THINGS JUST DIDN'T WORK RIGHT TONIGHT

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.

Re: THINGS JUST DIDN'T WORK RIGHT TONIGHT

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.

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.

@Lindsays Grandma  I'm glad you are listening to that "little guy", because I so look forward to your always timely and welcome, melange of knowledge nuggets.😁 

 

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.🤗❤

No worries @Lindsays Grandma. Your uplifting posts will be welcome whenever you can make them. We can wait if need be.
