This n' That



My computer has slowed down lately and it's probably getting ready to explode.  It's filled with stuff that I've saved for a reason and now it's just superfluous stuff.  Ray says I should take it in and get it cleaned off and maybe eventually I'll do that but first I have to clean it up.  If I do that, I probably won't need to take it in at all.

Truth is, I simply want a newer, lighter computer.  I've been shopping around for a while and I've learned what I do and do not want.  Ray went to a Chromebook which is great for him, but not for me. He still relies on his ole HP for some things.  I'm sure I'll do the same once I get a new one.  I like my Lenovo and I'll never give it up altogether because it was a gift. My brother purchased it for my sister-in-law, she passed shortly thereafter so it is special to me.

Wish me luck today.  Ray has agreed to go computer shopping with me.  Should be interesting.
I'll let you know how it works out.  Until then here are some pictures that are slowing up things here. See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.

    Hope the computer shopping went well. My laptop is on it's last legs, I have my iPad but I don't like blogging on it.

    Love,

      Thanks Lindy. IT's nice and a pain too.

      The pictures are some of the things making my computer log down.

      Me too abby, it's a pain to get used to a new one.
      Hubby has a chromebook, likes the speed but it doesn't match up with our printer and his camera so he too is in the market for another.

    I got Nick a new Mac Saturday - mostly because I love him, but also to get him to stop complaining about his old computer. I hope you found just want you wanted.

      You know we talked Mac vs... I explained why a Mac would be great but w/o anyone around to help me get it started, it wasn't practical for a non-techo.

    We do get attached to our "things" and resist the change. It sounds odd, but I would like my little truck to last forever.

    Especially appreciated the "...best way to show her you love her."

    I have a Lenovo too, and it works very well. We also have an HP laptop as a backup and use that in the dining room for day-long internet radio.
    Hope you find something reasonable that suits you.

    Hugs,
    Hermione

      Hi, always nice to see you here. I like the Lenovo and will keep it but I want something that travels a little lighter. I have my eye on an ASUS and another Lenovo - we'll see.

    Hi Sunny! :) I hope that you and Ray have an excellent computer shopping day! You know that I am a MAC person, and have had them for years. Whatever you choose, I am sure that it will be great. You will appreciate the speed of the new one, that is for sure!

    Very sweet about your sister-in-law's laptop. I can understand the emotions surrounding that- special indeed. I bet she'd be happy that you are upgrading, and that your current one has been well used and loved. Consider it an extension of the first, perhaps? Many hugs,

    <3 Katie

      Thanks Katie. I know you and PK love the Mac and you know I'm not a techo so it's better if I go with what I know. Maybe someday.
