I DID IT! Got a new desktop pc today and a new printer. HP Pavilion Media Center and HP deskjet printer. I'm shaking like a leaf in the wind, scared to death. I've been using this old Gateway for the past 10 years but it is on its last legs, the cd rom went out yesterday, the printer is in the basement, and hardly anything else works so, this weekend after I settle down from the scare of getting a new one, I will set it up. The guy at RC Willie was really helpful and walked me through everything, guess he felt sorry for me. He even gave me his personal cell phone number and told me to call him anytime I need help. I'M SOOOOO EXCITED! ;D

Congrats, Mickster! I understand the scary/awed feeling of a new computer - I felt the same way when we bought our computer last year.

A word of advice, always backup all of your non-system files on an external HD, so that the transfer to your new PC is a heck of a lot easier.

I set up the new pc. It took an hour and 20 minutes. Was not as hard as I thought it would be, just a little scary with the internet part. But I made here. What a difference. I never knew there was so much red here at kitchen stadium, used to be mostly black, LOL. Things are moving much faster than they used to, too. This is really cool. Thanks for the emotional support gang. You're the best.

Congrats Mickster! You bought a great machine, and I know you'll love it. I'm glad you got the internet alright- with some new computers, setting up the internet is horrible. Isn't the speed terrific?
How's the site look for you? You don't mind the red do you?

I love the all the red, and the black characters were never there before. Everything looks so different on here now It's awesome. And ya know what else, there used to be eye piercing neon blue words on the ks screens that really hurt my eyes, well, it's gone, not here anymore, nadda. Hooray.

Guess what.......I got my new HP monitor today and it's all set up. WOW, I thought it was a big difference when I got the new HP pc, but this new monitor really makes a difference. Guess the old one (dinosauer) was fading away. I didn't know there was a textured background on the red wallpaper. SO COOL! Everything is bright and colorful and clear.

The last one was from 1996, a Gateway. It was huge, I mean really BIG. LOL. Now everything matches, HP, silver and black. Soooo pretty. And KS is also soooo pretty.
