Looks like this Laptop has had it. Blocks of Pixells dying all the time. Some letters don't work unless I bash them hard.
So
Time for a new Laptop.
I never move my laptop so I'm looking for something that will sit here permanently plugged into the mains. So portability and battery life is not a problem. But I do want something with a nice big screen and something quick. I also want wireless.
I use it for web browsing, e-mail and you-tube.
We have a Curry's and a P.C. world nearby
Any suggestions as to what model would be the best deal?

I'd buy it from Ebuyer. I got my present laptop from there  I think they are slightly different models - but the differences are minimal. |

O.K.
Now I need an IDIOT's Guide to transferring all my e-mail addresses from the old laptop to the new one.

Do you access your e-mail using a web browser? Don't worry Moley, I'll give you a hand to make sure you back up everything when you change computers. |

Yep,
I'm on it now. Just set up Google chrome and the Seki website.
Took hours to set up (Initial set up loading backups on a "D" drive and installing software etc.) At the mo I'm transferring websites. Can't find the Mail icon yet.

Trying to download Outlook Express in Windows Vista or Windows 7?
Outlook Express isn't available in Windows Vista or Windows 7â€â€you can't download it or run it on either version of Windows. However, you can install an e‑mail program from another company or use Windows Live Mailâ€â€a free program that is part of Windows Live Essentials.
Windows Live Mail works with most e‑mail accounts, and you can import your e‑mail, contacts, and calendar from Outlook Express into Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail puts all of your e‑mail in one place.S4it - What now ? What was the Firefox equivalent called ? |
