It looks like my computer`s power supply died
I`m on a friend`s puter briefly.

At home Jack, I don`t have one in any of my trucks or Lincoln.
No spell checker or my favorite book marks on this puter either.......

Depending how old your computer is, might be time for an upgrade, you can get pretty slick systems now for very very reasonable prices!

Mine is 3-4 years old, out dated once I hit the door on the way out after I bought it......
I waz thinking about an update too and keep the old one for a spare/back up.

Not a bad idea to have a spare.

Kinda funny how fast they get outdated hey? I built mine, a decent computer when I built it, still works well, but now I see the same basic specs in the stores for like 500 bucks, for a whole setup lol.

I`m on a borrowed lap top and with my fat fingers I don`t care for it though it is a way to get on here. Miss the spell checker too!

I sure liked my laptop for alot of things, but one thing I hated was the pure lack of speed compared to a good desktop.

Nothing beats a laptop with wireless though, sit on the couch, play on the net, its nice!

I prefer my laptop to my desktop. There are so many ways to go. I went with a 14" so its more portable and really enjoy wireless internet connections in hotels, etc. If I was doing it again, maybe go smaller yet and get a full size keyboard/ 19" video screen for at home?? My Blackberry can do lots of that portable stuff so I am not sure what will be my next combination???

That's why I love by Blackberry Pearl Flip.

All the functionality of a Blackberry, yet it's no bigger then then phone I had before, Motorola Krzr.

Love it, never will go back to a regular cell phone again.
