Computers........
Excuse me if I was a bit EXUBERANT on my last post; on Friday that was the very first time I ever bought a Brand-New Computer......
...our last 2 Computers were hand-me-downs from Margaret's Dad; the last one had a 6 Gig hard-drive, and could do most things...until its brain melted......it didn't do too bad, when you consider that we took it to the repair shop last year in March - I was offline for 3 MONTHS (some folks thought I'd stopped talking to them), and when we finally got it back 12 weeks later, the guys there said "We couldn't find anything wrong with it" ::)
...the one before that (our second 'puter) had a 500Mb hard-drive, and was as slow as a wet week on the Isle of Wight.....to boot up our Home Page, I'd click on it, & go & make a brew (& drink it) while waiting for it to do its thing.....
...our very first computer was a Mac, which we bought at an auction for $100.....it had a soft-drive of just 1 Meg.......it did me for word-processing, for University......
The New Computer has a hard-drive of 80 Gigs, and is pretty good for such a cheap model - it was just $899 (300 pounds), plus $39 for an anti-virus deal.....
