We have become a disposable society. My 12 year old dryer is squeeling like crazy and a computer is outdated after a year. Guess companies figured out reliable didn't help sell more items. So sorry about your computer woes. I certainly know the feeling.Bonnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052974547161586063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-36601134694773099432014-08-23T13:38:31.749-07:002014-08-23T13:38:31.749-07:00I suppose people had other things to worry about b...I suppose people had other things to worry about before all these machines came along, but surely it was much simpler . . . how to fix the harness that broke so you can take the buggy out to do some shopping . . . or your cornbread burnt on the bottom because the fire below the iron skillet hanging in the fireplace was a tad too hot . . . no pesky knobs and switches and things to click and no magic screens with colorful pictures floating across them . . . and no Microsoft either. Maybe you can ask for an iMac for your birthday or Christmas....and leave the PC world behind!Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-74203218290199026842014-08-23T13:09:22.081-07:002014-08-23T13:09:22.081-07:00We're all on board with you!

How nice would that be??!!<br />If course the first order of business around here, would be to give the computer a stern talking to , and tell it to know off the bad attitude!!!<br /><br />Best of luck working out all the bugs.<br /><br />love,<br />K.Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416650902627197826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-32474319882913064132014-08-23T05:51:20.947-07:002014-08-23T05:51:20.947-07:00Oh goodness can I ever relate to this.

And now my spiffy new iron (guess it is a year old) has broken and I am using my old one which does NOT heat up properly and has no steam...sigh. Yes, we are at the mercy of our electronics!

Just think ... if it weren't for your computer, you wouldn't be able to blog ... and we wouldn't know each other. ;-)<br /><br />My laptop is starting to act up ... takes twice as long to load as DH's (and his is twice as old as mine) and will not run at all unless it's plugged in ... isn't a laptop supposed to be portable? I refuse to purchase a new one ... I hope that doesn't bite me in the rear end some day when this one finally croaks, taking with it all my important documents, pictures, etc. Which ought to be my cue to back up those pictures, etc. ;-)Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-11807909601672575992014-08-22T21:08:42.220-07:002014-08-22T21:08:42.220-07:00Wow...your oven...how funny.

I pried my fingers off XP, kicking and screaming, and went to Windows 7 with a terrible attitude. But I lived. And it really is nice to have an operating system that, you know, works.<br /><br />That's really lame that it won't do pictures off your camera! It must have screwed up the USB or motherboard. Do yourself a service and never download Windows Updates EVER. I never do, and my computers last a long time.Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-53242840417084323872014-08-22T16:52:38.859-07:002014-08-22T16:52:38.859-07:00I can't fix your computer woes, but I can reco...I can't fix your computer woes, but I can recommend some wonderful FREE software. <br />Free.avg.com (daily virus protection)<br />www.malwarebytes.org (protects against malware)<br />spywareblaster (protects against spyware)<br />I have used all three of these programs for many years (always the free versions.)<br />They are excellent and my computer, (which I use hard) has always been protected with no problems.<br />I hope everything works itself out soon ;)<br />Rose<br />Three Sheep Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206854154222498852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-53128214634424249562014-08-22T16:48:19.495-07:002014-08-22T16:48:19.495-07:00I have a love/hate relationship with computers!
