I speak to my parents about once, on the phone. My Mom told me recently that her computer was broken. When I asked her did she bring it in for repair she told me "No - I fixed it myself, I called Gateway and they sent a new Hard Drive. While I was at it I got some more memory. I put in the memory and the Drive. I had to format the Drive and re-install Windows. I couldn't find the original CD so I went to Compusa and bought Windows. Its working good now" The only things I'd do differently was to but the drive discount and I I wouldn't have used Windows ME but that was all the store had (No Win98 SE). Not bad for a 74 year old !!!
My sisters on the other hand - once I had to plug in the speakers because there was no sound and another time I had to press the power button on the speaker!!!
My sisters are real good people - but sometimes...
I guess thats what college does for you!!!
