Well, we had to get a new computer in the end. It was installed yesterday and, at the moment, I am trying to feel my way around this Vista system.
I must say that, so far, I prefer the old XP but then I guess I was used to it.
The older you get the harder it is to get your head around new things but I have the basics on so the rest can wait. This is my second attempt at posting this. My first effort came out in a most peculiar fashion and no attempts at editing could put it right. I do not know whether Blogger are experiencing problems but my web tracker has written twice telling me they have been unable to connect to this journal site. That has not happened before but the first time they wrote it was on the old computer so it is not the new one causing problems.
A lovely sunny day today but very cold. My bug is much better but I am far from one hundred percent. I remember how long it took Becky to shake it off and she is much younger than myself, of course, and with no medical problems.
Well, I have been messing around on here all day. I keep trying to cut down my computer time but what with all the problems on the old one and now setting up this new one........well you have all been there.
Hopefully, in a couple of days I will be able to catch up with you all again my dear friends and readers. Now I really need to go and do something active.
Welcome back! sorry it took so darn long to get you back online, but happy to see you. Love the photo of the flowers, their beautiful. Hugz~kbear
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are back with us once more. It is a bother getting a new computer. It seems just when I get everything the way I like it zap there it goes. Glad you are better and hopefully you'll be 100% soon.

Welcome back. I often wondered where you had gotten off to.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannette, I`m glad you are much better now and have your new computer too. I have Vista and I didn`t find too much of a difference really, in fact I actually prefer one or two things about it. It`s really cold here too but with the sun and a breeze I`ve managed to get a couple of loads od washing dry outside. Take care. :o)

Glad that you got a new computer. Last year I got a new one with Vista but didn't like it so we took it back and I ordered a new one where they build what you want into one and I had the XP put on it. I probably would have kept the Vista but we could never get it to work on the wireless router we had. Glad that you are feeling a lot better. Hugs, Helen
ReplyDeleteJeannette glad you are feeling better ~ hope you will soon be 100 percent fit ~ It looks like you are getting on well with your new computer ~ Ally x

ReplyDeleteI have two friends that are on Vista...one hates it and one said it was o.k.
ReplyDeleteI personally like XP. I know Microsoft announced they are coming out with Windows8 to replace the Vista. That was on the News.
Hugs, Rose
Glad you are back up & running again. My new computer has Vista and after about 6 months I am still missing XP.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has Vista, I have XP. My sister has Vista. Where my computer is concerned, I'm scared of change, lol. Because I'm computer challenged. I hope you enjoy your new computer and get used to the changes. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in getting your comp set up, Jeannette. Have a good week.

ReplyDeleteJeanette, glad to hear you got a new compute the problems and hopefully won't be having the problems you've been having. Enjoy your sunny day, in our warm South Carolina, USA area we got 6 inches of the white fluffy stuff. Looks like winter wonderland out there, so beautiful...nice to enjoy it without having be in it though. Glad you are feeling better, I've been dealing with a bug for a good week and a half, no fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a new PC, I've never used vista, but sure you'll get the hang of it. It is cold although it was sunny today. wishing you a speedy recovery the various flu bugs that have gone around this year do seem to hang around for a while and glad your feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Doc has Vista while I have XP and so far I prefer my older XP! But if that was all I had I would get used to his I am sure. Seems like a new computer system always takes getting used to, and something happens and you don't know why. It is always nice to hear from you, Jeannette, even though I understand why you have had to cut back. Perfectly.
ReplyDeleteMany people I know don't like Vista at all Jeannette,but you seem very good with computers so I don't think it will take you long to get your head around it all.I wouldn't know where to start LOL!!What a beautiful picture at the top of your posting.Sunny here today too but bitter.Brr Biting wind.I hope you soon feel better.Take Care God Bless Kath xx
ReplyDeleteI, too, am glad to see you back. I've said it before and I'll say it again; you have one of the most interesting journals on line! I've heard nothing good about Vista, but good luck in mastering it. Linda in VA
ReplyDeleteGlad your feeling better! I dont like Vista, crashed my new laptop. We have a terrible bug going around here also, lasts for weeks. Happy your still journaling! take care
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back. You will get used to it. I hope you are feeling better. I finally caught the cold that was going around here.
ReplyDelete(((Jeanette)))
ReplyDeleteCongrads on getting a new system :) Vista is a little bit hard to get used to. Personally I didn't care for it and went back to XP. It's just so simple...LOL

So pleased you are feeling better ,My new Laptop is vista too ,and I quite like it ,though I still do lots on the PC old habits die hard lol..love Jan xx
ReplyDeleteYou'll be used to Vista in no time. I think Vista runs much better than XP.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new computer.

Glad you have managed to get all sorted out again sure you will get used to Vista it can be a bit of of pain, I too was happy with XP but you don't get a choice when you buy a new PC. Love Joan.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading about the work being done with trees in your front yard, and other matters you are currently involved with. You are keeping busy I can appreciate. I have only been reading about Vista and it's replacement to come from Windows. I spent so much money on my computer in 2004,December, that I don't want to think about another one. I bought a $200 extended warranty, which I did not need for my Dell Computer. I can tell you that my Physical Therapy the last 2 weeks has been helping me with back and hip pain. The exercise's I am to do regularly are stretching out my back/hip muscles and I am seeing improvement. I hope your health is doing as well as possible and that you will start getting over the current problems. I enjoyed reading the comments and have learned some things about computer stuff. mark
