New Computer

[Granbonny]

I am now typing on my new computer.. ..My family has been after me for a year..but I was scared..that a new one..I couldn't handle My old one was my best friend..but it finally froze up yesterday after I clicked on an e-mail from my daughter..I blamed her. ..so, Hubby/I drove down and bought this new one..Hubby set it up last night and with the help of my Internet Provider over the telephone this morning..everything fell into place. I have had to peck and hunt all day for some things.. Ross got me my password for VR.Com..thanks Ross...I used Mary for a guinea pig.. Testing things on her... I just posting my first post on VR.Com and was happy to see all my old things there..Location, signature, ect........I still will just use it for simple things..Like e-mail and VR.Com..May get brave a little later and venture into something else........Glad to be back..Scary when Old Betsy died on me. Bonnie

Congratulations, Bonnie! A new computer is an exciting thing! I myself have a new mouse and am just delighted. I no longer have to coax and plead--the new one just loves to comply with my every command!

Now that Old Betsy is out to pasture, what's the new kid on the block's name???

I wanna know, does it have Windows Vista for an operating system? It must have, it's got Internet Explorer 7 on it! MSIE 7.0

Congratulations on the new computer, Bonnie.

New toys are so exiting, even if someone elses!

Everything was working yesterday..but my mouse?I would take the arrow and click on..nothing..but decided..it was time...didn't want to get a new mouse..because I have had problems for months now ..Not enough memory..had to reboot everyday.... I bought the Compaq..same as old Betsy..what is funny..paid the same for this new one that my Hubby paid 5 years ago?Prices have come down.........I will buy their insurance for $120.00 for 3 years in case of a problem.....I probably paid over $100.00in the past years..Last time could not understand the guy in India? Salesman assured me..all American speaking reps..now. ...........I will call her..Old Betsy #2. Bonnie

I almost edited to ask the same question. Do you, Bonnie? If so, what do you think of it?

 

[Granbonny]

Yes

Yes

Just looked at my paperwork..There is a cd..that says Upgrade your Windows Vista experience. I am just so happy to be on VR.Com and e-mail..have lots of pop-ups..Scared to click on any...will just take my time and play with this computer....In the meantime I am just so happy to have VR.Com and e-mail......Bonnie

I have IE 7 on my XP.

Congrats on your new computer Bonnie. I wish you the best in becoming familiar with it, so it too becomes a good friend!

Congratulations on the new baby. New computers are fun to experiment with. It's really hard to break things to bad. If you don't like all the pop-ups you can turn them off which I did because they are a nusance.
Karlynn, I also have IE 7 (just updated last week at home and last month at work). I can't tell a whole lot of difference but there are a few things I don't like about it but are surmountable.

Way to go, Bonnie! It ought to be good for your next 10,000 posts (or more).

Bonnie, since it is a new computer it must have Windows Vista on it. There are many Vista versions and the CD probably means to upgrade to a higher version which you probably don't need at this time. Just get use to using the new operating system (what was on your old one- XP?). I got new computers last year and have been toying with the idea of upgrading my XP to Vista as they are Vista ready, but I hate to mess with something that's working fine now. I have downloaded IE7.0 and like it. Have fun and take the time to explore!

Enjoy your new toy. You will be way ahead of most of us in Vista experience. Let us know how you like it versus your old operating system. OR - do you not see a difference?

If it's vista, I don't know a thing about it other then it's a whole new ball game.
