My computers have been nothing but frustration for me the past summer and I was ready to toss them out. It all began when I installed Windows 10. This computer has Windows 7 and works great for me. I purchased a Netgear N300 WiFi USB adapter and immediately picked up wireless service.
The computer had been wiped clean so Stu had a friend install Windows 7, Chrome and Word for me. I will install a photo program later. I feel I have stepped back a few years into my comfort zone. I will keep this computer as "bare-bones" as possible. I am tempted to take my older computers and have them stripped. Then I will only add back the programs I like to use.
If only the makers of Microsoft understood that many of us want the less sophisticated machines, not the ones with all the bells and whistles. I'm sure many young techies love all the extra stuff, but folks I know prefer the less complicated and more user friendly computers we used a few years back, before Vista, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Who decided we needed all the extra options? I need Word, email, Google, Blogger and Facebook. That is it!
If you hear me singing and see me smiling, it is because I am very happy with this computer. Thanks, Stu. You are the best!

Very, very generous.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I don't need (or want) all the bells and whistles here either.
You reminded me that I got rid of my desktop a few years ago and now am happy with a MacBook Air laptop and my iPad. I don't need a desktop any more. But in my volunteer work, they have a machine with Windows 7 and I've gotten used to it again, finally. That is really generous and nice of Stu. Thank you to good people like him! :-)
