Scrappile Posted May 8, 2016 Report Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) In March, I started having problems with my computer. Finally it became unusable. Of, course one month after the warranty ran out. I think there was two problems, one a computer and one a Windows 10 related. What I was able to find out about the Window's related problem was it is a know problem and not always fixable without a complete reloading of the system and starting over. I'm not a computer geek, so I called in a friend. She loaned me an old Dell she had bought at a library sell for $25 and took my computer home. I have not heard from her since. Anyway, I was not able to do much with the loaner, but get on and see what was going on in the world, but I have gotten real shy of Windows and didn't want to screw up her computer, so I just looked and left. Spend little time on it. Well I have made the big switch. I bought a Mac Mini. I've had it up for about 4 day and am getting use to it. In fact I am beginning to really like it. I think once I get use to it, I am going to become one of those Apple lovers. I have a brother-in-law that is a Mac lover, and has had one for many years. He is the one that sold me. He is also available to help me learn the new system. Anyway, I'm back in the computer world. I have been watching the forum and there has been some awesome things been completed by you all. I've been enjoying the pictures of Marg's trip to the US. Glad it was such a good trip. Glad to be back. I haven't done much scrolling lately, so much "Spring" things to get done and wood wise I have working on a front-end loader toy I want to give to my Grandson. I have to finish it in the next two weeks for his Birthday. Edited May 8, 2016 by Scrappile Falcon, Scrolling Steve, amazingkevin and 1 other 4 Quote
