Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year's Eve & New Year's Day! I can't believe it's 2009!

I'm back at the library again! I still do not have a computer at home! I'm getting so frustrated! Not just with my computer but kind of at my husband. He could care less about the computer. He doesn't really use it - ever - so I guess he doesn't find it vital to get one.

But I was determined to come to the library today and order one on Dell. But now that I'm here I'm at a total loss on how to go about ordering one or what I should be purchasing! I just want the processor and started off with a $299.00 one, by the time I was done it was up to over $500.00! I didn't order it, I guess I need my husband after all! Ugh! I want him to come with me at the library to check it out and help me ordering this! Great I just wanted to get it done today.

When I do install this I think I'm going to install the Norton firewall, etc. Think of it as business insurance for my computer. Because I had McAfee. Which if I got a virus on my computer - didn't do a darn thing to protect it.

So that's it for now. I hope to have this resolved very soon. Thanks to all my loyal readers. And for your comments. I hope to be visiting you real soon. Happy New Year!

  3. It might be easier to get one at Staples instead of ordering online... when my computer crashed last summer, I found an HP notebook that wasn't very expensive, picked up the box, checked out, said "that was easy," took it home and set it up. Since you can't customize it, there aren't any add-on costs other than software.

    Good luck -- we miss you out here in the blogosphere!

  5. Awww Sue,

    I could do a complete Processor for you for below 200 USD and assemble it within 30 minutes.

    Only problem is freight cost and possibly import tax at your end. :(

    Come back soon Sue!!!

  6. newegg.com sells electronics for darn near whole sale. Check them out.

    I hope things get better for you soon. I will keep stopping by. I hope you'll be back with us on a more regular basis soon. Mostly, I hope you finally get the computer business in order. I don't know what I'd do without my PC, so I totally feel your frustration.

  8. Happy New Year! Can't wait until you come back! Also try AVG for your PC. I used to use it before I switched to MAC and it protected very well.

  10. Thank goodness for the library! Hope you find a good one! I know that our local walmart carries those mini-laptops for 399 or so.. and Target has a mini too.

    Happy New Year Sue, hope it brings you a new computer and you and your family great health and happiness!!!
