Windows ME was not a very stable Operating System. 🙁

Got that right my friend Maybe it was also because I had a Compaq 😀 😛
Could be. I was never a big fan of Compaq.
😀 😀 😛
It was what I could afford at the time 🙁
I will say laptop prices have come down a good bit over the years 😀 😛
Indeed they have. Desktop prices are pretty low now as well. 😀 😀 😛
I guess when the newness of a product goes away,prices come down I wish CD prices would They are supposed to be cheaper to make than the old cassette tapes 😀 😛
Yes it very cheap to make CDs. 😀 The economy is also driving down prices. Businesses are selling things cheaper because they need to sell them. A 2000 dollar laptop that never sells is not as good as a 1000 dollar laptop that is flying off the shelves. 😀

desktop are cheep here now and you get a lot .. I have a lap top 320 gig mem 4 gig mem ram 2 gig amd turion and it cost 800
Quite true. Ironically I have a few older systems in need of repair but if I have someone repair it it will likely cost me 300 or more. It might be cheaper to just buy a new one.

Even some truck stop prices are coming down Hell must be freezing over 😛

Maybe Pauly Shore will win an acamedy award as well this year. 😛Never did understand why it's usually cheaper to buy something new,vs getting something repaired 😀 😛
Computer printers are the biggest culprits of that. Buying a new black inket cartridge and new color cartridge cost more then buying a new system with the cartridges included. LOL

I have one old one it needs 2 things a cdrw internal and a new eithernet it blew when lightning struck
I don't think even the vorpal bunnies know why that is 😀 😛

Is the ethernet usually the way you connect? 😀 😛
My new laptop has vista and I hate it
Vista sucks. I know I have a system with it. I use it mainly to test my product packages on to make sure they work. In my opinion Vista was an excersize to make everyone have to upgrade all their hardware and external devices. Many companies did not develop drivers for their older scanners and printers that were Vista compatable. Thus many people had to buy new scanners and such even though their old ones still worked. Also Vista requirments forced people to buy much more memory, bigger hard drives, and better video cards just to run the darn thing. 🙁

The old saying,if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to my mind 😀 😛
Quite true. XP works quite well and has very reasonable syste requirements. 😀
