With Windows XP approaching unsupported status, we decided that this would be a good time to get a new computer for Ginny. She was pretty excited about the prospect. Her old one was getting pretty rickety. So we headed up to Frys and got a nice HP Pavilion All In One. The way it works in our family is that she gets the computer and I have to spend all the time getting the stupid thing set up. We also got to thinking after we got back that our old, noisy, sounds like it is about to self destruct laser printer needed replacing as well. We headed back to Frys and got an HP network laser printer. I did manage to get everything working and properly configured. That means tomorrow Ginny can take command of the starship and be off and running. I have to admit that the new machine is really very nice. It uses Windows 8.1, which is confusing to me. Will we ever get back to the old A:> prompt? |
