Whoa, way to go! The next time you log in I bet it will be on your new computer. I'm so pleased for you as I know you've had lots of problems with the previous one. Let us know how you get on and what brand you settle for..the suspense is killing me lol.

After suffering freeze - ups and messages saying "You are running low on disk space" I went ahead a few months ago and ordered a new computer and since I was spending money, I decided to make it as future proof as possible. So I now have a computer with a AMD 3.3 Mhz quad core Phenom II 64 bit processor, a 500 Gb HDD (no more running out of disk space) and 4 Mb of DDR3 RAM (twice as fast as DDR2)and Windows 7 64 bit OS. And I'm has happy as a kid in a sweet factory! Hope that you get a decent one, it'll be like a new lease of life. Don't forget to let us know all the geeky technical stuff - unless your are one of those ungeeky people who have no idea what's in the box that is.

So that's why my 40 Gig hard drive got all filled up - it was all those nasty gremins! I suppose that I've now got to get a witch doctor to de-gremlin it!

Hey Elic! I had never heard of Acer before, that was until my "computer guy"/son that I never had gave me his old refurbished laptop! It was also an Acer! He told me it is one of the best brands ever! So, girlfriend you did great! He is a Manager at Staples, where he's worked now for 8 years and he knows his stuff! So, Acer he told me is a premium brand! Nice choice![em]thumbup

You and I are definitely in the same boat. I would never be able to leave mylot, they will have to drag me away kicking and screaming because of the fact that I have come to love this place so much. That said, I would love to be able to get a new computer, but I really don't think that I would be able to afford a new computer for a while now. I hope that you are still getting a lot of entertainment out of your newer computer.
