Something About Nothing..........#5

[Metro West]

I'm very disappointed today. I finally returned my new Dell computer I was waiting on. Tech support seems to think the video card has gone out since my monitor won't work when I plug it in. They suggested I open the CPU and fix it myself...NO WAY! I'm not going to do something to the computer and get stuck with it. So...off to the UPS Store I went. I'll wait a bit to make sure my account is credited and then maybe get something else around Christmas time.

Hey Todd Dell tried the samething to me and I told them samething and when they said they would walk me thru it I told them no way cause I am no computer tech and was no idiot cause no sooner than I break it open then the waranty in void and after months they finally sent me another but then found out it was a refurb .
Needless to say I am using Dells now but I will never buy one agian.
So I guess its hp's for me now

Tell Ya what guys HP Compac is the only way too go.I'm on my second one now,the only reason the first one donnt work is because of lightning. Plus I got Geek Squad that will come out and fix it(unless its to bad,then they will take it)and there service is very resonable!!

I cannt believe how addictave Cash Cab is!!

Hey guys...member me?

So, what's we talkin about? Computers.... we would never own another Comcrap. Last 2 computers DH has bought have been from CyberPowerPC.com and components from Newegg.com. He usually "builds" his own...and only needs to buy a new one when his is no longer upgradeable. Never had a problem.

Don't think we'll be utilizing the Disney promo. Don't think I can convince DH to go to Disney during busy season...and with airfare so high, doubt 2 trips are in the plans. Altho, it's a great deal..no doubt!

minniejack...so glad you found out what the problem is. My BFF has celiac disease and didn't know it till she was almost 40! Since being "fixed", she feels SO much better. Still good to have the tests run.

Sharon...good to see you. I can only imagine how hard it is to have an empty nest after all these years. Tell DH to pick up the slack

scotlas....aren't you using gloves during sparring/training?? We actually have to buy new gear for the boy...he's still using his original gear from when he was 5! Oh, and he is sticking w/ the TKD..studying for his 3rd degree....

What else have I missed...not intentional....

Lawrence...are you all unpacked? How do you like living in the new crib?

Not sure what else I missed.

We are busy with the 4th grade (God how I HATE the 4th grade! ) soccer and karate. Been putting a good dent in the Christmas shopping too...have 1 person already done! Oh, and of course...the PHILLIES!

Other than that...business as usual!

 

[donaldduck352]

I'm not that good at putting computers toghether,so I let Geek Squad come in and do what I donnt know.My mom had two Dells nothing but trouble

OH rub it in Phillies,you know I'm a Rays fan..But I knew they would not win.
But got too give them credit for one heck of a season they had.Last-last year too the World Seires this year,and its a real young team.Watch out next year..

Not yet Barb cause it usually takes DW 2 months to go thru all her stuff but we like the new crib
Now only if we can keep the guy behind us from calling the cops on us everytime we let the dog out and he barks

 

[bubba's mom]

We'll be waiting for ya next year Gotta wonder how much $$ the peeps who bet ON the Phils won (I know the Rays were favored)

In DH's defense, he's a computer tekkie. He upgrades his own computer... video card, power supply, he has 3 (i think) additional hard drives.... ...not me...I'd be calling the Geeks Bubba likes when Dad upgrades his system...that means Bubba gets upgrades (cuz he has Dad's old stuff!) He's the only 9 yr old I know that has a better/faster computer than some adults!

Well...enuf chit chattin'...off to exercise!

Have a good nite everyone

We use Newegg too. Great company to deal with. Has your DH heard that Tweeters is closing? Mine's got a wish list going, waiting a bit to see if the prices come down much more.

Hi Barb - good to see you too! It does feel good to put ME first for a change!

Evening all ...

Well, don't think we'll take advantage of the new Disney discount ... I think we can get a better deal with our AP

Snow forecast for us tomorrow and the next few days ... which is OK - as Halloween is now over and we had great weather for this years festivities

... will check in later ... chao

My mom had two Dells nothing but trouble

This was my third Dell and I never really had problems before. My current Dell is just old and is wearing out but I've never sent one back before. I guess it just shows how quality has gone downhill over the years.

Hey Todd ... sorry about your computer problems. We've always had good luck with HP *knock on wood*

Hey Bonny...unfortunately...I can't see myself buying anything other than Dell. We have Compaq at work at it's pure junk. I've gotten used to Dell but will buy the new one from the outlet...not a brand new one.

 

[macraven]

you both look so nice....
