Seriously, I've been quiet all week and am about to explode! lol
A big welcome to TweetyOhio! Am relieved that Nan's surgery is over and she's doing well. Plus a big congratulations to Dutchess on her solo flight, that was just AMAZING!
Just a thought on the colors problem I saw on yesterday's thread (that I tried to read through but darn it, it was just too long). Could some of us be color blind and that's why some are seeing different colors?
BTW.....What make of computer did you get Billie, need details. :)
Missed you big time sweetie! glad you dropped by & hope the rest is helping your eyes.. and yes, I am awaiting details of Billie's computer also. I love my new one (and posted some of my details the past few days)
LOL No, it probably has something to do with monitor settings.
Morning, (((Aqua)))
Hi Aqua. Want to say that before I go lie down for awhile.
Sorry, sistah, but I just couldn't NOT put your name on a leaf!
And so, does this mean that if we keep adding your name to our graphics, you will have to keep coming and sayin' sumpthin'? ;-)
Well, it was kind of a spur of the moment purchase, though I've been *thinking* about it for a long time and have been saving and reading about different features from all the extra flyers and ads stuffed in our Sunday paper from Best Buy and other electronic stores. Knew when I was ready, I'd just go buy it and not wait to order a Dell. I was pretty sure I wanted a Gateway of some kind.
Okay, I went to Best Buy and picked a Gateway that they had been promoting. It's a Gateway: WindowsXP Media Center Edition 2005, Pentium D Processor (which is newer than a Pentium 4), 250 GB harddrive, 1 GB DDR RAM memory, CD/DVD burner, 17" LCD Flat-Panel Monitor, and color printer. (I didn't need the printer, but it came with the package - I already have a laser printer and a much better color printer). And one of the really neat things about it is that it has a memory card reader for my digital camera on the front. (I had to 'connect' my camera itself to upload pics to the old pc, and it was slower than Christmas transferring them!) This is instant pictures. :)
Aqua and dutchess, I DID get my Adobe PhotoDeluxe (that is NOT compatible with XP!) installed and it is working fine! That, as you know, was one of the main things that kept me tied to Windows 98SE.
I also had to use the Compatibality Wizard that is located in Programs/Accessories to install Gif Construction Set, because it wasn't compatible with XP without it either.
I'm likin' it, sistahs. I don't have to wait forever for pictures to open! :)
