hello

How is everyone doing? I know, long time no post. Just been busy with work and family and all the bs that goes with it. We get to register Kaleb for kindergarten next week. It sure doesn't seem right. He shouldn't be old enough to start school
yet.

The internal power supply has gone out on the desktop computer. I'm debating we need to fix it or replace the whole computer. The desktop is 6 years old, needs a new cdrom drive (kaleb stripped the open/close gears out) and it could use a good system clean as I have been having lots of problems getting updates to install or using the system backup feature. Any suggestions? I'm thinking, if I replace, I'll go to a laptop but I'm not sure yet.

howdy there again.

me? up. down. turn around. everyone hit the ground. kinda sums it up for me. could be worse. working for better.

neato on school. as for computers? they are so cheap that even a few hundred bucks can get something new. as i say that i dont have a few hundred but whatever.

Yep! That is so here too. Hopefully Kaleb starting school may be better (in terms of my sanity, as I should have more me time).

I'm the same way on the computer. I don't want to sink a lot of money into it if it's not going to be worth it (as I don't have a lot) but if it's going to be cheaper for the time being to repair, then that's the route I need to go. Kind of like a catch 22.

A desktop is far better and more reliable, it can handle a lot more, but that's up to you. That's just my opinion.

That is what I'm thinking. I kind of want a laptop for portability (so I'm not stuck in the office when I need to use it) but at the same time, with kaleb starting school this fall, I won't need to worry about that as much (as most of my computer time would come while he's at school or sleeping).
