Carol in Pgh. Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Having major issues with my computer so right now I am on my son's. Doubt I will be getting mine fixed (my son said it would probably cost around $200) and with what I just shelled out for my car and the expense of my third child headed to college (all three will be in), that will be hard enough to keep up with. I will not be on much at all anymore unless I can sneak on his once in a while. Everyone here is great and I will miss talking with you.See you when I can.Love, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mc Carthy Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 That's a bummer Carol, BAD COMPUTER VERY BAD. i did notice your absence around here, and was hoping you and all is well. You are one of the nicest new members around, i hope your hiatus is brief and you can return soon. Peace&love Brian (highwayangel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rachan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 CarolIt's none of my beeswax, but that's never stopped me before!! First off, I would just tell my kid "gimme your computer..I need to use it!"...you're putting a roof over their heads & getting them through college...it's time to do something for mom ("If momma ain't happy,Nobody is happy!" at least in my house ) Seriously though...If this is where you socialize & something you look forward to (Like the rest of us) Best Buy, probably even Walmart etc has no interest payment plans . I'm sure you could pick up an inexpensive laptop with very minimal monthly payments. When your car broke, you found the money..if your fridge broke down or your kid broke his glasses, you would somehow find the money. Find the money when it's something for YOU.You work hard & shouldn't always be the one to go without.(I'm not being preachy here at all...you just need to throw yourself a bone every once in a while!)

MJ Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I feel for you...I am having a nightmare trying to use my new tablet. I had to call Dell in India to tell me to stick a pin in it to reboot the stupid thing. This post took me 15 minutes to type! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Maybe typing lessons would help?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Smart James I can keyboard and type 120 words a minute. The android keyboard tries to type words before I do so I find it annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fresh Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Carol....go to Wal*Mart and spend $20. on a software called "System Mechanic" by iolo technologies. It has never failed to fix my computer problems, short of component failure.It's really worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Pgh. Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Won't work...my fan operates very fast because the computer overheats and shuts down. I'll get on my son's when I can but I appreciate the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ah, the old Wally-Bryson-I-should-have-gotten-cowrite-credit-on-GATW-revenge virus has maimed another ec.com member computer...I thought Bernie found a way to block that one off the site...
