Shoot This Computer!!
My mom needs a new computer bad. Her computer is on its last leg. It’s so slow that she only turns it on once a week because she doesn’t want to deal with the drama of having to wait for it to come on, wait for it to load, wait for it to follow her commands, and wait for it to shut down. No lie, it takes my mom about thirty minutes just to check her email. That’s sad. LOL. She’s gotten so that she just tells me to check it from my computer. If for some reason she needs to turn her computer on, she has to do it about ten to fifteen minutes before she plans to actually get on it. That way it has enough time to boot up. It’s a pretty painful experience.
Every now and then I’ll get on her computer to make sure her anti virus is up to date (like it matters), and I almost always feel like putting my fist through the screen out of frustration. I’ve been thinking about buying her some additional ram to speed the computer up, but since it’s a pretty old computer it might make more sense to just look for laptop deals. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to buy ram for a six year old computer. LOL.
