Other than the video card wearing out, the computer never had any problems that were caused by it. Hopefully, I'll be able to have the money set aside for a new computer before this one needs to be replaced.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-81047073040974146202012-11-21T09:52:45.589-08:002012-11-21T09:52:45.589-08:00I can really relate to this post, shoes and all.
...I can really relate to this post, shoes and all.<br /><br />I've always had HP's and have been happy overall. I've never had one of my home computers crash, but just get old (by tech standards). I've had my present computer for maybe 5 years or so and it's still pretty good. Wish it were faster and more powerful but for the price I don't think I got a bad deal. I'd just as well keep this one for many more years if it stays at least as fast as it is now.<br /><br />Hope your new computer gives you enjoyment and functionality for many years to come.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-76128430743591469252012-11-20T13:55:14.988-08:002012-11-20T13:55:14.988-08:00If you have computer questions, it's what I do...If you have computer questions, it's what I do all day.

The ...D.G.: There's a tutorial on the computer. The issue is that those things only ever deal with the broad strokes and not the specific things that can hang you up. Like I was just trying to save the cover file for part 9 of Spinner onto the computer, and the system for doing that and getting something workable is completely different now, and it's not the kind of thing to be in a tutorial.<br /><br />mood: Is that an HP thing? I never had an issue with that with my Dells.<br /><br />Alex: Actually, Dell doesn't make any good video cards. They contract out to other people for them. They cards they make are basic place holders. So, yes, you can get a good card from them already in their machine, but it wasn't made by them.<br /><br />Sarah: That's probably a good use for that voucher. Good to see you around!<br /><br />Jo: Unless you have a tablet and really like that type of interface, I'd say to stay away from moving to 8.<br /><br />Briane: Maybe I'll like 8 eventually, but I think it's going to take a lot longer than a week.

We organised to get it for her early so it would come with Windows XP. It has a voucher for a free upgrade to Windows 8.

I'm sure hubs had a pair of mocassins that were hot-glued with leather patches on the bottom, to make them last a bit longer.D.G.
