Only thing about laptops is the keyboard, I prefer a raised keyboard and a proper 'mouse'<BR/>He's a gadget boy my lad . . .loves all that stuff!<BR/><BR/>Twitter Spa . .you already know the minutia of my life so I don't need to twitter to anyone but you.<BR/><BR/>Jay .. it's been a while since I've used a Mac but I love that they dont crash or get viruses as easily as the old PC's.<BR/><BR/>Melissa: Handy to have a techy type on call. Fortunately, I have a barage of geeks who are only to willing to help if I come unstuck bless 'em. As for the looking over the shoulder thing, it's a bona fide helpdesk fix! Seriously, all you need is someone behind you and the problem solves itself!<BR/><BR/>C'mon AV . . they're lubly and so easy to navigate. I know EXACTLY what you mean only I have to bite my tongue when our IT guy starts banging on in techyspeak for fear I might lash out and whack him in the dongle.<BR/><BR/>GM: You're very 'connected' as they say! But I can't be bothered with the other chat networks. I'd never get out of my PC chair!<BR/><BR/>Quicky: SNAP, so was our home computer! DOS and all with a dot matrix printer! Then I was around before Microsoft I think!<BR/><BR/>Clare I'm not sure what the go is with Wireless, we can link to the printer but don't seem to have it for internet. Ads is on the case! Maybe we just need an adapter or something. As for the iMac, we've had to clean it off. Sean's coming to reload some software. The Skypout thing is due to the ADSL line unfortunately! We were online from 9 last night, where were you?Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-9208524560179480062008-07-31T07:13:00.001+10:002008-07-31T07:13:00.001+10:00Sorry I meant good, not goof.

Well you can play on my yu beaut 17" MacBook PRO (suck on that Drummer Boy!) when I get home, in case you haven't noticed there's a perfectly goof iMac sitting in my room - why don't you just appropriate that.

His ideas went far beyond what the thing could do (it had about as much brain power as today's keyboards do) and she'd hear him holler, "It won't do what I want it to do!!" :) I hope Drummerboy lets you play with all his new gadgets! I would be lost without Eli's computer knowledge ... I joke that we should make a life-sized cardboard cutout of him to stand behind me while I'm on the computer and then nothing will go wrong -- lol.

I can't see how people would be interested in knowing what I do all day, and to be frank, knowing what time my friends take a coffee break and what they buy at the supermarket would bore me rigid. Maybe I'm doing it an injustice, but .. I don't think I need something else to keep up with.<BR/><BR/>I love Macs too, though it took some persuaded for me to try one. And I think I can beat your first computer. If you don't count the ZX Spectrum, ours was a Commodore Vic 20. Closely followed by a Tandy, which almost looked kosher!

My dad don't use PC at all however he uses his mobile phone well. My mother is not so familiar with phones but she uses PC more. I think I am quite old fashioned compared to my peers because my PC is 8 years old, so I can't play on it and my phone is 6 years old (Nokia 3510i) so I use things as long as they work. I am not planning to replace any of these devices. They will serve me for some more years I hope and when my PC breaks down finally I think I will buy a Lap top for myself. I mean I will be quite independent by that time I hope and if I travel or if I move away from my parent's house then at least I don't have to bring that heavy computer. :DRopihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214991557644729165noreply@blogger.com
