you might want
to wait another couple of weeks.
Apple just came out with version
7.03 xing some problems and
bringing back some lost features
that many complained about.
Let's wait for 7.05 to do that
upgrade! Unfortunately, you
cannot go back to iOS 6, Apple
does not allow reversals of its
operating systems for theseproducts.
Hope this helps, and as
always if you need help I
am available,
Bob would love
to hear from you
and answer your
questions. If you
need assistance call
