After a frustrating weekend with Windows Vista, I decided that since I was still technically under warranty with Toshiba, I would call them and see if there was anything to be done with my laptop. I’ve been so upset that I am not sleeping well, and can hardly think straight.
You all know I have the worst luck with computers, so last time we decided to get the three year warranty. It ends in June of this year! Where has the time gone?
Anyway, the young man told me that yes, he could help. I was entitled to the XP discs, and all I needed to do was pay for shipping and handling. Hubby isn’t too happy about that, but I sure am! In a week or so, the discs will arrive and I can start all over again.
What this means is that I need to back up all my music, and a few other things. Mostly I backed it all up- when I brought it in last week.
All I can say is that I love you, Toshiba! That’s for making it right!
Now, about Windows Vista. What a piece of crap it is! The woman who used the back up discs to get my machine running again, told me that there was no difference between XP and Vista. (Lie!) She told me that she has never heard of anyone who didn’t like Vista. (Lie!) Also, that her own 80 year old father loved it! (If he does, he probably doesn’t use it much.)
On my Facebook page, my friends and family told me to get rid of Vista. Go for Windows 7, which I can’t do, due to the fact that I don’t have enough RAM. Oh, give me XP any day, and I will be happy.
I know one day, down the road, we will need to upgrade our system, but for now, I am so happy knowing that XP will be arriving shortly and my machine will be it’s old self once again!
Glad you are getting things fixed the way you want them.
Love YOU, Mel
