AFTER the game--which is going on right now--I will spend the rest of the night (vampire, anyone? :D) getting things taken care of. I'm hoping to be online and have a lot of the programs on the new computer by tomorrow PM.

(I LOVE the 'hands-on' approach that I learned with PCs.) I LOVE looking around the innards of my computer system--one of the reasons I DON'T like Apples--and I still haven't found a way to get in. I KNOW it's still there, I just have to look harder. I KNEW the new OS was going to be a bit of a challenge, but I've been through so many that I don't think it will take me long before I'm up to speed.<br /><br />I'm LOVING the laptop--it is gorgeous! It's funny, cause it is BOTH smaller AND bigger than the last one. It has a smaller footprint, but the screen actually SEEMS larger. I haven't been able to really put it through its paces, as I'm not online with it. In a week or so, I should know just how much I'm loving this.<br /><br />janet: That is my worry right now. This machine/OS is a 32-bit and the new OS is 64-bit. I don't know whether or not that is going to be a problem--I'm just not THAT geeky. I DO know that there are problems when someone migrates from a system that has Windows Works on it to one that has Windows Office--I had THAT problem with another one of my computers. Microsoft usually has a solution for that--a free program that will translate one document into another so that the new system can read it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will only be labor-intensive and NOT geeky-type problems.cmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984250869194585666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146226.post-91168584490602122762010-01-18T09:28:33.817-05:002010-01-18T09:28:33.817-05:00One problem I didn't anticipate when I got thi...One problem I didn't anticipate when I got this computer was that stuff I transferred from the old one couldn't be read on this one, even though the stuff I'd transferred was written on Word Pad, Notepad, etc. which should be compatible since the machines were both Windows. It was extremely frustrating, and I never did find a solution. Hope that doesn't happen to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146226.post-36506427385189523122010-01-18T05:02:22.646-05:002010-01-18T05:02:22.646-05:00well good luck with the migration, that can be a t...well good luck with the migration, that can be a total nightmare, and I really hope your new desktop arrives soon!<br /><br />but you haven't mentioned if you LIKE / LOVE the new laptop?meleah rebeccahhttp://mommamiameaculpa.comnoreply@blogger.com
