66.82.162.32 (XFF: 10.32.16.38)

Took forever online using my present (crappy) computer but at least it's paid for now. I pick it up at the store in Ridgecrest,Ca on July 24. Then I zoom to the computer shop and probably pay them $100 to get it set up so I can drive 62 miles back home,plug everything in and HOPEFULLY it works. Cost me $650.43 with tax,so far. I have been forced into joining the modern age.

  • Is this a good computer? — Tinfoil, Sun Jul 15 2:54pm
    My computer was made in 2002. Took it to the computer shop recently. Was told the hard drive is too full of crap and my only outlet is buy a new computer. This one looks pretty good to me. Holds... more

      If your old PC has 1.8 GHtz or faster CPU Speed; Then just upgrade the Ram. A Hard-drive that is full should ALWAYS be flushed reformatted and reloaded with the original software plus upgrades. Any... more
      • I'm stuck with the new computer.. — Tinfoil, Sat Jul 21 3:57pm
        Already paid for it so I'd be too embarrassed to change my mind now. Will have the computer shop in Ridgecrest,Ca do all the fixins to my new computer.
    • Yes, but..... — The Gryphon, Mon Jul 16 7:47am
      Yes, that does seem to be a good deal, but the folks at the "computer shop" are just trying to sell more computers (they'll expect you'll bring in your new computer to them to install the... more
      • Well it was a mystery to me.. — Tinfoil, Mon Jul 16 9:24am
        Years ago I paid the computer shop to build a computer for me. In fact all the computers I've ever owned I had built for me. I've never had a store-bought computer. My latest computer became slow... more
        • you sound like my sister — trish, Thu Jul 19 4:04pm
          dragged into the computer age kicking and screaming ... and even now she's hesitant to use it.
          • There was'nt a good defination.. — Tinfoil, Sat Jul 21 3:51pm
            When home computers first made the scene there was'nt mention of their Internet connection. To me and most others 'computer' meant it's a metal machine that computes numbers. And the price back... more
        • Have you done defrags? — Snapdragon, Mon Jul 16 10:45am
          I question the horsecrap of a computer becoming a throwaway ... if you periodically delete junk, programs, files that you're no longer using and then have your PC run a defrag, that process will tidy ... more

    • I prefer a laptop ... — Snapdragon, Sun Jul 15 6:22pm
      ... but since my two cats like the warm air from its back, they have a tendency to cuddle close on the table when I'm working there. I use canned air to blow out the fan area as the FUR tends to... more
    • Never heard of ZT-Affinity, but..... — c.c.keiser, Sun Jul 15 5:51pm
      That is a Lot of computer for under $600. I prefer Notebooks myself, but if you like desktops that doesn't look like a bad deal for the money. Should be great for movies and videos.
      • CNET seems to like it! — c.c.keiser, Mon Jul 16 11:11am

        • I'll buy it right now.. — Tinfoil, Mon Jul 16 3:07pm
          I did'nt want to spend a lot of money right now but it's sort of an emergency. I live in the middle of nowhere alone with my cats. Excellant communication with the planetary library as I call it... more

            "Looks like it'll do everything but have sex with me." Well...it can, but...that's a very expensive upgrade. 8) 100% electronic dude!
