I have been posting less because I am crazy busy, and also because my home computer is maxed out, and now barely works. It's an old machine, and I will order a replacement from Dell tomorrow. How old is the old machine? It's only got 80 GB on the hard drive. That used to seem like a lot. Now the minimum is 500 GB.
So how have I been blogging? Mostly by cell phone.
I am going to get a new Dell, but why do I need anything more than the econo-box which has 4 GB RAM and 500 GB on the hard? I do not game, do not watch movies on the computer, and listen to music on Pandora. I store photos, write, blog, and email. That's about it.
I am wary of Windows 8, but it's the way of the future it appears. The whole hardware package is $300. Any cautions out there??

For the things you do you may want to consider a Chromebook. Inexpensive, lighting fast boot up, light weight, and about 8 hours of battery life (Samsung version).
Why not a mac?
I just got a Samsung Tablet, and I plan to take my desktop system off line entirely.
Will do web surfing, e-mail and slideshows of art/photography for clients on the tablet.
Desktop system as a work station only.
Why not a Mac tablet? Ruinously expensive and they don't play Flash files. (Plus you have to put up with the Mac attitude.)
If you have someone nearby for support, Linux (Ubuntu) can be loaded onto a Dell machine. It's free and makes your PC operate as good as a Mac.
A base system Dell would work just fine for what you are doing with it, and would last longer then a chromebook or a Mac. Back in the day, you could reasonably expect a Mac to outlast a PC, but now that they're using identical components in both, the Mac is just an overpriced wreck.
