Well my hard disk crashed last Friday. Then my hubby said I could have the second hard drive in HIS computer, so I did that. Then the "new" hard drive wouldn't recognise my modem. Then it decided it wouldn't recognise my DSL ethernet card. THEN is when I gave up Wednesday and took the computer to the "doctor" and the doctor said:.....
You can't DO that!! So right now I am typing this on a 1995 HP 75mHz Pentium I with a hopping BIG modem (14.4)!!
It's not fast enough to chat, but it will let me send stuff from her verrrrrryyyyyy slooooooowly!
So my "new" 1800 Celeron 80 gig Hard drive with double RAM (the WILL use the same case)will be ready next wednesday. Then and only then.....oh well.....and Mary, I am NOT addicted....*I* am DEDICATED to chat.
Ken,
I still have a Commodore Vic-20 that at the time was THE BOMB! It has FOUR...count 'em FOUR meg of RAM and an audiotape player for the memory. Totally in Basic. Now it's not even useful as a boat anchor.
We also have an IBM pc jr. a 286 by Scott (An Emerson clone) ,another P I across the room under the table, this HP P/I 75 mHz, hubby's Athelon w/ the "other HD-that I didn't steal."
The whole upgrade-remake is supposed to cost $399. The last 3 'puters we've had were made by this same guy at Softek. They're all mucho better than the "store bought ones."
Anyway I'm betting it will be out of date by Monday, not Tuesday!
And Dennie I am NOT in withdrawal.......reeeeeeaaaaalllllly NOT.......
