What do I need in my new computer?

Has my timing gone bizarre - or are Stilly and Deb both posting around 3am???

even dadpad seems to be posting about 2.30am

Yeah, we take a break around then from our wild antics to indulge in mind-expanding drugs and post on A2K......


...prob'ly one of those server-****-up thingies. Like the one that dumped my highly popular 'comment on the ads' thread. Hmmmmm.... to quote the bunny..

I take it back - the time right now (according to A2K) is around 10.30 at night. Don't think so. I might take a look a the time settings for the profile - they probably have set it for Sydney, NS (Novia Scotia*) - not Sydney NSW!



*can you believe that people have actually booked themselves on flights to Australia to land there! Nothing to do but check out the the Canadian Tire catalogue I guess... G-O-GG-TIRE!!

Nope.


I was fast asleep in my little bed by then.

I mentioned CNET before. Here's a page you might want to look at...buyer's guide, tests and reviews, tech staff recommendations, etc

Thankee!

I think Vista is good. I had a pre-release version for I used for a few months. I thought it was better then XP, and liked it alot. However it didn't really change my computing habits, or make my life much easier. When the pre-release expired I went back to XP, and don't think its worth it to pay to upgrade.

So I guess I was just offering the idea as a way to save some money. A quick search at Best Buy (not the cheapest place) shows $240 for Vista Home Premium. I thought if you already had an XP cd, you could just install that on the new computer and save yourself a couple hundred bucks.
