Feels Like Monday
Don’t ask me why, but it feels more like a Monday to me. (Yuck)
Sometimes, you just have to laugh..
“Run away, Forrest, run away!”
(Yes. That flick is still on my Top Movies Of All Time List.)

There comes a point where, you have to decide. Is it worth repairing, or am I better off getting a new one? (And no, just because we live in a “disposable society” does not mean the answer is always “buy new” — despite what the Marketing Specialists would have you believe.)
Well, if that is case for you with a laptop or Desktop PC (or you are otherwise just considering an “upgrade” to new) I think it worth considering that Windows 8 machines are now starting to appear in stores.. and you don’t want them IMHO. If it’s time for a new unit, grab a Win 7 machine while you still can. (Don’t just take my word for it: see: You’ll Hate Windows 8 (Hey! That rhymes!)
“You aren’t ready for Windows 8. It’s coming anyway, a slow-moving freight train of massive change and dread, an enormous update that will sow turmoil in the lives of millions of people around the world.“ Read more..

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
