I think I paid all of $20 for the additional memory .. Dangerous Dan's hourly charge was the "big" ticket item, and it would have been the same regardless of how much memory he put in, as he was also evaluating/updating all the software drivers, and verifying that there were no residual Trojans or keyloggers or backdoors in the mix .... so I basically got a brand-new CLEAN computer for under $100 ... and I think he put in a dual-boot system so it's possible I have a 64 bit processor also though I don't think XP supports such

dual-boot systems have nothing to do with 64bit. Dual-boot means that when you boot up you choose from a list of two or more operation systems to boot the computer into.

goes to show you that I know just enough about computers to be dangerous, so instead I simply tell Dangerous Dan what I want to do with the computer, and he, who speaketh computer as his first language, (and is nearly impossible to understand when he talks what he THINKS is standard English), puts in or modifies what he knows will do the job I want to do

I admit that I am the type of person that wonders what just happened. I admit to being a bad girl and I should have checked in much sooner than I did.

OK will let ya slide this time.

But REALLY when things like this past storm happen sure would be nice if we could all stay in touch just to make sureall are ok and if there are things we may be able to do for each other.

You are more than welcome to swing by. I will PM you my phone number.

A sad note. Last week I finally made the decision to let Puppy aka the Big Dog go to the rainbow bridge. I hope that somehow he might be with my Kaitlyn and that they will be playing together, until it's time for me to join them. Puppy was losing weight, and was chewing holes in his hide. We just couldn't control the allergies anymore. He would have been 13 years old on February 10th. He out lived his life expectancy by many years. I miss him.

If the computer is running XP sp3 the computer will need more than 2 gigs. In all my test XP sp3 used all 2 gigs and left none for anything else. If the computer is using Vista the computer will need at least 2 gigs. If the computer is using Windows 7 the computer will need at least 1 gig. If the computer is running xp 32bit or Vista 32bit then the OS will only see 3 gigs even if you put 4 gigs in. My memory is a little foggy about what Vista will see, Maybe I should upgrade my memory.

Maybe the computer wizzard needs some added RAM ! ! !

That is so nice of you to say!  Of course I've always thought she was pretty, but might be a little biased...  When you had mentioned that day that she reminded you of an angel from a Renaissance painting, this was the photo I had wanted to show you!  We've always referred to it as her, "Mona Lisa Lily" photo but now that you mention it, it probably is more reminiscent of a Botticelli.  I had just shot it with my camera phone one day while we were shopping at a mall in downtown Portland, but it's still one of my favorites...

Nah, nothing like a Botticelli, more like a Bouguereau - just look at that expression, they share it!



 

That's her!

That's the painting I've been googling for!

Artist?

no she came up here and got them, then took the long way home to avoid a chicken robbery lol.... and whats a spiffys?

Spiffy's is a pretty well known restaurant at exit 68. They have pretty good local made pies. most people who travel I-5  use it as a land mark.

 

So much so that more than a few times. driving home from Portland, we've stopped to have dinner there and not been able to get into the parking lot!
