Well its official, Time of Death: This past weekend... patient: my old dell. My old computer finally passed on. COD: I think the power went out while we were in Macon this past weekend and jacked the thing up, crabby called it last night and said its time to move on. AGE: A good 7 years....
So now I'm scrambling to find a computer for home. One of the agreements wife and I had was new job = new computer for Chris. Granted when work gave me a laptop my desire for a computer dwindled to little. That and on top of it I don't play computer games anymore so I really don't see a need for a computer other than to give janelle access to one as well as have something that can store my photos, music, and videos.... hmmm... that sounds like a perfect job for a mac.
I've priced Dell's and pretty much to get an adequate dell you're looking at 600-700 bucks. The 350 one they advertise isn't worth anything. Its so barebones you'd be lucky to run the internet.
Mac's are a bit more but would probably work better (no crashing or blue screens) and is designed for what we need it for.
I wish I could borrow a mac for a bit. I want to borrow the 17 inch iMac to see how I would like it. Granted they don't have a borrow program. I may hit up the store in Lennox but everything I've heard on the web says they're incompetent as all get out.
My problem with PCs is they're getting more and more complicated. I feel like an old man now when I try to do something on a PC b/c I have no clue what I'm doing... "Dang! Just deleted some program that was vital.... do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars... and wish you knew something about computers"
