From XP to Vista. At work.
Sorry folks I have not been paying attention to everyone because I spent every minute since Friday dwelling on how to change over my files, etc. from my old computer to the new computer, which happens to be Vista. My computer ..she is the happening place...the mother of our workgroup of four.
So, all the files had to be transferred over...before anyone can work. Easier said than done. It all went to shit. I tried everything... the transfer cables etc...which bombed out just.....just ... before the transfer was complete. The guys in the office kept on insisting this had to work.
So, being an old fashioned do do head, I told the "know it all" guys in the office, "I'm doing it my way." Because we had to start using the computers!
I put a CD in and transferred all the files to them. Many, many CD's and copied them to my new computer. Yeah...I know...stupid, but effective. It worked.
Then we had reprogram the workgroup shit and the printers.........fuck. If I knew it was going to be such a big deal, I would have just kept my old Dell, which was running on empty...and just plugged along at 30 mph. After I took the Dell off my desk, I looked at the back of it...holy shit, it must have a ton of dust on the fan blades...and I can't imagine what the inside of it looks like. No wonder the poor ole girl was chugging. I will clean her up and with a little more ram she will work for someone else that needs a computer in the shop.
But I have a new computer. And I am loving Vista. Everyone told me I would hate it...what? It is great. So far. Knock on wood. Or knock on my head.
Knock Knock. Who's there?... nobody as usual...damn.

We have a server and 7 computers that work off of it...And we have a Computer Dr. that we call to keep it all going...You're a brave lady to do all that transferring yourself sweetie!! WoW! (I'm bowing to you)!hughugs
Good job, Joan. I'm proud of ye!! :)
I'd hate to look inside my computer; it's a wonder it still works with all the dust.
Donna..I am in love with Vista. I like the speed and the clean look. Now I have get a new puter for the house....
Yes..it goes round and round doesn't it.
I could have got an IT guy in, but we are pretty small, we are a regional office and all our really big stuff is done in our head office. Our computers are used to do day to day scheduling of work. Plus a lot of other stuff. No accounting.
So, I'm not so smart as you think I am. But hey...I love being told I'm smart.

What the hell, I must of repeated myself...OY
The only way I'd buy a Vista computer is if it came with at least 3gigs of RAM. I keep too many programs open at once for a basic Vista machine (those 1 gig machines they sell on the cheap) to run right.
