I know how you feel about not having a computer. My son's computer stop working and I will by another one later. My son do not know what to do with his extra time. So I let him use my computer.
-
I have several of them so that won't happen.
-
I have a desktop and a laptop, so I should be good to go. I can also get into the internet with my Kindle Fire.
-
It sucks not to have ur own computer i have to get another and now i have to share one and have a hard time getting on cause everyone else is using it :sad1:
-
Me and my husband have 4 computers (two laptops and two desktops) between the two of us so I think we will be OK if one goes down.
-
my hard drive went on it and the guy at the shop says he has to put a memory stick into it to so i told him to do what he has to do plus my laptop is in the shop to the hard drive was damage when i went htrew security at the airport they slung it down the conveyer belt and it fell and hit the floor so thats why i have to use a freinds computer till i get mine back
-
I feel your pain. My hard drive went out before Christmas. My darling husband gave me a new one for the holidays otherwise I would be crazy.
-
I had dial up for about 6 years. My laptop lasted just that long. My fan burned out. I bought myself a Desktop PC. There were times when it would be sooooo slow. I went to the public computer in my building that has high speed internet. I decided 2012 was the year to upgrade to high speed. My local phone company is not just local; it's nationwide.....never have to change companies.
-
I'm sorry to hear you're without a computer right now. I know how that feels. It throws everything off when I don't have access to mine.

lucky u Old Buddy ;D

Just a tip for avoiding this problem. If you get a copy of Linux on a CD, you can actually boot from it and surf the Internet with NO HARD DRIVE and it's free.
-
we have 2 computers one for hubby and one for me. I would not be too happy if I had to use hubby's tho. His sucks! lol I feel your pain
-
I know what you mean. There have been a few times I had to use my sisters or go to the library and it seems to take us out of our comfort zones. How weird; it's like not wearing your jewelry - all of a sudden you feel naked without it.
-
I did find a new drive for the old laptop that went out on Amazon. It was about $90 and most of reviews said it wasn't too difficult to replace. I was going to go that route until my husband surprised me with a new computer.
-
I can sure relate. My computer was down for awhile and I had to use my sons. It was no fun at all cause he was on it all the time.
-
What? You lucky girl. What a nice surprise your're husband did for you.
-
lol. i hear ya. im usin my moms computer now, i have my own but they are flaky they only work sometimes. one day im gonna buy a new one. maybe with fusioncash money. ;)

If you dig around on Ebay you can find refurbished laptop hard drives for around $12 with free shipping. Why not get one and fix your old laptop up so you can run Linus on it?

I have 3 computers, 2 laptops and a desktop. I lost the hard drive in my old laptop to a virus, so then I got Linux installed. I make sure I always keep my files baked up, especially my photos, in case it happens again to one of my other computers. (I was told that Linux usually doesn't get viruses, so I don't have to worry about that one. And it is good for doing offers, since you don't need to have an anti-virus program that potentially will keep the offers from crediting).

My internet was down for about 48 hours and I was beginning to get very irritable. I went to the library once but didn't feel comfortable logging in to my FusionCash because I didn't want a different IP address to show up. We can thank the good Lord that my internet is working again so I can complete offers and do my thing on this site.
Life is good! :heart:
-
I completely know how you feel, my computer just died a few days ago. And I can't afford a new one right now! :BangHead: :BangHead:
-
::) I am having to use an older one it is slower than molasses.
-
GoodBuddy - I might try the eBay route. I've got a new computer now but it wouldn't hurt to have a backup plus I'd like to learn more about this stuff. Can't believe how frustrated and helpless computer problems leave me feeling. Kinda of makes me long for a slide ruler. Course all I could do with a slide ruler would be slap someone.
-
My favorite one crashed on New Years Day and I'm having to use the older one as a backup. :crybaby2: I have a friend that is going to try and get the crashed one back up and going again when he gets back from vacation in a couple of weeks. I really hope he can because I did the very dumb thing of keeping files of precious photos and irreplaceable things on there that are valuable without a backup and it's very likely all that is gone forever. I can't wait until he gets back and takes a look at it.
If you get them back, I would suggest that you get a Google account which will allow you to keep 2gb of pictures far more securely than on a personal computer. I also use Photobucket as a backup. I've just had too many computers bite the dust to trust them with really important things like pictures :) I'm not real fond of the way Google gets into everything or their politics but they do provide a great service for free.

This must be the month for broken computers. Mine broke also. Been trying to do this on my phone that is not a smartphone and that was funny. Secretly using the one at work . :wave:

There are not many things as worst as losing your computer or internet connection.

you know all you needed to do is get a program to overwrite your drive with zeros effectively deleting the virus... of course use another computer to make the bootable cd with the tool so that way it doesnt get infected. then repartition, reformat, and reinstall os. it is impossible for a virus to mechanically destroy a hard drive.

Go to your local library with Internet access. It is free!
-
I know how this feels, just last month my computer was out for over a week and I had no back up computer.
-
same here thank god for friends
-
I am also lucky to have two, one laptop and one desktop. I bought the laptop last December 2010, when I gave my older laptop to my Grandson. I think I will always carry two Computer's. You never know when one of them will crash or get a virus, at least you still have one until you can repair the other.

YAY my hubby just help me buy a new laptop so EXCITED right now!!! ;D ;) :notworthy: :wave: :thumbsup: FINALLY!!! UGH! I felt so empty without a laptop.
