hug Yeah, I know what you mean about screwed up keyboards, I just got rid of mine because it was a cordless one with a cordless mouse. I thought it would be great to have, but it turns out that I had two different ones, and neither one worked very well. Word to the wise: NEVER buy a cordless mouse, stick to the original. You'll be much better off.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

giggle The computer guy just left like a half hour ago. He disassembled my old computer, then hooked up my new one, installed all the programs (including virus protection, spam blocker and pop up blocker), and did some other stuff too. I love my new computer, it's much better than the old one that I had (which was 7 years old and really outdated).

giggle It's a Dell Dimension 1100 that has tons of memory (which I really needed), a 17" flat screen monitor (takes up a lot less room on my desk), and a color printer that also scans. I'm going to have a lot of fun with it!

Thanks. biggrin So nice to have a keyboard that actually works without sticking or stuttering.

I just found out that there is an Owner's Manual in Adobe format. Guess it comes automatically with the computer. It also had AOL (which I had deleted, since I only use cable) and Wordperfect. confuse I didn't think people even used WordPerfect anymore, but my computer guy said it was a new version of it?? confuse

Thanks. biggrin woot! It's a nice system. Just got through hauling the old junk out to the curb. Going to have to call City Hall tomorrow to have them come pick it up. My computer guy told me to keep my printer, keyboard and mouse, but I don't have storage room for it. Besides they're so old that they're not even worth keeping, honestly. They're broken down and not really worth hanging on to.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

isn't it a great feeling? i got a laptop for christmas and i was able to throw out my old, jacked-up computer with the gross looking monitor that i've owned for ten years. lol

i love how much memory computers come with these days...i felt like a freakin' caveman installing the three or four software programs i use, and realizing i have loads and loads of memory left over. nuts

Sure is a great feeling, I'm lovin' it! It's great having lots of memory left over when you load in your programs. Just got through watching a Prince video on my computer screen here. smile

Easy for you, difficult for me. giggle I do okay actually using a computer, but installing programs and getting everything set up when it's new is something I'm pretty much clueless about.

Yeah, I had problems with BOTH cordless keyboard/mouse sets that I had. Could be because the computer I had was so damn old, it just couldn't handle it.

I love new electronics too. biggrin
