Very interesting thought on computers, I dread the day mine goes wrong. I have my photos backed up but not some of my creative writing files or notes I randomly make. I should do that. In the past i've been unable to open files i've backed up because I updated my OS and the old files just wouldn't open in the new OS. I think it was when they changed from one writing program to a new one included in the OS. Years ago I had a linux (ubuntu) laptop and really liked that but again when that went wrong and was unable to be fixed I lost all my work even though i'd backed it up because I was unable to buy a linux replacement and the files were just incompatible with my replacement. We don't have any dedicated IT shops in my town or nearby so I was relying on the electronics department in a chain store to try to sort me out.

Wishing you all a great day.

My weekend was nice, we had a break from the freezing weather with some sunshine yesterday. My aqua aerobics class was fun, i've never done one before, it seems though that at the time I went the class is very much aimed at the older retired population. Most of the oldies that were there were obviously regulars and had their own spot they liked in the pool, i got asked to move by one as she particularly needed to be near the steps for some reason. It's a bit of a social gathering too for many with lots of pre-exercise and post-exercise chitchat and giggles going on.

Most greatful for your thoughtful reply. I'm leaning the way of Chromebook now following your reply. Also reading Janzee's comments I feel that investing little money over big money may be best. Me thinking that it's a situation where they know they have contiuous customers becasue we all rely on computers for all the daily tasks like banking and bill paying now. So will keep buying the products over and over again while they make billions of pounds of proffits, going where? We have a little IT shop nearby, i'll pop along and talk to them.

I  Have a sepearte harddisk that i store all my stuff in its one terrabyte so stores way more than a memory stick or even my computer. Also i find it good bc it keeps my laptop empty. But i guess not everyone needs a harddisk a usb flash could be enough too. I prefer microsoft honestly idk if this is contraversial. Like a nice lenovo or smth… i rely on my computer s lot too i wish it could last even longer

I miss having a hampster but I do not miss cleaning its enclosure. Much prefer having a cat because I don't have to do much to clean up after her. She's so chill.
