Ok, I know that the charms bar is there. I know how to access it.
What causes me issues, is that i ALWAYS FORGET that the charms bar is context sensitive to the application that is running.
I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to add my Google Gmail calendar to the Windows calendar app. Problem was, I couldn't figure out how to add the gmail account. I kept reading that you go into Settings and add it, but I kept going into settings from the Start Screen, and NOT from within the calendar app.
Even after all this time of using Windows 8, and I'm still getting tripped up by these simple things.
Anybody else having senior moments like this, or is this all me?
BTW: My neighbor at work hates hearing me say Charms bar. Drives him nuts.
