To zep, with thanks!!!!!!!!!

16 years ago

I lurk a lot, learn some, and reading handyman's posting about the virus, etc., and your concise instructions on the Malware installation, and usage, wanted to thank you so much for posting that info. Been wanting to do this for ages, and always afraid the darn machine knows so much, and will go off on it's own.

Didn't happen, got the business tended to, and feel so smug now, at least I can do that without too much of a problem. All your help to all the people that need it is much appreciated, and sure saves bothering the computer people, who charge an arm and a leg for that sort of advice. There are so many here that are free with the advice, and most appreciative of you all, you know who you are, and know that a lot of us realize how lucky we truly are!!!!

Please keep up the fine work?

I'm speechless, thank-you so much and all the other helpers too! Moving to another state Martinton, ILL. in 7 days. See I met this person while helping them on the computer and have become great friends. Please wish us both luck as we start a new life together.

I second everything Shaddy said.

But, Zep, you can't leave us hanging like that! We need the "rest of the story."

Please; pretty please?

zep wet look finish

We used mop and glow on 3 rooms of old Parquet wood floors. In a few years it built up, blackened or got milky. We stripped it with Zep stripper . (No other product we tried would get the mop and glow off.) Sanding was not an option. Professionals not an option. I'm 70 and my husband is 80. We used a scrapper to get the mop and glow crap off with the Zep stripper in sections as our backs allowed. There was very little if any odor. Did a wonderful job. Just blocked off the area we were working to keep the 2 dogs and 2 cats away. After watching Cheap Geek on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePOlRPa0N7E We put 3 coats of Zep wet look ( not recommended for wood floors.) Really don't know why. We Love it. It's been on for a 1 1/2 years. I can spot clean with more Zep in high traffic areas. You just have to have real clean floors with no pet hair in that area. Drys super fast. No bad smells. Works good on your vinyl dash boards in cars too. Great stuff ! Annette

I love it when everything works out that way! For my small part I say you are most welcome. The LzD team along with Corrine are a great group of people too. Nice to know you are well on your way to being all cleaned up.

Yes adding memory is very easy. First you need to check your computer manual or Google and find out how much it can take. Then decide how much memory you would like and the price of course. I included the Crucial link below, it can scan your computer and recommend the right type and size of memory for you. You do not have to buy Crucial although it is good stuff. Installing more RAM is a simple task. The secret is not to be overwhelmed by what you see once the cover is removed and staying calm. If you get nervous just walk away for a few minutes and try later. Here is a tutorial on how to do it. The one difference I have is to tell you to please remove the power cord from the rear after you shut down. That tutorial is older I suspect, in those days switching off was good. Not any more as the newer motherboard continue to get power even after you switch off - if indeed you have a switch any more. Always rest a bare arm or hand on the metal of the case to ground yourself when working inside. This is not to protect you but to protect the delicate electronic parts inside. Wow! On the hard drive you definitely need to get 5 gigs or more of free space to run anywhere near normal. Don't forget, you can burn some of your data to CDs or DVDs to create more space on the hard drive. DVDs are only pennies these days, as long as you have a DVD burner. If not then use your CD burner to save some data. Here is a link that might be useful: Crucial memory (RAM) scanner

You and many others here are so appreciated and looked up to by us everyday dwebes, and we hope you will be here for us to pick your brain.

We really do depend on you guys, as I have done in the past, I too want to thank you and all you guys that give your time and talents.

Hi everybody!
He sure does! And,here's the rest of the story!
Once upon a time, my kitty cat strolled across my keyboard flipping it 90% to the left.A friend of mine told me to type "function key menu" into my search engine. I came upon this computer help forum and requested help to flip it back. Within minutes this nice fella came along and told me how to fix it. A few days later..I thought, "Wow! maybe they can help me get rid of this silly ad that keeps popping up when I boot up my computer?" So, I posted again. And zep came to my rescue, AGAIN!!! He spent several days helping me clean my computer up. Sometimes till early into the morning!He had to teach me how to copy & paste a log into the reply box!! (hahaha)Yep! It's true!! Couldn't even copy & paste!!
When he found out that I liked Gardening, he introduced me to this forum! Very nice!! I might add! I don't think that I have ever met so many kindred spirits in one place as I have here. Everybody is so eager to step out and lend a hand in a non-judgmental fashion.
You folks haven't lost a member, you have gained one!

Doggone it Zep! Here I thought I was your first love. LOL! But since I'm much too old for you, I want to wish you and bbbluz the very best that life can offer. You deserve it.

You know very well all the times you have rescued me and provided information I needed to help myself on occasion.

Ever since I got my first computer in 1999, this forum has been my "home". Because of it and all the good people over the years who have helped, the only thing I ever spent on computers was about $30 for some parts I bought on eBay for my laptop. It was Zep who steered me to the directions for making the repair to the sound. Well, I lied. I did have to spend money to buy a new hard drive after the one in my desktop gave up the ghost, but encouragement from the good people here got me through that, also.

I have been "hanging around" here for over 12 years. When I got my computer I was retired and didn't even know what a mouse was. I came to Computer Help and read and read and copied. I learned so much from this forum. I have seen many helpers come and go here.

I know you have helped so many people....me included. Thanks so much!!!

And grandms, you are never too old!
Just want you all to know that many times I have stepped aside so he can focus on helping here at the forum. And I will continue to do that once we have settled into our life together. I know how he loves to help! I would never take that from him.

Sue, you're welcome, but I left the juicy stuff out. (sly grin)

Wow. What a great story. There are so many wonderfully generous, selfless people on this forum. I've got amazing help here and am so grateful. It's so heartwarming to hear that such a selfless act has resulted in something so wonderful for Zep and Bbbluz.

Even without the juicy stuff, this really makes me smile. Congratulations to both of you.
