Does it seem to you that it is serving you well?

It used to be a good way to go but now it is more expensive and 
problematic than buying a good off the shelf machine.  Building your own 
or having it built is something to do if you enjoy it.  It's not going 
to save you money or give you a better computer.

Actually Dells rank a little higher on the quality scale than HP's 
and I think even Gateways now.

What do you mean by Dells?


Dell computers. www.dell.com They build computers. It would be like
getting an HP or a Gateway or--gods forbid--a Mac. They build a fairly
quality machine.

If you don't know what you're doing, or have a questionable shop, this
is no good. Isn't this a computer that you use for business? You don't
need the headaches or spending more time on the couch. (-:

If you want to play with computers, get a Dell for work and build
your own for home.

Marcio,

Then your questions for this list will be more about what software can I 
run to accomplish such and such ... or how can I sync it to my 
telephone... and not how do I get it to start up... I've lost 
everything kind of issues...


But we'll help you with whatever ... we're just hoping you don't keep 
subjecting yourself to the more dire problems...

Unfortunately for your prejudices, the information he received was not the 
truth, it was wrong. Out-and-out, unadorned, irredeemably wrong. Not correct. 
False. Unsound. Counterfactual. Inaccurate.
Defective. Faulty. Wrong. If you think otherwise, you have no clue what you're

M$ cares little about new hardware; they tell you when to buy new M$
software, what they make.

Thank you,

HUH?

MS never tells anyone what they have to buy.

I think the 1 Ghz processor speed for 7 is quite low.

I have a couple of those still around but they are old!

I bought an Emachine for my daughter in 03 and it was a 2 Ghz.  (Which
makes it 6 years old)

I know folks that have just upgraded to XP from 98SE.

It is the software vendors that normally require you to upgrade your OS
as they will no longer support or sell upgrades that will work with your
old OS.

Re: [CGUYS] Intensive Care Unit...

2009-09-02 Thread Marcio
Let me first thank all of you... Belonging to this group has saved me thousand 
of dollars from paying a psychoanalyst... Every opinion you give is a big help. 
The reason why I don´t move to another computer shop? Separation Anxiety... 
that is, I get attached to people (and things) and it is hard for me to depart 
from them... This applies to wife, clothes, cars, friends, computer shops, 
and... this list. I am coming to Batimore soon and I hope to bring back the 
Pentium 4 to test in the old computer...before I separate from it...

Will let you all know... but if I become redundant and boring... let me know 
and I will move on to other computer issues... or... buy a Dell. They do have 
Dells in Brazil. In Brazilian Portuguese...

Many thanks 

Marcio
