There were lots of lovely shiny mac laptops on the train home from work today. I come home to do work of a different type (unpaid) on a computer that is definitely not a mac and rather disappointing.
On the desktop wallpaper of said disappointing computer is a photo of the person I spent my money on seeing in concert instead of buying the computer. |

I had to lower my expectations for a computer after last year but I still look at the macs sometimes and think 'if only'. ;) |

My computer has been pretty sufficient until lately- it's getting to be time for a new one soon. I'd probably already have one if it weren't for certain priorities...;) http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps0ey6cd8y.jpg |
Ooh is that Microsoft XP?
That was one of Microsoft's most loved operating systems and they ended up losing money in it in the long run, hence the removal of the support for it. My newest laptop is on Windows 8.1 and that was quite a strange operating system to begin with. I actually prefer Windows 7 to 8.1 but I didn't have much choice in that. Part of me is thinking about getting one of my older laptops looked at and using that instead and eventually buying a desktop that can do what I need. At least I won't have to buy new programs and some of them are pretty pricey. |

You might be better off putting a little money into your old machine- the parts aren't so expensive, especially if you know someone who can install them for you. Laptops have gotten so powerful these days, I don't think I'll buy another desktop. |
Quote:
If you didn't like Windows 7 then Windows 8 isn't going to be much better IMO. They're working on Windows 9 which works to improve on some of the things that people disliked about Windows 8. There's also rumours that it might be free although I'm not sure on the reliability of that information. |
Quote:
I was afraid of that, re. Windows 8; maybe I'll be able to hold out for 9. |
Quote:
On another note I thought they were jumping to Windows 10 and missing 9 edit, yup, straight to 10.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29431412 |

I didn't buy this computer, The Disabled Students Allowance did (and put all this assistive technology on it for my Open University work). The last one I bought is about three years old but needs looking at. On a whole it's a better computer but still not all that close to what I'd like. I've got an eleven year old laptop sitting around somewhere and that was a brilliant computer in it's day but I don't really know what to do with it now. Quote:

Argh! No more getting distracted by expensive computers. My savings priority has to remain the same.
Maybe I will own an iMac or a MacBook Pro one day but on my budgets it'll have to be either second hand or reconditioned. |
Bought Anji two, both second hand, got our Imac second hand too off a facebook group, £2k 2yrs earlier when new and he accepted £400 for a quick sale, just got to look for the bargains.

Crying at 'Frying Pan'!!! What the hell is wrong with me?

The lift off oversteer on that car was more fierce than I remembered, or maybe I'm just not as quick at catching it as I was 14 years ago!!
I suppose I may post a few more thoughts now, might stop at 26666 posts this time. ;) |

Do people ever bother to read lyrics these days or try to understand what a song is about before spouting their opinions online? And why does every conceivable comments section get turned into a political forum?

Told the boss today that this will be my last tax season. It feels really great to know that I am getting out of public accounting but a little scary at the same time!!
