Hi..
Did Ya'll think I got lost :)
I'm here and learning Windows 8 and now also teaching it to my Daughter. Its kinda like the blind leading the blind, except luckily she doesnt have to have all the programs on her pc that I do, so I can already tell its gonna be a lot easier for her.
While I'm on this subject I just want to say Nortons antivirus and Firewall- that comes free as a 3 month trial WITH your Windows 8, is a royal pain in the patootie and I suggest you use AVG which is also compatible. I am speaking from personal experience here and all opinions are strickly my own..
anyway- why is it a good thing I'm thrifty and a major monthly saver:) cause right at Christmas time I had to buy 2 , thats right 2 brand new computers since ours went Kafllooie~!
As soon as I get all this figured out -- all my programs loaded and functioning properly I'll get back to my decor posting..
In the mean time I'll be visiting ya'll and enjoying what you're doing..
xoxo
Sonny
New computers are wonderful and a headache!!
ReplyDeleteOh how I can relate. DH just upgraded mine and now everything has to be set up again. Kind of a real big chore. I am also learning to use the Ipad I got for Christmas, that i a fun little unit, but also something else to learn. Have a super day. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHave missed you!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Dang glad your back on the blogroll!

Oh- good for you- you are much braver than I am-although I supposed you didn't have much choice with the new Windows program. Good luck and we'll see you soon (I hope) xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYour not alone Sonny, we just bought a new computer a few months ago and I'm still learning and haven't even converted my blog over to it yet! I'm so afraid I'll hit the wrong button and lose everything LOL!
ReplyDeleteBeing frugal is not only fun, it is a necessity these days Sonny. Glad you are a smart cookie!
ReplyDeleteI know how you are feeling because I got a windows 8 lap top for Christmas and wow it's super fast but Lord so much to learn over again! Glad to see your back:)
ReplyDeleteHi Sonny! Happy New Year and congrats on your new computer and your savvy skills. Isn't it fun to learn new things? Keeps the little gray cells active! I am about to get a new Mac. I used my old one so much I developed "kernal failure". Thank goodness my cousin is Mac savvy and can guide me through the techie stuff I don't understand so that I don't look and sound like a complete blonde airhead.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Sonny, I am so afraid I am going to buying a new computer this year also. I know that everything I am used to will change. I am not as clever as you are on these contraptions. :):) xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I have had 4 trouble free years with my computer. Knock on wood!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Oh, so sorry, Sonny. I've been there. Is it just me, or do you have a new look(your blog)? I am soo not observant so I could be totally wrong. If you do, I love it! If you don't , I love it still. Melinda
ReplyDeleteSonny - It is so hard for me to try to learn something new on the computer!! I guess it's my age!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your new computer!

Okay in June I'm going to have to buy a new anti-virus program and was thinking about going back to Norton. Hum??? What is AVG? Right now I use Cyber Defender and it is way too expensive. Is AVG expensive?
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance.
winblows 8? Not fun! A friend needed to buy a new computer and only had Windows 8 as an option - bad news. I am one of those people who get around software easily - but not Windows 8. Although Norton is considered the best - i still find AVG more robust, ie better in all aspects.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonny,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had to buy 2 at once, one is bad enough.......yea, I am dreading the day mine goes out cause I will have to learn that new programming stuff too.........I am just electronically challenged what can I say......so my heart goes out to you, and will pray you can get it all figured out. It seems like they just can't leave anything alone, they always have to be changing it....and from what I have seen not necessarily for the better either!! lol
Hope all is well with you and yours hon, Blessings, Nellie
Oh no two computers at one time would stress me to the limit.
ReplyDeleteI am dreading the day I have to this because I am not good learning and working on things like u my friend.
My new phone will be a big enough challenge for me. Lol
Take care dear friend
Love ya
Maggie
Learning one computer is tough, but two? I am so computer illiterate that it'd be a nightmare. I'm a Mac user, so I don't know anything about windows. Good luck and happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteHi Sonny, hope you get it all figured out. I am tyotally comouter illerate so I get VERY frustrated alot:) Blogger wasn't letting me upload pics so another blogger told me to upload in HTML mode and that worked!!! Fellow bloggers are the BEST!!! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteHi, Sonny! I am sorry to hear you had to replace your computers. It is so hard to transfer everything and get used to the new systems. I have to tell you I really dislike the new windows 8. I guess I am old fashion and I don't do well with changes. My husband and I bough a new All-in-One over the holidays and after two days, we returned it. LOL I told you we don't do good with changes! Eventually we will have to learn the new system, but we are holding on as long as we can. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteI recently got a laptop for my return to school and am struggling too. :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you. How we hate change! Can't wait until you're back!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
You seem well up to the change, way to go.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your header.

Hi Sweetie,

Hope all is well with you and yours,

Hi Dear Sonny
ReplyDeleteWas thinking about you earlier and then I found you on my site leaving a comment. You know I always love love hearing from you.
I guess I should not have wrote about the two women from the documentary Grey Gardens because someone left me a bad comment and made me feel like I was a bad person for writing the post. I really did not mean this to come off as being ugly.
Hope your having a good week.
Love
Maggie
