This morning started out a little rough with computer issues. This geriatric computer has some problems and instead of leaving well enogh alone I made the mistake of trying to correct some of them, which got the computer confused and unable to start. Yikes two hours of this, but I finally have it straightened out. At least as good as it was before. I had already started using the chormebook, but now I am back to old reliable.

I like my old computer more than my Laptop, it's not new, but I like better my desktop.

I am just so much more familiar with this one, and it is comfortable for me. This is an Acer Aspire. Althought I do have a chromebook and Dell with Win 10 on it, if I have to get another one someday, I would get one of these. I have had it for 10 years.

@snowy22315 - My old desktop is also 10 years old, it is an Acer and I like it more than the newer ones I bought.

@LadyDuck Yes, Acer is a good brand. Longevity is important when you spend big bucks on a puter. I supsect in the next couple of years I will be buying one.

Ugh, phone is not is not a good replacement for a puter. Is is possible to switch providers, or won't that help?

My desktop started giving me trouble a few months back and it still doesn't work right. Frustrating. Now I'm using my daughters laptop

I haven't used a desktop for years...no need. A big display is fun though.

It's easy to get in a real pickle if you start trying to fiddle with settings or whatever.

I already discarded my old laptop. Now I'm using my cellphone for my online writing job and my video sharing to YouTube channel.

Computers can get 'annoyed' sometimes

And when they are annoyed they annoy us!
