Guess who started the New Year with a
C R A S H.
Yep~ my beloved computer died at Christmas. How FuN.
Obviously, I’ve got a new computer—picked it up 11am this very morning, wOO hOO!
And WHEW! No more trying to function by phone!
But it’s new and it’s different and I’ve got some adjusting to do.
Like—WHERE are my pictures loading to? I am NOT appreciating the hide & seek!
I went SMALLER~yet they’re the SAME.
More portable. Light weight.
The OLD screen and keyboard FRAMEWORK were so generously proportioned that they’re virtually IDENTICAL to the new streamlined laptop–as you can see below (which doesn’t seem possible).
The visual screen only dropped from 15″ to a 14″ screen.
How did you decide which one to get, Catherine? And, dare I ask, what did you pay?

THAT’s probably what dragged the whole process out! WHAT do I go to next? One of my big brothers and his family bought me the old one AND this new one! It was a Thank You for a lot of things I’ve done for them.
The 1st was a really good computer so when I outgrew it, I was advised to have a MUCH larger hard drive put in and keep it. The new one they got me for a Christmas present which was aMAZing, but the hard drive wasn’t big enough and I didn’t like the keyboard layout. So I asked–and they said go ahead–I traded UP and paid the difference. I let the pro’s guide me on the technical side since I’m clueless. But I discovered I had limited options–most keyboards are 2/3 “home row,” and 1/3 numeric keyboard. I didn’t like being squished into the 2/3 area since THAT’s what I’m really only using.
The second revelation was that computers are now essentially (what I’ll call) “BASIC” and “LUXURY.” Less money and a LOT of money. I was guided into a really good BASIC that could be added onto and landed in at $400. By summer I MAY need to add to it for another $150-200. But the “Luxury” would have started in the $800’s+ I wasn’t prepared for that. *The dream computer I like was $1600. I didn’t win the lottery so that was a big NO.
Are you looking for a new computer too?

I feel your pain in trying to find pictures! No reasoning on my part can figure it out. Looking forward to seeing what you create next.

So glad I’m not the only dumb-dumb out there! Happy New Year to you too!
