As an extra bonus

One thing I lost when I upgraded the desktop from Windows 7 to Windows 8 was the ability to install and run my National Geographic DVDs (I have a set of issues from issue 1 in the late 1800s through 2010). I love those DVDs, and was terribly frustrated, although at least they did work on the laptop, oddly. Well, on a lark I tried to reinstall and guess what? It works! Yay! Also, the download is happening quicker, probably because many people on the East Coast are now asleep. I'm up to 71% already. :)
