THINGS JUST DIDN'T WORK RIGHT TONIGHT

Lindsays Grandma — Tue, 25 Aug 2020 08:36:49 GMT

This is to all the wonderful posters who look forward to Quotes, Jokes, Laughter, and Words to Live By..., Unfortunately my computer was doing a dance and after attempting to do what I enjoy doing I had to give up. I have been thinking of purchasing a new computer...just goes to show you that the little guy who talks to us when we need something has been telling me to do just that.

YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO

SET ANOTHER GOAL OR TO

DREAM A NEW DREAM.

Dear @Lindsays Grandma Believe me, I understand. Sometimes, I'd like to kick this computer out the front door(!!) It has started doing "auto-fill" on my email. I type in "Hi", and it adds "how are you?" Huh? How is a machine so audacious to "know" what I plan on writing?

Anyway..........I hope you have a happy and interesting day! di

I use to have problems with my computer - until I got a CHROMEBOOK. It does everything I need, simple stuff and never runs slow or has had any problems in years. Google 'why is a chromebook different' and I think you'll be sold if you are looking for trouble free computing.

@Lindsays Grandma

It's amazing how attached we become to out computers. When mine goes on the blink, I go into a small panic, made worse by COVID. I like my Tosiba laptop because I can take it anywhere around the house with me. My battery power cable went bad this spring when stores were closed or had very restricted shopping. I rigged it to function until it died recently. Fortunately, Best Buy is now open for walk-in shopping and I purchased a new cable. Whew!

@Lindsays Grandma I feel your pain. I'm using my GDD's computer because mine went kaputt last week. Waiting on my new one to come.

Another vote for Chromebooks. I have three of them, one is about to go into it's AUE (auto update expiration). Chromebooks have expiration dates and those dates depend on the make and model.

What I love most about CBs is that they don't need security/antivirus software...it's built in. CBs are basically maintenance-free. They update automatically w/o any issues whatsoever.

They are an integral, comforting part of my forum experience.👍 If I am feeling a little down, they put a smile on my face.😊 If I am happy, they make me HAPPIER, and I thank you for the dedication required to do it.🤗❤

@Lindsays Grandma sorry you're having difficulties.

Your posts mean a great deal to many of us.

Hope your computer problems are resolved soon.

I gave up on laptops years ago. I love ❤️ my IPad.

@Desertdi You type "Hi" and your computer adds "how are you"? You have little demons floating around in the system.

I never heard of Chromebook but I will certainly look into it.

Just a few days ago I was thinking about getting a new computer, now I am not thinking, I am doing. What brand did you order? I'm thinking Hewlett Packard, had one for years and was happy with it until it got old and had to be put to pasture.

@Lindsays Grandma I went thru my "settings" today, and found the little demon "helper" that was "putting words in my mouth". I promptly cancelled it. Apparently, it was some "new option". di
