Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Hi Everyone. Hope everyone is having a great day and also winning.

Need some advice. Thought my desktop was all fixed but it's not okay, so I'm going to get a new one, probably this coming week. Mine is a Sony and has been terrific these past 7 years but I think I need to upgrade.

I want a desktop again and I want an Intel processor. Should I go for the i7 or is that too risky. I really don't want it to get outdated too soon. I'm one of those people who get attached to things and find it hard to let go.

Any strong feelings what brand I should get: HP, Gateway, Asus, Dell? Thought your own experience would help me decide. Plan to get it at BestBuy, Staples, or perhaps Tiger. I got my second computer from them over 10 years ago. Got the Sony from BestBuy.

I'll check back later. Will be gone for several hours.

Thank goodness I still have the netbook, but it's not as easy to use.
Netbook is not that easy to use but you will get used to it in the interim. I did only that for over a month. I am a creature of habit and get attached to things also. My first home computer was a Gateway and I guess because the technology 15 years ago was not that great I had nothing but problems. But I don't think I would ever get another one. But, that was a long time ago. I have always since then bought HP's (printers and computers) and always thru Staples because I have the availability of calling both Staples or HP if necessary. And the extended guarantees offered by either HP or Staples. Again, I am not that good on computers and like things simple, as you know. I function mostly in stupid ways that I am able to set up but I have good speed. I have the Internet explorer 8 on the netbook because 9 screwed it up when I first got it and it taked me a long time to do sweeps on that, but I like the little Samsung. I have IE9 on this new desktop and use an older version of Firefox Mozilla for my sweeps and the funny farm only because I am afraid to change and that I will lose all my links. I guess I am not much help but I tried to be. Others will be more helpful. I have no one to show me how to do "stuff" only what people tell me to do. Confused

Jules is functioning fine with her netbook while away. She could guide you when she returns She puts up pics and everything with it. See what she has (IE 8 or 9). She is doing fantastic with it.

i7 over priced and not worth the extra cost unless you do film editing
get i5 dell is a good choice
do not get HP

Lenovo is also good choice. used to be IBM

I make these recommendations from listening to Leo Laport on the radio every Saturday and Sunday

here is his site:
http://techguylabs.com/radio/pmwiki.php

these are his recommendations every week Dell and Lenovo
I tend to agree with this too he also says get the i5
