new computer

[cobra]

Finally got on the "new" computer this morning. "new" because i have had it for over a year, but still prefer the old one....you know...that old thing about old dogs and new tricks. I bought it because my computer girl said my hard drive was ready to bite the big one (that was 1.5 years ago). But it just keep on running. Finally starting to act funnier and it's time to switch before it's too late. The new computer is windows 8 . The reason it was cheap. It was tough enough to learn 8, so no way am i learning s%$t again (meaning no 10).
Now that i have been playing awhile,this isn't so bad. Maybe change is good sometimes.

Hey Bruce, I'm going through a similar situation, just got a "smart phone" 4 days ago. I still carry the flip phone and use it when I need something fast and go to the smart phone when I have a lot of time. I've already worn the print off the "clear-back space" key.

Hey I had to figure it out so I'm sure you can handle it

I just had to replace my hard drive it lasted about 5 years. Back in June had the computer hardware updated while on PT so now EVERYTHING has been replaced.

Nothing to it. But then I have an "I phone" and Laura is a Mac (Apple) info tech. Some might call that cheating but that's such a strong word, don't you think?
