This computer runs Vista and I found I needed drivers to attach the old printers or scanners to it and decided to leave them as is, on the old computer. I started a new pattern yesterday for anklets with a cabling pattern, I figured they would make nice bed socks for my aunt. Thanks so much, both of you. I just realized my email addy may be showing up with a bit extra in it (to avoid email gather-ers.) Just take the DOG out of it. Sounds like Windows Vista may be more trouble than a normal upgrade would be worth. I'm still running XP (I think with SP-2), and don't really have time to get a new desktop, though I have been thinking about laptaps, with all the hospital sitting time I'm putting in lately. Of course, that's an expense in itself, so cross stitch and socks would be a more viable alternative right now for new projects. Again, thanks so very much. -- Carey in MA (Going back for a cat nap before trip to tax preparer, and hospital...) |

I have this laptop with Vista on it - I like it, have not had problems (other than that it does not like my old printer and scanner). I am ashamed to confess I also have an HP mini, weighs less than 2lbs, can fit in your purse and has XP because the Atom processor can't take Vaster. As poor Lucille knows, I am totally in love with the HP mini, while one wouldn't want it for a main computer, it is excellent for taking around the place. I had pics of my bridge partner on it and took it to bridge the other day to show them to her, I opened the lid, pressed the button and within 45 seconds it had loaded and also connected via it's wifi card to a real estate company upstairs with an unsecured connection to the net ! For sheer convenience and portability, it's great. I have noted your address and will send patterns. Talk about an enabler. She's right about the poor Lucille bit. She has me convinced that I can't live without a mini and I'm definitely going to buy myself a new toy very shortly. My new computer has Vista, which is fine. The only problem I have with it is that this one is 64 bit and isn't compatible with lots of older programs, but nearly all that I wanted work fine and the few that don't I really didn't need anyway. When I bought this it came with an offer for an all-in-one printer that wound up costing me $20. How can you lose with that kind of offer. L |

I saw a very pretty touch yesterday--a fairly simple ankle length sock, but the knitter had made a row of eyelets near the top, and threaded a ribbon through. Dawne |

That might be worth my looking in to. Of course, if it's too mini, I'll need my cross-stitch glasses with me to read it LOL ! Thanks in advance for sending patterns. -- Carey in MA |

Have the best day possible C Had a productive day; got taxes done, went to get 2 tires on his car and turned out it really needed 4. Sharp eyed manager spotted a problem I hadn't seen that could have resulted in a blow out, and I've been doing a lot of highway driving, so I was very thankful for that. DH feeling well today and treatment plans seem to be coming together a bit. It was a much better day than some have been lately. Hope you and yours, as well as all other RCTN-ers, had a great day. -- Carey in MA |
