Laptop or Desktop? Decisions... Decisions...

Sorry Carol that you can't get the new Computer once you get it Just Make Sure that you Can still make all the stuff you always make for this site like Keepers Nice Avatars if someone needs and so on I cause we would be lost if you could't do all that stuff anymore

840 dollars for brakes??!? Jumping Jiminy! Did they craft the brake pads by hand or what?

I think that was meant Plus Tires but still it's a little EXPENISVE lol

Yeah it's including 4 new tires, plus brakes plus other parts

I remember that Savannah... scary

I'm sorry, Carol. :alright: But the prices of computers/laptops are going down more and more often it seems, maybe by the time you're ready to buy one again the price will be even less.

Yeah, that's what I thought of as well...

In the meantime, I'm adding memory and more space to my laptop, getting it cleaned, added Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007... and bought a new skin for it so it will feel like I have a "new" one... :haha: :shifty:

Oh Carol, that stinks that you can't get a new computer! Gosh, that's the story of our lives in our family....plan for one thing, and then sth else goes out!

Glad to hear you were able to make some new updates though so that it at least 'feels' new!

*For those with a 19 or 20 inch monitor... what is your screen resolution? I have it at 1280 X 768 I think....

congratulations and good luck with it carol...

That's awesome Carol! Congrats! Fast is good!

I switched to a laptop a couple months ago...it freed up a lot of space in our family room, that used to house the big computer armoire. It took some getting used to, but I officially love my laptop! It's a Toshiba...that's about all I know about it. I will say though, I'm not a big fan of Windows Vista. That's taking some 'getting used to' too. :think:

Have fun Carol!

Yeah, I'm trying to get used to Vista too lol
So far though, I haven't had any problems so far with it.... but I'm still a little confused as to where to find the documents and stuff... but I'm sure in time, I'll get used to it.

Congrats
