... so I've had to buy my 5-year-old Toshiba two hard drives and now it seems the motherboard is about to go belly up.
I don't want Vista.
I long for the old days when my dad or brother would tell me who could build me a nice computer...
I do so much mainstream stuff that I'm afraid I must assimilate to Windows (tho' I don't need Office ... www.openoffice.org keeps me happy ). I might consider somet hign from those Apple people though. (I'm a DOS girl, myself... I prefer TELLING my computer what to do even if it's a weirdly spelled command. However, that's not how computers work anymore, and I never actually learned much DOS.)
My tech person tells me Dell will sell you XP (tho' right there on their site it says they recommend Vista... snork... bet they had to put that one therE!) I'll ask my brother but he *is* planning a wedding (Duh! I guess I'll get to travel soon... knew I was getting that folder for a reason!)
Any recent happinesses or horrors in the computer realm?
What I have is a big laptop... I don't think I want to lose that portability (and I'm thinking I want to go smaller, not bigger - I don't need a 17" screen!)
