Something wrong with the House?

[Bermy]

I was blocked out for a week, wasn't just the House, I couldn't log in to my webmail either. It was Google chrome gone on a hissy fit. Had to change browsers on my tablet. All is well now!

Lordy!

I bet a nickel it was your tablet...

 

[Bermy]

Yup, WiFi connection have been too weak to download an update for chrome....went to the computer store and they sorted it out for me.
Tablets are handy but this little one has its limitations

Heading to the big town to the south to buy a new lap top.

I suspect everything will get better.

Hard to believe a 2012 machine would be too old and die.

Gonna get an HP 17 inch or so. Intel I5 or seven with a terabyte of something.

Get a MacBook.

My current one is 2.5 years old but my old one still works and is 8 years old.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yeah? Thats not windows right?

I have heard a lot of folks like them.

Could a life long pc guy run a mac?

 

[biggun]

They are different but once you settle into them and work it out it is very simple to use. My old fella bought a desktop a few years ago and he can't even remember how to use a PC now. Neither can I. They just feel so alien after the simplicity of a mac.

My mack book is 6 years old and working well.

Talking about old computers, my old iMac lasted at least ten years, on it's own came back to life a number of times. Finally, it smelled funny for a few days and then sent a plume of ugly black smoke up to the ceiling and everything stopped. I knew it wouldn't be coming back.

.....once you let the smoke out.......

 

[MasterBlaster]

You've got to routinely blow those tiny fans out. That's why I like a PC - big fans and easy to clean.

Letters have been disappearing in posts for me, I thought it was my desk top, but it happened on my phone. Refresh fixed it.

A post in a thread would look like " t .. g .. as ... u"

Not been drinking today.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Anybody else?

I'm fine, here.

 

[FireFighterZero]

All's quiet on the Northern Front.
