@pent: i picked out this colour especially for the occasion, considering windows 8 sounds like a gold-plated turd. (this colour is called "gold".) i wasn't going to waste my cash (or torrent time) on it anyway, but now that we have a review, i can warn others of this tomfoolery! >:\

also, i still reccomend Rising Antivirus. it's the easiest one to use i've ever come across (like the Ronco ad said, "Set it and Forget it!") and is actually quite effective. though i'm wondering what kind of sites your grandma is visiting.....

For her, it's the fact she lacks common sense with browsing. She opens every e-mail and every attachment; no matter how many times my uncle has tried to tell her to not do that >_<;;

As for the song, it's a bit funny because she does have a Facebook, although she never uses it ^_^;

well it is better to her to buy Apple computer or Linux based one if she has such an attitude towards the internet surfing...

Eh, I've thought about it, but trying to get her to learn something new is like pulling teeth in space. After my uncle upgraded her PC to Windows 95 ages ago, she sat there for an hour; waiting on Program Manager to come up because she thought it was going to be exactly like 3.11 ^_^;;

So, unless I can find her a Linux distro that looks and feels exactly like Windows XP down to the last detail, there's no switching her to anything else

[Chocofreak13]

someone needs to teach her the proper way to internet. :\

and i'm pretty sure there are linuxes that look the same. barbie linux was one but it was never made. :\

Barbie Linux was a joke originating on .... like, Reddit or something? I have no idea.

My matrilineal grandmother was the same way when it comes to computers. :/ Luckily my stepgrandmother actually has some sense when it comes to going online and stuff.

Linux mint could be configured to look and act very much like windows XP/7. It's just the issue of getting Wine set up properly to run games properly.

[Nichi]

I'll have to try that out and see if I can make it work. If so, maybe I'll try to switch her to that :3

I might be getting a spare experimental laptop sometime soon, depending on if my coworker gets a new laptop.

Today actually went okay at work.  Program went smoothly and so did just about everything else.  It also felt really fast.

[Nichi]

Sounds good :3
I have a feeling if you get that laptop working, Bella will likely say "I can has?"

YESSSS.
I need a newerish laptop so badly, i literally go into conniptions whenever i hear people talk about having multiple notebooks.

I mean i have the HP but i think the adapter is going. Nearly burned my hand on it today and it had only been on for a few minutes. I'm scared of it just bursting into flames or melting or some shit...

THo the new smartphone sort of makes getting a new laptop seem less urgent ...

[Chocofreak13]

don't worry about that adapter. HP supplies always run hot. keep it out of direct sunlight and in a ventilated area.

if you're worried about things going up into flames, i'd look into whether or not your model of HP was recalled. every brand has a flaw, and HP's is heat. (did i mention that it's a miracle that speedy's still alive???)

@stew: a day going by super-fast is a sign that it was easy and you had a good time. :3
props on the laptop, btw.


i'm making a dress! wish me luck. ^^

I'll try to upload some pics after the trip, unfortunately I've forgotten to take my DSLR with me so idk about the quality of my phone camera yet. Currently I'm in Amsterdam, yet for some reason it's the city I like the least of those visited until now.

btw, @Bells: heard you've also got an Android phone How do you like it?

[Nichi]

@Kari: Good luck on the dress ^_^

@Paul: Ah. Hopefully your phone takes good pics :3
