This computer is making me cut into my fun money

I had a small amount of fun money set aside. It can range from a few dollars to a couple of hundred bucks, it just really depends on what's going on in my life at that particular moment. Right now my fun money is pretty low, it's less than $25 because I'm going to visit relatives this month and I want to make sure I have enough to have a good time.

I'll take the money that I have closer to the Christmas holiday and buy a new netbook. I had really wanted to take that money and buy gold bars to add to my portfolio. I already bought a coin and now I'm ready for something else to help me preserve my wealth. Gold also tends to grow with you. Even though it can be cyclical and go up and then way down, over time the value of gold rises.

Hopefully I'll find a way to buy both. That would make for a really happy holiday season for me.

Where did my post go?

Ughhhh this computer is driving me insane. I just sat here and wrote a whole post and it totally disappeared. The auto-save feature did not work so when I started working on something else, my post got sucked into no-mans land.

I've put off getting a computer for quite some time now. There was a sale today but I'm going to visit family and I couldn't afford to put the money out right now. I wanted to save up and buy myself something else for Christmas, but I just may buy a new computer instead.

I think I know what's wrong with my computer

I've been having trouble with my home computer for a while now. I couldn't figure out what it was but now I think I know. I have spy ware on my computer. At first I thought it was a virus but my anti-virus doesn't turn up anything. Then I realized that I downloaded this program. I've heard that the program contained spy ware but it never caused me any problems. Now that I'm having problems I've figured out what it is.

Hopefully once I delete that program my computer will cooperate for a few more months. Or at least until I get enough money to buy a new one.

I need ink for my printer

My printer is still fairly new, I just got it in May. But I'm already out of ink! When you buy a printer, they give you two cartridges. However that ink never lasts very long. I don't even use my printer that often. I went to print out my homework assignment and it only printed half and the other half was basically blank. I'll use Cartridge Finder to help me find the cheapest ink. They compare prices across stores for me so I get the best deal.

I just hope I don't have any more homework before I get my new cartridges.

Honey I blew up the computer

I thought I was going to go crazy when my computer died. It was horrible. I was without a personal computer for over a month. I say personal computer because I was still able to access the internet from my work computer. But email and certain blogging functions are blocked so I was very limited in what I could look at.

I researched computers online. I looked at several desktop computers, but in the end I decided on a laptop. Now I love my laptop. I can't imagine going back to a desktop at home. I can sit on my couch and blog, check sports scores and balance my checkbook all while watching tv. And there's no swiveling in a chair involved. It's great.

The hardest part about buying the computer was researching it online. I went to a bunch of stores comparing and contrasting systems and price. Even though I'm cheap, I looked at the quality of the computer before I factored in the price. I figured I needed something that was going to hold up so quality was a top concern.

I just hope this one lasts as long as my last computer did.

Protect your computer

Protecting your computer isn't so much about the computer as it is about the content on the computer. Computers are cheap now a days. You can easily get one for less than $500. But you can't always replace the information on the computer especially if you get a virus.

So what can you do? Well you can go to a website where you can download free norton antivirus software for your computer. I don't know what possesses people to create viruses anyway. I think a lot of times it's just for kicks. They seem to enjoy knowing that their virus is out there. I know one thing I don't open email forwards from people I don't know. That's where the majority of those nasty viruses come from anyway.

Symantec is offering these downloads free through a number of sites, but it's for a limited time only. So get your virus protection now.

My uncle uses Spy Sweeper

I just wrote a post yesterday about using Spy Sweeper to keep your computer spyware free. I talked to my uncle today and he started telling me that his computer was running slow and it shouldn't be because of all of the products that he uses. The first one he named was Spy Sweeper. It's cool to write about products that people I know actually use.
