How long have you been using a computer? I have been using a computer since the DOS days,before computers had a hard drive and 64k of memory was considered a lot of memory. Not to try to date myself, but it has been a long time.

mandysdad Yeah, Vista is the ME of today. (Me was the operating system before XP that was a flop for Microsoft.)

mandysdad It is hard to imagine life without a computer now. What did our grandparents do for fun?

mandysdad Right, it does depend on what your computer mainboard is able to handle. Most of the new ones can go up to at least 4 gb of ram. So buying 2 gb sticks might top it out. It also depends on the Operating system. I believe XP will not be able to use all 4gb.

mandysdad As I said sometimes computers just do that. With the thousands of lines of code running there are times when things can go bad. It is often said it is best to reformat and reload everything once a year, I am not so sure. As long as you know the programs you...

mandysdad I agree. I have an 11 year old Cat, and she still has her claws. I think of you train them when they are young you don't have to worry about them clawing up your furniture or anything else. Plus there is always the chance that they may get out. It would be...
