*sigh* The more they fix the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the sink.

I haven't graduated to laptops. After a lot of thinking, I went for a desktop again. I do like XP better, though. And the monitor feels odd... I wish they were more square. Maybe I should've gotten 19" or 21". This one is 23" and I'm sure glad it's not any bigger... Feels like a TV hooked to a computer. I was kind of excited about this idea, but gave up after checking this set-up in somebody's home.

Funny thing is after I finally figured how to transfer pics from my cell (all on my own, I should say!), now that program doesn't work with Windows 7!

LOL - I have the "Entertainment" version of the laptop so it has a humongous screen. Still can't get used to how wide it is, especially when I'm forced to use the dinky little mousepad. I'm thinking of using an old-style hard-wired clicky-mouse instead.

Oy, SO many of my old programs won't work with this thing, even in the so-called Compatibility mode. And I STILL can't transfer pics from my phone, but that's probably because Motorola is just a freaky company to deal with.

Thank Buddha my porn is intact!

The pads are what I hate the most about the laptops. Well, along with the charging, overheating, etc. BS. It didn't make sense to me to get a less powerful computer if I am to use it mostly on the desk after all... Somehow I can't manage to type, eat, drink, and smoke in bed at the same time and don't want the bedroom that smoky. That's why I was thinking of hooking up a computer to a TV in the living room, but the whole thing looked bizarre...

And people tell me to become a cougar! I can't deal with a friggin' new computer!

I had no idea (and still don't) what the difference is between 32-bit and 64-bit and was told some programs don't work yet with 64-bit... My phone is Samsung and there was a nifty and simple program that even I could figure easily and now it doesn't work!

Thank Buddha my porn is intact!

So is mine!

Well, you know me and my minimalist ways - I figure the next time I move, it would be easier to carry one laptop than 3 big boxes full of junk.

I don't mind the overheating since, in the winter time, it'll warm my lap in bed. The short time on a charge, though...sucks.

I think the difference between 32- and 64-bit is that the software guys can now re-sell you all your old programs at inflated prices because it has a "64-bit!!!" sticker on the box.

So is mine!

Yeah, that gave me a huge sigh of relief - you know my tastes - it would be impossible to get the same stuff again, since now they execute you for having it.

Glad to know somebody is up to the job!

I suspect so, too. This time I don't have a copy of Office, but I didn't buy it. Screw them! Buying software just goes against my principles! The stripped-down versions seems to be OK for my needs.

Yeah, I've always wondered how some of your movies exist at all!

See? I still love you enough that I feed you straight lines to play with!

I made them back before all those silly "be-nice-to-animals" laws went into effect...

True. Well, it's late and I drank... It ought to be easy! Besides, you NEED to keep me happy!

*cough* pirate sites *cough*

We'll see... So far that Windows Live Mail seems to be OK and Word and Excel look almost like the full versions. What they're missing I probably don't even need.

I had those snuff movies in mind...

I still XP and get along fine with it. I use open office for Documents and spreadsheets and all that stuff.

Well, lucky you! I just did some research and no, Samsung doesn't have a version of PC Studio 3 for Windows 7. No drivers, either. Even a Samsung laptop doesn't work with a Samsung phone! Isn't IT just lovely?!

If you do it just right, I believe you can manage to have a second OS, say XP, on your new toy. Not sure of exactly how - probably involves partitioning.

Me too!
