That way you don't have to pay anyone to do it. If you saved your stuff most likely your good. I hope you do have a memory stick and have all your pictures and important info save in it. If not go ahead and buy it since it's always handy. If you don't have alot to save a 2gb or 4gb is fine. I need a 16gb for all my junk

If your writing stuff remember to save after every paragraph.

Wish I could have tried that before taking it in...oh well. I dont have a memory stick, just a hard drive to back things up on.

I need a new laptop, maybe the dell 14z, thin and light. Saving my money and setting some goals for myself. My 17" is almost 8 years old and will make a cute yard ornament!!!!!

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.
