I was hoping for a positive response from you pc medic, I think it is a pretty good price not much more than tesco,s prices, Should recieve it within 2 weeks, im such a happy bunny, at least when i go to wales shortly i will still be able to log onto my broadband and of course GC, As i was dreading going there and not having a computer and worse still having to keep going to an internet cafe, the times i am logging in and out on this one, I would of just gave up keep running in and out ot tenby :D

 

Hi,Rosa. You must have been off on one of you jollies today because haven't heard much from you and it seems like you're telling John he wasn't technical enough for you! :D :D :D :D :D

 

sorry Rosa....have i upset you?

 

Certainly not upset with anyone, never thought that john was not technical enough for me, He showed me some excellent lap-tops, I would definately of chosen one of those expensive ones iff i had seen them year and a half ago, before i had bought this pc.
John i asked for your advise about the one i am buying and i was pleased with your response just then, My answer, I was hoping for a positive response from you pc medic, was not at all negative but i can see how it was taken in a negative form. Please do not think that i am upset with you, definately not. Pleased with everyones input, especially yours pc medic, you have given me some great advice since you offered your services to Gc.

 

your welcome Rosa.......hope you enjoy your laptop........just a little bit of advice....as soon as you get the laptop...go to a computer shop and get the memory upgraded to 512 mb....

this will help the pc when you multi task programs and run memory hungry software.

Thanks pc medic, will a computer shop do this straight away, what should i expect to pay to get the memory upgraded.
Your answer is very much appreciated

 

Hi, Rosa! I was joking with you about John's response to what you are buying because I thought it was very technical ... ole technophobe me! :D :D

You haven't answered my question about your proposed move to Wales? What will happen to your lovely balcony pots and plants?

 

Glad you said that about the 256mb being upgraded, John. It's a too bit low a RAM to run XP on it, isn't it? I have to have both my main PC and my (Acer) laptop upgraded on that account.

BTW - I was informed by a teacher that all their PCs and laptops at their college are Acer. That should be a pretty good recommendation, shouldn't it?
