Sometimes You Just Want To Scream!

Have you ever had times when your computer wasn't working right? It's not so much that you can blame the computer because its only a machine with a lot of components and connections but just the same you just want to throw up your arms and say "Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Such was an episode for me today. I had to restart my computer right in the middle of me being online. Something was wrong with my Internet Explorer browser. Every time I tried deleting IE a new IE window would show up. So the only thing that I could think of was to just re-start my computer. So far it has worked! I'm back online again!

Please do not buy a cheap computer!

PLEASE don't buy cheap computers! Don't buy cheap laptops! I know that maybe you feel the urge so bad to buy a computer on the cheap that you might do it but please don't because you will be sorry!

This especially applies to used computers and used laptops. You don't know what's already on the harddrives and once you get it home and start messing with it you might find problems with it and you won't be able to take it back or you won't have a warranty for it!

You can get a good computer or laptop for under $1000. Sometimes there will even be a sale and you will see them advertised for less than that. To some it may seem like a lot of money but believe me you will be spending more money if you have to go back and forth trying to get help for your computer.

My First Computer?

The first computer that I ever had was a Tandy (remember that name) that I got from Radio Shack for Christmas many, many moons ago! I would still have it today but I gave it to a friend of my mother's who was interested in computers but didn't know too much about them.

He bought a computer for $25 which I wouldn't do because I don't think that you can get a good computer - even if its used for just $25!

I think that I am now on my 3rd computer. I would love to have a laptop though - I'm working on that one!

Computers have come a loooong way since I have had my Tandy but you know one of the most interesting things is that myTandy used floppy disks which I'm glad to say my current computer uses also. I mean its nice to have the latest stuff but I still want to be able to use my old stuff too.

XBox Troubles

According to the article the XBox has needed a lot of repairs and Microsoft has spent a lot of money repairing them! Microsoft is also going to offer an extended warranty on its XBoxes.

Because of multiple complaints by consumers Microsoft "looked into" the matter and found a number of hardware problems.

Microsoft's stock decreased during the last period but it was not sure if the problems with the XBox were the cause.
