And when you're computer won't work, you can't get to them! Very irritating. And it's irritating that even if you can get into the internet, that the phone numbers are buried.

My old one was so old it had Windows 98 on it. When I would try to open a site with a lot of graphics it would take forever, and if the site had music, crash city. Now that I've got the new one I can see why a couple of sites that I liked to go to crashed my computer, they have music.Linda Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496464041656744569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-5905381943287324122010-09-02T02:49:54.185-07:002010-09-02T02:49:54.185-07:00A couple years ago we lost EVERYTHING when the har...A couple years ago we lost EVERYTHING when the hard drive fried itself.
