Say What I Think

I will start by saying thank goodness I have a extended service plan of sorts to get this thing fix. I am not happy that every single laptop I have purchase has never had an issue until this. I have been a very loyal buyer of Toshiba, and I expected this computer to be just as good as all the other ones I have purchased. I expected this to not overheat, not lose the “e” key or other things. I have noticed it sometimes moves on its own, like when I am typing and I cannot tell you how frustrating it is that it does that to me. Am I happy with Toshiba, not right now I am actually a little annoyed. Since I have put W7 in it running better, but there are still a lot of things in the startup, which is not needed but that okay. Will I still be Loyal to Toshiba it depends how long this computer lasts me if I have to replace it before 2-year warranty is up no I will try a new brand. If it lasts almost as long as the others then I might stick with it, after making sure there are no problems.

A couple of weeks ago I had to bring my laptop in for repairs. I will say I am glad I bought the extended warranty at Best Buy, this was a wise decision because when my keyboard “e” key came off I was able to get it fix for free, along with the overheating issue a couple of months ago. I was told it was going to take up to 4 weeks for me to receive my laptop back because they had to send it to Toshiba for repairs. I was worried about this because I am going on Vacation on Saturday which was 2 weeks away from the day I brought it in. We are going to northern Minnesota to a cabin since I couldn’t find the perfect Branson vacation packages for the family. Maybe next year it will work out. I told the Geek Squad person that not good because I am going on vacation and my mother board on the desktop is about to die on me. My motherboard died 2 days later. Ouch, well at least hubby had a desktop I could use until my laptop came back, but that wasn’t going to help for our vacation.
On Tuesday, I checked my email, and had a letter from Geek Squad and told me my stuff was ready for pickup. I didn’t believe it, no way, I had to read that wrong! Well I called my local Best Buy and spoke to them and they told me it was ready for me to come and pick it up. This is great I will have my laptop, which works well for traveling and writing on my blogs. My old laptop would work but it would take a long time to use.
Am I happy with the services provided yes, I still can’t believe I am using my laptop.

I got Window 7 not to long ago and wanted to wait a while before I wrote about it. I am happy with it. I got the upgrade window 7 version. Now I know the ps3 will not use W7 its made by sony and I love my it.
So here is what you need to know about w7 upgrade, you can not upgrade from Business to home, or from 32 bit system to 64 bit system. This was something I did not know, but I guess hubby can use the other upgrade cd. It is important to back up your computer but I found that all my data was safe and not lost. I was very happy with this because I did not have to reload everything like my pictures.
Window 7 in some ways is a lot easier to use, and I am happy with it eventhough I am still trying to figure out a few things. One thing I do not like is how they bunch up all my internet browsers which bothers me. I do not like having to open that everytime I want to switch to a new page, I like the old way. I guess I could try to find out how to change it back to the old way and be happy again.
I am happy with W7 it looks nice and so far every update I’ve had hasn’t caused my computer to crash.

Newegg is a great place to get computer stuff and other things electronic but I don’t think you will ever see boots. I have used newegg now for a while and I really like it. One thing I do not like is that its hard to get questions answered and you almost have to do a lot of research on a product before getting it. It simple and I have always received my product in a timely manner. This time I order Window7 and I wish I would have not taken my husband word for it. I swear sometimes he acts like a knowitall and knows not enough. I love my husband but I wish I would have talked again to someone else to make sure I got it right. It would have saved me a good 7 1/2 hours. Oh well can’t change the fact now.
I ordered 2 upgrade on w7 I will write about it more when I used my laptop more. So far there is a couple things I do not like but i haven’t looked at it good yet and I need to do that.
Newegg normally has good deals from computer builders and I order enough to qualify sometimes this time I didn’t but oh well.

Wow I can not believe the battery lasted over 10 hours. With the heat in the car the ipod made things a little more manageable . I guess we do not need anyweight loss supplements we probably sweet out a few pounds easily. The great thing about the ipod is the long life of the battery. It charges through the computer easily. It is able to play in the car with accessories and those accessories seem easier to store then the accessory of the older cd players.
The down side of the Ipod is on the maps it gives you highway routes and doesn’t let u ask for a alt route unless I just haven’t figured it out. In Illinois it best to stay off of the toll roads when you can or you spend lots of money. I lived her once and never liked paying tolls.. So the easy of maps are to be desired but I still have lots to learn.
What i like about the ipod are the maps because it can be done in high breed or satillite it finds your location for you or close enough. It has a alarm clock, and plays music a long time. I like that it is very easy to connect to the internet, and that it does not take long at all to do that. So far I have really enjoyed having my ipod and I hope I get many many months of enjoyment from it.

I think finding good dental implants Mexico is a lot easier then figuring out why Vista been crashing my computer every time it down loads it update. I am seriously thinking about going with Windows Seven and hopefully that will be better. I am not sure, hard to say. I have finally turned off the automatic download option because I can’t have my computer down every time I turn around I need my computer working correctly. I do not need my computer to be down half the time, and the other half the time working.
I am planning on going back to school soon, I think this week sometime I will call the the enrollment adviser there and see what they have to offer on line and if I can do it. I will probably just try to find the person I spoke to last time, and see if they can help me determine what the best course of action is since I do not know how long the program postponed.
So how do I like Vista now, I am not sure, I can say I am frustrated with it and the wasted time.

My Toshiba laptop has been running so hot lately that its burned me a few times, and now I got a ugly red patch on the top of one of my legs. It not blistered thank goodness because I would bring it in, to Toshiba with my poor legs, and show them, this is running way to hot for safety. My computer has always ran a little on the hot side during the summer doing homework was unpleasant because it makes you feel hot having something hot in your lap.
So I decided to go to newegg.com, goodness I love that site, next on my list is Window7, Visita crashed my poor laptop to many times with the updates it keeps trying to give me, so I am annoyed.
Now with the new cool I think my lap top needs some quick weight loss because it has made it heavy, but I rather that then the other. I love this little cooler, it the same size as mine, it for computer 12 to 17 inches, and it turns around too, so I don’t have to pick it up if I put the laptop on the table and want to show dad or hubby something I can just set it up and turn the computer, no picking up required.
It also adjusts the fan in 5 setting counting when it on the flat setting. The fan is protected so it can’t get a bunch of cat hair from the pants or what have you. I can lay it on the floor and not worry if it hasn’t been vacuumed because between the fan and floor there a barrier.
I am very happy with this product. It takes a lot to keep me happy, I’ve had it for a week. So I will see how long it actually lasts. By the way no matter what I do about the cat hair, I think shaving the cat bowled is the only way to solve the cat hair problem, he sheds on command.

I have to say I am not at all happy with Window Vista right now. I think Windows creators are really trying to miss things up in people computers, at least I was able to keep my computer from crashing today. I am not sure if I am the only one with this problem but it seems like one of the security updates causes the computer to go to a black screen, I had to restore my computer to a earlier date, thankfully I didn’t lose anything. Well you know how Vista is if you don’t download their updates it might not work right, now it takes my computer forever to start up.
This is the 2nd time I have had troubles with vista after updating my computer. The last one corrupted the files so badly in the desktop, I couldn’t even get it to restore to a earlier date and lost everything that was not backup. Last night I had it update it does it automatically but then my laptop did not want to start up correctly so I had to force it to shutdown because you can’t do nothing with a black screen.
Finally I got it up and running and now it takes forever for this thing to start up, no viruses or anything, and it only happens when I allow windows to update vista. I think I will go to W7 and see what that’s like. I will probably first do it on the laptop and then to the desktop depending if it works good and doesn’t have a lot of trouble. I wonder if I can get a free life insurance quote on the laptop before vista kills it.

Okay I am not happy with Vista. My computer crashed and it didn’t help find the problem. Something in Windows got corrupted, and I lost everything on my desktop. Thank goodness I had most of it backup and I do not have to worry about lose data, just the pain in the backside of reinstalling everything and falling behind in school. I got my laptop back from Best Buy Geek squad.
My laptop had a virus when it came back and thank goodness my virus detector found it and cleaned it out. I am a little annoyed, had I lost this stuff it would have been bad, because I would have so much more downloading to do. I am going to be installing Windows 7 I think to at least one of my computers and hopefully it works better then Vista. I am not upset with Best Buy but I just do not understand how the laptop got a virus in it when it was with them. Maybe who they sent it to for repairs caused the trouble and not them.
I should look at getting insurance quote for covering just my computers and hubby. Hubby recently lost 2 hard drives since witching over to Vista. I am not saying Vista is horrible but there are some problems there, which I don’t think Word did a good job of fixing.
I was told I would have my laptop in 2 to 3 weeks, and got it on the inside part of 2 to 3 weeks, so that makes me happy. The laptop doesn’t seem to be running to hot but still is running a little on the slow side.

This week has really sucked. The highlights of my week this week was a chili dinner last night and a wedding today. Now I am back home wanting to throw my computer out the window as far as I can throw it. Last night my computer did the Oh by the way forget me working correctly for you. I have to many errors. ANd to be a real pain in your Butt I am not going to let you restart the normal way. You know that homework assignment and blog posting you want to do FORGET IT. I am NOT working for you, haha haha. I think if my computer was talking to me that’s about what it would say, and when asked why you doing this it probably would have told me. Because you don’t use me enough, you always have that laptop on your lap. You just use me when that’s not available. Then when you do use me, you don’t treat me the same way as the laptop. Dummy don’t turn the virus detector off, I’ll tell you what, if you do it won’t keep me safe. oh and by the way I expect a vacation at Outer Banks rentals
Okay now I know some of my Church friends are sitting there rebuking me for calling myself stupid, but I am not calling myself that, I just thinking about what the computer would say if it could actually talk to me.
Anyways, my husband give me his System Mechanics disk, thank goodness for him having it. It found a bunch of errors and my computer was 34% defrag, that’s not good when a computer which has 250 Gigs of hard drive and only using 45 gigs of space, that can causes a lot of trouble. My system registry had over 370 errors, that is not good. I hope this work, tech support from school wants to call me to help me further but LOL I am not sure I want to, but I do need them to fix the SSL error of theirs. Anyways System mechanics got my computer running for me, and it running faster again. I have not froze at all and been able to pretty much move freely on the internet.
I would recommend this program for a person with a little computer knowledge. I knew something was wrong with my computer, and tried several things, my husband and I are fairly computer literate. Hubby told me not to download the virus detector given in the program.
