We watch an $89 19" TV from Target. Works great and has a great picture. When you're used to living frugally you find you appreciate the simple things in life. My sons and I go out to eat at our favorite restaurant on birthdays and special occasions. We all have the filet mignon. It's a real treat for us. We're going out this week to celebrate my older son's Associates Degree. To some this would be no big deal, but to us it's a little slice of heaven. PS...we st... [ More ]

Not to blab on about technology, but in 2004 Hurricane Charley "blew up" my 25" RCA, so I went to Circuit City to buy another television. I got a 27" Panasonic flatscreen which was very sharp and had all sorts of features I didn't need. I also found the screen to be way too dark. After 3 weeks I exchanged it for a 32" Magnovox regular tube set. I love it! I was told that, since it only had composite input/output and S-video (not component) I'd be unhappy watching DVDs. Nobody on this plane... [ More ]

Todd, I wouldn't store Grandma Moses' favorite recipes on this machine! The machine might be older than she was! At least she was functional in her later years.

EEK, I wouldn't install Vista on that machine, not if you can help it! Vista needs horsepower and memory, the more the better. Don't install Vista on an old PC - XP is perfect for that, and it will be for AT LEAST another 3-4 years.

Microsoft Windows XP is now 6 years old. I think it would be a good idea to wait until Vista comes out. Should be in the early part of 2007. That is what I am shooting for.

We're still going to get a new one...don't think it'll be an early Xmas present but we're going to go in on it together. I'll take this baby to bed with me at night when that time comes, monitor and all.

I know how you feel about trashing your PC it's like been your friend i feel the same way about my old clunker. Which still works for the most part but is doing duty as a lottery data base until i can get a newer pc. When Todd made all the changes the last time i had much difficulty logging onto the site and using the features too. No to include that keeping up with my ISP new formats were taxing the pc's memory cause they have lots of stuff running in the background. i still t... [ More ]

Thanks much to truecritic and richm for a couple of real things to try. I've always thought this was a settings problem. Thanks bellyache and lottomike too for your input.

This may sound a bit weird, but when I was having problems a while ago, I went to my control panel, board settings and then unclicked the "use rich text editor" setting. For some reason it caused problems for me.

Couple of quick things you can try.... 1) IE->Tools->Internet Options->Programs Tab. Click the button "Reset Web Settings..." 2) Same but instead of the Programs Tab go to the Security Tab. Click Internet. Then go down to the Custom Level button - make sure it says medium (click default). See if any of that helps....If it doesn't.....what version of Windows? Verify you do have IE6 - can maybe come up with some more stuff to try, if you want.... [ More ]
