Well, my old computer with Windows Vista [[remember that?) is finally going bonkers. It also will not allow me to upgrade to a higher Windows version. So, surprise, my son bought me a new Dell computer with Windows 10 and all the bells for Christmas. It's a laptop, but I also have a wireless full size keyboard with it, so I don't finger-fumble. Now all I have to do is re-enter all my sites.......sigh.......
Have fun with it Ray. Always fun to get a new toy!
Ray, re-entering sites and passwords is never fun no matter what age you are. Welcome to the modern age!Quote:

Good for you Ray, and you think like me. I didn't take that H.S. typing class to ever be without a full-size keyboard. 40 years on, proper typing is one of the few life skills I learned in High School, and the cops I worked with as a dispatcher could peck away with two fingers with the best of them.
And typewriters had no lag.Quote:

Maybe I need to change the oil in my computer. :p
Ray, Yesterday, my son, Mike, told me he and his family had moved into their new home,,,,,in Henderson, Nevada. Mike, an RN, retired. His wife is a Nurse Practitioner and will work for awhile. They are only six hours from me in AZ.
Ray, that is one hell of a hockey team you have out there!
My older son has partial season tickets, said he had the most fun in a long time when two visiting Blackhawk fans got on his case when they scored first.
He told them to drown their sorrows in a too thick pizza at the end of the game.
Enjoy.
My win 10 took a dump, and I set her aside like an old aunt. [[ I don't have an old aunt) I'm pissed at what they call " New" technology that leaves any user unprepared.Quote:

Thanks for nothing Microsoft. 11,000 updates.
Maybe switch to Apple Mac [[used or they are too expensive). Less problems, but they are starting to get problematic like Windows has been [[11,000 updates and viruses).... sigh...:rolleyes:... Back up ALL computers with a portable drive. Then back up that drive with a drive.
It's all pretty insane. I just find Apple computers give a bit of an edge. Less time behind the screen [[fiddlin' about the system)...
