Hi Steve Many thanks for this, I did a quick search after sending my email and had a look on the GW Micro site, so thanks for backing me up on this. I haven't got the opportunity to listen to them on my iPhone today but will certainly check them out tomorrow morning before my laptop arrives. I'm a little nervous, I'm only dabbled with Windows 8 and I didn't like it so agent back to Windows 7. I now have no choice but to upgrade as the laptop does not have a downgrade option. Thank you again and if you have any more links or resources you can tell me about, please let me know.
