Hi Linda, Wish we would have thought to order my laptop with XP, instead of Vista. With what I do, I don't like it, but, after a while, I'm sure it will be okay. It's just a pain when you go to do something that worked so well in XP, and gives such a problem in Vista. Did you have your computer on a surge protector? Glad someone knows how to extract all your old info from the burned out computer. Hope it works for you. Yes, I have an external hard drive to back up all my stuff. Wouldn't be without it. But, Mike has to do something to my files, so that I can do a clean backup. Don't know what happens, but it certainly is a pain to back up all my stuff. He always has to take over the operation and I want to be able to do it myself, instead of having to ask him so many questions, and eventually taking over, because the backup isn't running smoothly. I love to play my new game, that my sister-in-law bought for my birthday_it's Mahjong Quest III. Mike told me that he knew I could load it myself, but NOOOOO, it didn't work the first or second time with this new computer_though it was Vista compatible. He had to take over that also, and play with the thing, not having very nice things to say regarding Bill Gates, while doing it. So, glad yho like your Vista_you're the first person I actually heard say that :o) Hugs and a cup of coffee from Columbia_though I am a Harris Green Tea drinker, here :o) I will have a cup or two of coffee with Mike now and then, especially if I make it in our coffee maker :o) Lynn Linda wrote: I like the idea of all of us sitting down and having a cup of coffee together!! Guess I better get up and make a cup before I continue on here!!! My computer got a power surge. So....after work yesterday I stopped by Staples and came home with a new computer. I hated the idea of having to get Vista. I just loved my Windows XP...but, you know what....it isn`t bad at all....so far!!!! On saturday, I have someone coming to take the hard drive out of my old one and plug it into my new one...hopefully, I will be able to get my pictures and anything else out of it!!!! Thousands and thousands of my pictures that I never took the time to back up!!!

Hi everyone!!! Yes, I did have a surge protector, but I did hear on tv some time ago that they don`t always work. Then, when I bought my new computer, the guy told me that there are different "powers" (or what ever you call it) of them. He suggested that I pick out a middle range one. Who knows just what I had that didn`t work. Hopefully, both of my printers are okay. I haven`t been able to try them out yet....however, they both turn on which is more than what my computer did. I was able to put in some programs that I loved in my windows xp, but they work different in Vista. I will get used to using it, before long I will forget how much I liked my XP.....(maybe if I tell myself and everyone else that....I will actually believe it too!!!!) Seriously though, it isn`t nearly as bad as I though it would be. I bought myself one of those Kuerig coffee makers. They are wonderful !!! I have to have only decaf. It makes a great cup of coffee!!! It is very cold here in south central PA....exspecially in an older house....where it is only 62 in the house when I get up....thankfully, we have a ceramic heater and also turn on the oven to get it a bit warmer in here. Lots of blankets on my bed and of course it helps to have cats that like to sleep with me and help keep me warm too!!! I will give someone else a chance to talk now....how bout passing some pie over to me now??? ~~~Linda~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn Vondran" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 10:17 PM Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] let`s have coffee > Hi Linda, > Wish we would have thought to order my laptop with XP, instead of Vista. > With what I do, I don't like it, but, after a while, I'm sure it will be > okay.

Sorry, Linda, again, but I just read a blurb that Vista was going to be dropped due to all the trouble people are having with it. Have no idea what will replace it.

Sorry, Linda, again, but I just read a blurb that Vista is going to be dropped and replaced with an update of something else.? Not sure what but it is gone.? I hated it but did not know at the time we could request XP.? Figured we then would no longer get service.? Oh, well.? Ever the planned obsolescence so we consume more products.? Hate being manipulated like that.?
