Lost Windows

Janet, you are right there are many many fewer problems with a Mac - and even though there are some programs that Mac is not compatible with, it is much more common for a PC program that is not compatible with Mac. Most Mac programs are compatible with PC stuff. It really isn't a problem though at all. Also, do not get a Mac Air - get the Macbook like Betsi has. There are some processor problems with the Mac Air.

That's the pits to have computer problems!! They are so expensive to replace and it's difficult to figure out just what it is that you need. I don't have any recommendations on what to get!!

I don't really have any idea what I want either. I just don't want to spend a lot of money. Guess for now I will continue to check them out....Mac's and PC's.

Get it from Best Buy. Most of the time they offer a great no interest payment incentive.

Best Buy is great. I just bought my boys a HP from Best Buy and it's perfect for them. Great memory storage, nice design for $300. Better than what I have at the moment.

We buy most of our electronics from Best Buy. Still don't have my laptop back. Hopefully they'll have it ready soon....feel kind of lost without it....lol

I have Vista and it hasn't crashed in a long time. Definitely back up all your pix, music, documents, and whatever else you want to keep from now on. I use flash drives. My plan is to put everything onto flash drives and then delete them from my pc altogether. It's time consuming, so I have been putting it off.

I don't love my ipad. I prefer the big screen on my pc. I'm also familiar with how to negfotiate around it. I didn't need the iPad.

I do love my ipod! I have a lot of my music on it, sirius xm radio, audiobooks, Pandora,, and our local radio station. I bought a charger/speaker which allows me to listen to whatever I want without earphones. The sound is excellent too!

It is a big decision!!! Cnet.com has come out with reviews for 2011. I haven't checked it out yet, but I like their reviews. Amazon's customer reviews are very helpful too. Consumersearch.com is also helpful.
