Took Computer To Dr. Yesterday

Janet · 06-20-2012, 04:18 PM

Something was wrong in the registry so it wasn't recognizing the drive. $25 later and it works like a charm so I now have all my pictures on a CD and then of course...I made a copy of the CD...lol.

Now I've deleted all the pictures off my computer (except for the rental homes) and can start over for the rest of the year. I didn't do much at all yesterday so I'm glad my day was productive in a couple different areas.

Oh yay!!! That was a cheap fix!!! Good for you!!!

I'm so glad it didn't cost very much to get it fixed and that it didn't take long at all. You get use to a certain type computer and keyboard and it's nice to have the one that 'fits' back.

I understand. I like my computer except that the battery doesn't charge like it should. Usually it's drained but for some reason it decided to charge......you just never know when it's going to do it. In checking on the internet it's a problem that Dell had during the time I bought mine and they haven't addressed the problem. I downloaded something that kinda' helped in the sense that it charges once in a while. It's fustrating though!!

Gonna have to take this darn computer back to the dr again. I have viruses out the wazoo....lolol. I still use it, just don't send anything on it. I'll take it in on Monday so I'm not without it all weekend.

I'm thinking of looking at Mac's. I really don't know much about them except that you don't have to worry about viruses so I don't know. They are really expensive (for me) but I have some inheritance left. I wanted to use it for new flooring or a newer used car, so I don't know yet. Tired of taking it to the Dr. Any of you have Mac's?

Yep, Mac girl here and have been since 1989. Yes they are more expensive, there's no getting around that. But they are great machines. I did have a problem with my desktop last fall and had to get a new one, but it was 5 years old, so that was pretty good. My first one lasted 10 years and my laptop lasted 7 years and it wasn't broken, it just didn't have enough memory for the new operating systems and I had the max memory in it. So, it didn't break, just got outdated.

Also, I've used a Mac at my school since 1993 and I've never had one break, never ever. We get new ones periodically but they still use the old ones for students and the like. The Macs run like a charm and never get viruses. I did have someone hack my email and send out spam emails from my address, but it wasn't a virus, just someone using my email to advertise their product. All I needed was a stronger password.

Macs are incredibly easy to use, but people who are used to PCs say it takes a while to get used to them. I think Betsi went from a PC to a Mac, so maybe you could ask her about them.

Another Mac girl here! My boys and dil's all have Mac's and they insisted that I get one. I LOVE it! I have a 13 inch MacBook, the white one. It's perfect for me to hold in my lap in my recliner, lol! I have never had any trouble with it. I don't think it would be hard for you to use, especially since you have an iPad. Mine was $1000. and I have never regretted it for one second. They are SO user friendly
