Since most of my clients use a PC, I want my work to be compatible. I'm not quite ready for a new computer but when I am, I will give this more consideration. Thanks for your comment, Ruth. Evy Hi Ruth,

I’ve seriously considered a MAC too because it is better for graphics and less susceptible to virus attacks but I’ve read that there can be issues between platforms. Since most of my clients use a PC, I want my work to be compatible. I’m not quite ready for a new computer but when I am, I will give this more consideration.

Thanks for your comment, Ruth.

It still runs slowly when my son's on it with so many things running at once but at least it works! Evy Hi Melissa,

I hate to read all of the hoops you had to go through to get your laptop up and running. YES the blue screen of death is A W E F U L!! I hop that you have been able to get a little more secure running of your computer. I am no geek either but I am married to one and HE is my IT person. Big help in that area. Don't hesitate to find someone you can actually trust to help you out when you are down. Remember you can't do it all. There are times when it is best left to the professional. Melissa Oh Evy!!!

I ran into similar issues with my PC, which ended up being about 6-weeks of not being able to use it. Just problem after problem. Obviously, not too good for business... So, I ended up taking the plunge & buying a Mac. Incredibly happy with it, and no issues so far. Evy, I can totally sympathize with you.
