218460, New Computer& New Laptop
Posted by Daylilydayzed, Sun Mar-28-21 04:30 AM
Since the last time I checked in here, the remodel is finally finished. Wider doorways carpet out, vinyl flooring in and so on. 2 years ago our youngest son and his family gave my husband a Dell Laptop as a Christmas gift. My husband is not a computer person. He uses it for his email and banking online and paying bills on line. That is it. When something goes wrong (Hits wrong key or something) he asks me to help. Well some times I can't because I am on HP and his is Dell. These Two don't mix.
Back before Christmas, the Ethernet port on my HP desktop quit communicating with the router . My computer would show I was connected to the network but not to the Internet. So I had to get a new Computer.
I took money out of my Daylily Convention savings and ordered a new Dell Desktop so the now when my hubby needs help I can help him.
When we packed up every thing to get ready for the remodel, my new computer got packed up to. So I had to use my HP laptop , It had Windows Vista operating system and has gotten so slow that It would take more than 5 minutes to open the browser from the time it was turned on. So I ordered a new(to me) refurbished Dell laptop from Tiger Direct.It is a Latitude 3350 running Windows 10 pro. So far I am getting all my other sites back and getting back to normal.
PS Both my husband I have had both shots. Hopefully we can go see our grandsons this Christmas 2021:clap:
