Is the raspberry PI becoming a bit of a joke?
I've seen the latest release of the pi 3, it's got bluetooth, wifi and everything. The pi2 can even have a lite version of Windows 10 on it.

Windows 10 Start Button & Taskbar not working
Start Button won't even give options on right or left click. I've got no options other than button on right of Taskbar for Open Action Centre (which does not work).

I know how to use transpose, but this is a little different. I have copied a list of beers, and their types, and tastes, etc from a table on a website. I pasted this into Excel, and obviously, it created one long column. The first 9 cells are the headings, so I first transposed those into a row. What I have been doing is,…
