It is officially time to CRY...about my computer.

[jenluckenbach]

My computer (as mentioned in General a little while ago) is officially unfixable. (not many people saw the thread.. )

I am currently on my OLD machine, but with its windows 95 and virtually NO open memory space, I can't do much of anything. I can get online, and get e-mail.........But NO pictures, NO printer (both my camera and printer use USB ports and win95 doesn't support USB)
That means no pictures to post here or on Petfinder.com for my rescue group.

I can't use my favorite e-mail program.....long explaination......

I can't play most of the games I came to enjoy because my computer lacks "microsoft virtual machine" and it must not be compatable with win95 either.

I don't even have the original solitaire game that came with windows because I deleted it long ago to free up some space.

I could cry.......heck, I AM crying. There is no way on this earth I can or will put money out for a new computer when finances are so tight. I am so depressed.

Poor you!!! That is so annoying when things break at inconvenient times, i hope that you can find the money soon to get yourself a new one.

I suppose at least you have an old one to keep you going on PT, which will sustain you until you can get a new one.

Oh Jen, I am so, so sorry to hear this. Please don't cry. I am glad though that you are still able to join your friends on here.

I pray that things will gradually work out so that you will be able to get yourself a new computer in the near future.

Jen, I'm sorry to hear this. Do you mind telling me what is wrong with your other computer? I missed your thread in general. I hope that you'll be able to save for a new computer soon. Some places allow you to pay a monthly fee so you don't have to be charged for the whole thing at once. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Oh Jen, I'm so sorry!! I can understand very well how upset you are! I would be totally lost without my computer!

Is there really no way you can fix your comp? What's wrong with it?

I (as a computer idiot) do not KNOW what is wrong. All I know is that I sent it to my brother-in-law who really does know a lot about computers. AND he is the type that doesn't like to be beaten.....he tried so hard, but just could not fix it. And even if he explained it to me, I would not understand, so I believe him.

Sure, I could sent it to an expert, but I can't afford to pay someone to tell me it is unfixable.....know what I mean??

The part that worries me is that this computer is OLD. It is bound to break down. And even saving for a new computer is simply not in the budget.

Well, I will stay here with you all for as long as I can. if this thing dies......well we won't think about that now.

Aww Jen I am so sorry to hear that, I wished you lived here, hubby would be over and attempting to fix it for you at no cost, he is a dab hand at that, and has fixed many a computer, i could not imagine my life without mine now, i hope you can afford to get a new one sooner rather than later, cheer up at least we can still hear from you thank goodness. oops missed the above post, oh neat to be offered another one, awesome, thats PT for ya.
