You can download the info off your old computer and upload onto the new one if you are using the same mail software.

Hopefully, the daughter will know how to do this since I am probably one of the most computer illiterate people you will ever meet...heck, I'm lucky to know where the keyboard is!! Wink

Pssst.
It's the thingy you are pushing the little buttons on that make the letters, that make the words, appear on the screen. Kind'a like a typewriter.

I wanted to hurry and tell you so everyone here wasn't thinikin' you weren't very smart, as I had the same problem understanding all this computer loingo, until my daughter in law helped me out. Smile

HAROLD

I was having trouble with my computer.

So I called Harold the computer guy, to come over.

Harold clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

He gave me a bill for a minimum service call.

As he was walking away, I called after him,

"So, what was wrong?"

He replied, "It was an ID ten T error."

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,

"An, ID ten T error?

What's that . in case I need to fix it again?"

Harold grinned.... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?"

"No," I replied.

"Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."

So I wrote down .

I D 1 0 T


I used to like Harold.

If you used outlook express for email on the old computer, you can still open it up without bein online and get to the addresses. If it was an alternative email, then you'll hafta git it back up online to get to em.

"If you can get you old computer back on-line" email any file(s) you want to your email address on you one phone line - Then pick that email up with your new computer.

V_Key and I have had 3 computers on one phone line at the same time - (Mac, PC, and Lap Top) (2 Daily) I can be on this site while she is on 'My Place. com or College work - each computer has it's own 'foot print'.

Some one can drive around with a LT - and fine a Wireless signal and get on line through that location (we have Free Securty to stop that) ISP next door has paid ads and their wireless is free to the world.

Phone line was to slow - out ISP is on the same property 2 doors away - I do some work for them sooo they let me run a cable 100' over the roof to their "Main Frame" - faster than DSL - (2) Mac's are on our in house "Air Port Wire Less" - (Table Top Airless to AirPort to that cable to ISP) (Lap Top to Airless to AirPort to again that Cable to ISP)

V_Key can take her LT to College with free wire less (No Ads) or Free Wireless (with ads) at Coffee Shops, most of down town San Jose, San Francisco, "A's" "Giants" "49er" Etc.

She can sit outside or anywhere with 150'± of our house and use our wireless - If we have a Questions (If InterNet working) we can tell either computer to connenct to ISP in houes Free wireless (With Ads) my Table Top gets a weak signial she/we can move with her LT to a strong signal area

We can take her LT to Barns&Noble and use their In House Free Wireless and EMail information Home to ourselves.

If your on line, there are sites where you can pay to save "back Files" of you Programs or Work Files - I'm new at this but V_Key uses "Mac Files"

Wireless is "COOL" V_Key can/does email her College work to Herself or Me at home and I/We can print it out here.

Thats My "NewTricks" - I'm slow but I'm learning with V_Key's Help - As a Cowboy I Heart Heart Heart it
