You spent 10 hrs of beating up your computer? Or beating off to your computer?? lol   Â
I had to reload Windows XP along with a bunch of my programs. The computer is just too old and weak to handle all the new software though. My first computer lasted 4 years and this one is 4 years old now so I'm due for a new one.

With the way things are changing we'll need to buy a new computer every month just to keep up.

That's why I put off buying one for so long. I knew it would be obsolete and worthless the next day. There comes a point, though, when you HAVE to buy out of necessity. For me, that is any day now, but I'll try to hold off until my tax refund comes.

Time to upgrade Doug! I have a Dell Dimension 4550 2.0 GHZ. Awesome computer! I've had it for over a year and not one problem!

I'm now convinced that Dell sucks.

Yes, it's time to upgrade, but I'm not ready financially. I have resolved yesterdays problems in the meantime. I'll be building something new during the new year.
