My PC is on it's last leg and I am headed out to purchase another one. Any input from the great EE's will be appreciated. Should I go with Apple product, stick with HP. I just hope this piece of junk last long enough for me to get your answers!! Guess I shouldn't complain since I bought it the day Win XP came out but it is just giving me way to much trouble to keep restoring back to original state. But COMPLAIN I will Probably will go into fetal position and start sucking my thumb if I can't lurk around EE for a day or two

Could you take your current computer to a nearby computer store and have it refurbished??... I have 4 17"-Viaos That are 'scubbed' that I'm going to for 100$ each I've had them 2 yrs and they were manufactured 6 yrs ago.

It's been scrubbed - put back to original state from recovery disc but for some reason the same thing keeps happening. I was on WinXP sp1, then to sp2 and now sp3. I think something is just hanging out there and causing crash of Windows components. Guess I am just tired of the problems. Funny thing is this wasn't a total crash since I am surfing but have corrupted Win components or what ever you call them. I think I will just sit down and cry tonight. Hell, I am going to drag out the Vodka Oh should add that it went to computer store yesterday and just got it back - decided not to do the system restore again......

When I bought my new computer last fall, I brought it home, unpacked it, hooked everything up and I was back online within 1/2 hour of arriving home.
It was cheaper in the long run from getting the old one serviced - I got a package deal - CPU + monitor.

If you have a Best Buy near you, check them out - you can usually negotiate on the price.

It was cheaper in the long run from getting the old one serviced - I got a package deal - CPU + monitor. That is my thinking also. It cost $160 last time but they also upgraded me to SP3 and a few other things, but it will cost me $100 this time. I don't need a monitor, so just going for the CPU. I just hate the leg work - off to do some research online to see who has the best deals.

I want a Kindle or something similar to tote around so I am not left in the dust on important smiley fights. I want to sit outside. I will consult my GD who has one. Bear in mind, I have difficulty using a cell phone. I couldn't turn the page on her Kindle in Feb.

Ditto on the new computer. Better to get a new one, than fixing an outdated one.

I bought a Samsung laptop last month and I love it. Seriously, I love it. I proposed marriage and it said yes.
