3. Thanks. I'm going to have to save for a new computer this year for sure.

2. What happened, my dear applegrove?

Were you unable to access the site?

Did it feel as though you'd been banned?

[applegrove]

4. Yes. That thought did pass through my mind. I am easily spooked CalPeg. Must be my ten year old

computer. I was booted out of facebook at least once tonight too.

5. I think replacing your computer is a very good idea!

I usually replace mine every 3 years or so.

I don't want them to crash!

6. If there is a university near you

you might inquire whether they have a place to sell computers that the university doesn't need. I'm not sure if most universities have this kind of used equipment sale place, but the state university here always has some computers (as well as all kinds of other stuff) listed online and displayed in a small building on campus- that's where we get our macs, not too old (we upgraded with a borrowed CD to the second-to-latest OS), and very good prices.

7. That is a good idea. I don't want to pay full price if I don't have to.
