If you could buy a new laptop...
Comments (14)For what it's worth, we had poor experience with Dell. Our desktop hard drive died, without warning - which is how I learned the hard way to make sure I always back stuff up on an external hard drive. Himself was unimpressed with his Dell experiences through work, but is very happy with his HP laptop - so much in fact, that we bought one for his sister. His view is, if you're not getting a Mac, then get an HP....See MoreMy Gramm speciosum has a frind, many friends.
Comments (2)What's really astonishing is the apparent rate of growth. What I thought were flower stalks are going to be new leaf canes. The plant will almost double in size in it's first growing season. I have a smaller Gramm wallessii (probably nothing but a synonym, some people say it's slightly different), it has 2 mature canes, about a foot tall, it's making 5 new ones. Once they get going they enlarge with lightning speed. Nick...See MoreBuying a new laptop...some advice?
Comments (30)Thought I would come back and update. Well, in the end, I decided to go with the Apple. :-) There were so many reasons I wanted to get one and quite a few reasons I didn't want to get another windows machine. Two of the issues that were keeping me from getting the Apple resolved at the last minute and I was very happy to see no obstacles to getting it. I have had a MacBookPro for two weeks now and loving it! Almost have everything moved over from the old computer and Monday got the new printer installed and connected. Tech support has been great as expected. There have been some issues with changing over from the windows system to the Mac. I was using MS Works on the old Dell and converting those to iWorks was not straightforward although in the end most of that is done. Going from MS Office is easier. Changing over from Windows Media Player to iTunes...if you are importing your music to WMPlayer in the wma format, well, come to find out it is a proprietary format to Windows and it is not easy to switch over to mp3 that will allow the iTunes to play it. I had to convert 800 songs to mp3 before moving it to the Apple which was not so great. Time consuming. Had to download four programs on Tuesday and only one of them actually made the conversion. Plus converting the files does lower the quality some. So, I am planning on getting as much off of CDs to replace them as I can, but they are fine for the time being. Just for your information, you can set your WindowsMediaPlayer to import into it in the mp3 format and that will make your life so much easier if/when you want to move them or use another player. Photos were a breeze to move and using iPhoto is just a treat! Such an improvement over my previous photo software for organizing photos. I have never used Photoshop software, so maybe that is as good at organizing as the iPhoto? I do plan on trying photoshop at some point. So that's my story. :-) Jane, I hope you have made the change over to whatever you liked the most and have a new machine that you are happy with. :-)...See MoreMy friend wants a laptop, help?
