I've missed you all so much too! Hubby and I went to Fry's to get the new computer on Saturday. I swear I've never been in and out of that place so fast in my life! We headed straight to the computer section, was promptly greeted by a sales person, and within about 10 minutes, we had the tower, monitor, a new printer, and an awesome surge protector in the cart and paid for! Of course, it took til today to get the internet back up and running. Hubby hooked everything up when we got home Saturday, but the internet wouldn't come on. So I called tech support this morning, and he was asking me what was hooked up on the 2 Wire modem, and I told him that I had to have hubby look at everything and call them back since I'm not the least bit mechanically inclined. LOL! So I got to looking at everything, and my son happened to be up by then, and we both figured out that hubby had forgotten to hook up one of the phone cords to the 2 Wire. So we hooked it up and voila! INTERNET!

Now I have to brag on my awesome computer. The tower is an HP Pavillion, with something like 5gb of memory, and the monitor is a 20 inch flatscreen made my LG. The colors on it are absolutely fabulous! And the whole thing runs so smoothly! No freezing up anymore. What was really cool was that for an extra $50, they threw in a brand new Epson all in one printer.

I'm so ecstatic to be back here with my friends. Now I just have to make sure to get up before the kids do so that I can get online first! lolrasp

Hugs to everyone.....Carryl

So glad you have an up and running computer again. I know what it's like to be without one. It drives me nuts. Sounds like you got a great model. Enjoy it. Welcome back Carryl.

Hmmm that sounds fantastic, my techy has been hinting lately that I should upgrade and get a new computer which I would love much i have found everytime I get new or upgrade it usually takes me so long to get used to the new, I am not one that loves change much, well I guess we can expect some really good posts from you, new can be good.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Try to get one that has features similar to your current one. That's what I did, and it's fantastic. The only main difference (besides being so much faster) is that this one has a DVD burner as well as the CD burner. Thanks so much hon. I definitely intend to be on much more now that I can do things faster and actually enjoy it for a change. Hugs!

Welcome back. Sounds like you have a great setup now. Good job on figuring out what the problem with the phone line was. Have fun catching up!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Thank you hon. You can bet I was strutting my stuff and crowing my head off about it when hubby walked through the door. LOL! Thank God he has a great sense of humor! As for catching up, I have so many notification emails that I'm almost scared. Hahahaha! Thanks again sweetie. Hugs!

Glad to have you back in here. I wondered why I had not seen any of your Posts for a while. I know what a pain it can be with Computers though as I have experienced them myself as well. Well, you might need to Write up a schedule of who gets the Computer when, and then go from there. I am Lucky. I am the one one who uses one in our house. My husband just does not get into Computers and being online much.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I thought about writing up a schedule, but I decided it's much more fun to beat everyone to the computer instead. LOL! Plus they know better than to try to boot me off of it...I not only growl but I bite too. Teeheehee! Thanks so much hon.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 476 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I am the only one that uses this puter as well. My daughter once in awhile
will log on while she is visiting. I let the granbdsons play games online sometimes. But only if I sit with them.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Lucky you Grandpa...you don't have to worry about anyone filching the computer when you're not looking. LOL

Great to see ya back online and myLotting. Missed ya as well. Grats on the new puter as well. I have always been a big lover of HP products. My outer and printer are HP brands. Anyhow I need a new outer as well. But it will have to wait for sometime. Mainly because we are getting an HDTV and surround sound in a few weeks so the funds will be short for a new oputer. Then the big holiday is around the corner as qell. Maybe next year. I take it you are running Vista as the OS? Do you like the change or what with Vista as opppsed to XP? Grats and we missed you as well.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I wanted an HDTV too, but the computer won out. And yes the OS is Vista. It's actually pretty awesome. I still love my XP, but I'm getting used to this new system pretty fast. I'm still figuring things out with it at the moment, but so far so good. Thanks so much hon. Hugs!

Glad to have you back. I lost internet connection once due to some technical problems and I was about to go out of my mind not being able to get on my computer! Have fun catching up with all the discussions now and glad you like your new computer.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I think if I get caught up it will be a major miracle! LOL! Believe me, I was pouting all weekend without my internet. Thanks hon.

Congratulations on the new computer, etc. I am so happy for you! I have been praying for the funds so I can get a new computer, printers and software. Of course, mine will probably be more expensive than yours because it's a Mac but I'd rather spend the extra funds and have my Mac which is still the best around for what I do. I wouldn't mind having a PC as well to access web sites and certain things that aren't compatible with my Mac. That would mean I could sign up for work with some of the online legitimate work systems doing customer service work from home.

I need the computer, a color inkjet and a b/w laser as well as a scanner, fax machine and copier. I also need a new, larger surge supressor and a new laptop case on wheels. I'm planning to get a Macbook Pro with the 17" screen. I'm also going to need new software since the Mac I'm on is running a lower version of the operating software and my software most likely won't run with the new system. My biggest concern is getting something equivalent to Appleworks because I use it for drawing and the paint program constantly. I also have a lot of documents save in that format so until I can move them into new software format, I'll need the use of this computer.

I also want to get a new cell phone that allows me access to the internet wherever I am so I don't have to be dependent on other people having it in a restaurant or a business.

Anyway, I'm very happy for you and look forward to your postings once again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I've been praying for you to be able to get all the items you need as well hon. It will happen...I'm sure of it. We actually got a really nice surge suppressor for about $19, and the thing is HUGE! It even has the phone jacks in it as well. It makes things so much easier, since the wall jack is in a corner behind my huge bookcase. Hubby hates trying to get to the darned thing. Thanks so much hon. Big hugs!

Welcome back Katlady...sure did miss you around here. HP Pavilion wow....before I decided to get my Mac computer I was thinking in the lines of a HP Pavilion or Workstation so you got a really great new computer there....As for you're not being connected right away...isn't that always the way? That it was just a small matter of hooking up the right phone cable line. Almost sounds like the dumb goof I did one time when I wanted to scan some photos and nothing was happening ...I didn't have it in the right mode to scan....sheesh rolleyes


myLot reputation of 99/100. Katlady2 (4477)   ranked 29 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Oh, I've done that too. I was about to kick the scanner until I read the screen and realized that the setting wasn't right on it! Boy did I feel stupid after that one! LOL. Hugs to you hon.

Holy barnacles....Now I'm jealous...See what you did?

Happy for you....xoxohappy

LOL! I thought my kids would be 80 before I got a new one, that's for sure. I'm amazed that I was even able to talk hubby into this one. I think he really didn't want the hospital bill from the surgeons removing my foot from the tower. Teeheehee! Hugs!
