She's Here!

My computer people called last night at 5:30 to inform me, my new computer had been birthed and it was ready to come home.  I still don't have a name for her.  My other one was named FRED, which is an acronym for "Freaking Ridiculous Electronic Device", but I want a nice name for this baby girl.
Any suggestions?

You know what I did?  I waited until this morning to go get it.  I had rather enjoyed the whole day without wondering what was on FB, or in my e-mails.  Without having it in my mind that the computer was waiting in my office--calling me.

She is the most precious computer I have ever seen.  It is half the size of my printer!  It can stand or it can lay.   It's only 4" thick!!





Updated Microsoft Office--which right now is giving me fits because nothing looks right, and Windows 10, which so far isn't bothering me a bit.

A nearly $500.00 computer for $375.00 because I'm a faithful customer and I had spent $200.00 in April for work done on the old one.  She even threw in a new power cord--which I needed as mine was 20 years old and taped on one end with electrical tape.

The new upgrade in Microsoft Office/Outlook Express, fixed all my e-mail problems I had when I was fighting with Comcast last week.  I could send e-mails, but not receive and Comcast said it was my problem.
=================
To celebrate my new baby, I stopped at Walmart and got a new keyboard and mouse.  My old keyboard had most of the letters worn off.  I can type without looking, but it is nice to have a new one plus--both keyboard and mouse are wireless!    Stick a little nubbie thing into a USB port and off we go, no wires.  I love it!!!!!

Now, I just have to remember to take it in for cleaning ever 6 months.  Mine gets full of dust and cat hair.  They put it into a machine, no charge, 30 minutes while you wait, and the machine cleans all the dirt, grime, grease, cat hair out of it.

Comment moderation is now driving me nuts.  I keep forgetting to "publish" your comments and so far haven't figure out an easy way to do it, but I'm learning.

  1. You've got a great relationship with your repair shop. Happy for you. For future reference you can buy replacement decal/letters for your keyboard so you don't have to replace a perfectly good one because the letters wore off.

  2. ALLL good news!

    And example of how shopping locally, can bring good things.

    Comment Moderation.... I have my comments come to my "computer mail box." The 92 dot moon dot 34 at gmail.com one. I go there, every time I come on line. Read comments, if there. Make them Publish. Delete them, from my mail box. Zip... Zip... Zip...

    You can read and Publish them, on your Dashboard, but I prefer the e-mail way. I'm more sure I Published them, this way.

    How are you doing it, now? It shouldn't be hard. But you do have to get used to doing it. Maybe that's the issue? You don't have it firmly in mind, that you have to do Comment Mod, now. Yet.

    Bahhh humbug at those spamers!!!

  5. AWESOME! We just can't live without our internet device, whichever one chooses. I probably should take my Apple laptop in for a cleaning ....

  6. Glad you didn't have to be without a computer for too long. That is a huge computer. I didn't even know they still made stand-alone towers any more. Hope it does all the work you need it to do.

    1. Looks huge in that photo, but is quite small and light weight. Smaller than my printer and about the length of my scanner and only 4" wide.
