My new computer arrived today. The poor FedEx guy had to slog through a lot of snow to get to my door but he didn't seem to mind. Now I just have to set it up and transfer stuff from my old computer and I'll be able to use FireFox again. (Safari sucks!)

Yay! By now you probably have it all up and running. I hate it when I have to use a different browser than firefox. It has been a long time since I have had to. I used to do some work for this one company that would not use any other browser than IE. I really hated it when I had to do their reports. I was always afraid my computer would seize up before I could get the report uploaded.

Nope. Ran into a small problem... needed a new adapter to be able to hook it up to my monitor. I'm using the PC right now.

Don't you just hate that. I'll bet you are disappointed. It really bugs me when things like that happen. But then that is just me. I'm not very flexible.

I just wish I knew when I ordered it that I needed a different adapter so I could have ordered it too. Running around town to get it is very time consuming when your driver is a shopaholic and insists on going all over the place for other things. Three hours yesterday and ten today.

Congrats! I prefer Firefox over other browsers, too. And IE really, really stinks. I love home delivery. We have snow up the wazoo, too, although not as bad as they said it would be. Fearing the worst, I ordered dog food just in case and now I don't even have to travel to the store for it--the mail person will bring it to my door! Have fun with your new computer!

I finally have it all hooked up and you're the lucky winner of my first reply using the new computer. Don't you feel special?

Congrats on the new computer. Hope you get the bugs worked out soon. I'm kind of mad at mine today. I came home with two camera disks from two different cameras full of pictures, and iPhoto couldn't seem to read the disks to get the photos imported. I tried both the card reader on my monitor and the one that hooks up to my USB and I kept getting the error message. I knew the files were on the disk because I could view them on my camera. I managed to get one disk imported in a round about way, but not the other. Finally, when all else failed, I tried the cable that came with the camera, and that worked. Thank goodness! I had visions of all those pictures I took not being able to get only my computer. I can't believe that two different card readers are both non-functional and that two disks are bad on the same day. They are the same ones I imported pictures from two days before the trip. So it makes me believe something is wrong with iPhoto. But at least the pictures are now on the computer. I would have hated to lose them. Guess I'll have to call tech support soon, and I think I also need to take the computer in and double my memory. Hope you'll soon be able to use your new computer the way your want. What kind did you get?

Hope you get your technical problems sorted out soon, too. I got just the basic new Mac Mini, but it's (supposedly) miles ahead of my old Mini, if I ever get it hooked up to the monitor!
