Just want to say "woo hoo!!" to Dougie-fresh who spent a large part of today fixing my computer. My pathetic piece-o-crap computer. My computer that is so terrible that, when my mother-in-law used it while she was here said, "I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN STAND TO USE THAT THING!" My computer that takes 20 minutes to "warm up" in the morning, so i start it up and go about my morning and return to it later. It's been bad for a long time. I had the Geeks come out at some point over a year ago. They weren't helpful. I just figured i needed a new one. We bought it in 2002, for crying out loud. But replacing it seemed wasteful when all i do is cruise blogs and buy things online. I don't do a whole lot. I haven't been able to put my blog into a book though, since my computer is so slow, which i'd really like to do.
Anyway. After that longer-than-necessary introduction. Doug decided enough was enough. He got online and figured out what he needed to buy to increase the memory and speed. He bought the stuff and installed it. And when the computer didn't work AT ALL after he installed it, he uninstalled it and figured out how to fix whatever it was that was "corrupt." He reinstalled it and VOILA! I don't have time to get up to go to the bathroom now between pages loading. It just GOES WHERE I ASK IT TO VERY QUICKLY! Holy cow. I am beside myself with joy!
Now, though. Does this mean i'll be more efficient and online less? Or will i just spend more time on the computer since i can get places so fast??
Amazing what a very capable spouse, $75 and 2GB of RAM can do. Yeehaw! Watch me fly!
