access to the computer

thanks for the good post..i don't use the computer at the library and it is free for everyone but i share the computer with my wife..she I and I do not have a problem with this as I always can use the computer about 90 % of the time

Ironically, we had problems the last 3 days, so I had no computer access.. I share this computer with my daughter and sometimes my son and husband get on. But I get the weekday mornings because no one is here or up yet..:)

You are right, the commercials are enough that I have more or less stopped watching TV other than a very few shows...

It's true, you pay more taxes but you get your money back through services like free internet which is technically not free basing on what you wrote. I agree we can't really envy the tax free citizens. This age is really making things better and easier but only if you get to keep up with the pace. There are still many people in my country who are my age and have zero knowledge with computers. But they don't seem to care. Life still goes on for them.

no, lucky you as you are 32..and brand new..that is what i used to say when i was 32..but i would trade places to be 32..again..as both my wife and I are retired..and I am 63..but the computer any place is still a miracle to me as I first worked with UNIVAC when I was in the Air Force in 1965..in Texas and Northern Michigan and for four years..but it was nothing compared to what you have now...punch cards, card sorters, reels of tape.? well, it was all state of the art..but when you are still young like you are is the lucky one I think..free internet means I pay $124.00 a month for AT&T service for internet, cable TV (yes we get PHilippine TV -Wowee?) and phone..but long distance I use Penny Talk as this is phone card for one penny a minute..and the library free computer?..that is also deducted in my taxes on my house...which comes due twice a year..but water,electric,sewar,gas etc etc..there is always maintenance fees..sales tax income tax..we have the stuff but nothing is free...my wife learned a lot and she lived in Japan for six years...when you live in the US...unless you are in Jail..like one in a hundrend in the US..nothing is free..maybe the homeless? but they are the exception..no job, no mortage, no boss, no worries..as they put them up at taxpayers expense..but i still do not envy there lot..as the average homeless is only eight years old..believe this or not

shopping is always free if you window shop

When i first got cable tv..i used to subscribe to all the channels ..HBO ..showtime flicks .etc etc..and for awhile i was a tv freak..now it seems i exchanged one screen for another..but at least the computer is a little more challenging..thanks for the post.

yes, i am looking into skype and also vontage..but my wife got sick and had to come home earlier then expected..but she is getting better..thanks for the post..have a good day

yes, it just me and my wife who use the dell in our basement..and she just checks her e-mail or puts in a resume to be a nanny..she has done this most of her working life..in Negros Occidental, Silay, Manila, Forbes Park, Phil. Tokyo, Japan and Washington DC..but only new born babies up to two years old...then she moves on ...but i have had a computer since 1990-s? well, the newer ones are always better...but I used to use the ones in the public library but I just go there now to read the magazines, various newpapers, and take out books, books on tape DVD's etc...but since I pay city and state taxes..this is all part of my tax money...even fines for speeding and traffic violations go to the support of the local libraries..in the end we all are paying for this privledge..so might as well use it..as i am retired and have more time then money...have a nice day

hey, i too like the public library even though i have computer access at home..i dated a girl from malta..and i was in the air force and we would spend a day at Macinaw Island..an island by where i was based in the Air Force..she and her sisters and friends (all girls) had a good time..but she was engaged at the time and we just spent one night by the Mancinaw Bridege...it was very romantic and we just hugged and kissed but she had big ballons (lol) and had a pretty smile..but her sister was jealous and told the others that she was mad at her older sister as sshe was such a flirt..but we did not do anything real bad..we just had a fun time and when she got home to Roseville, Michigan she sent me a pound of chocolate fudge..she was a real nice girl and I never forget our one night of romantic fun..*sigh*...better to have loved and lost then never loved at all...

I am glad someone is using the computer to a good purpose. Most of the computers are just for entertainment and enlightenment but I am glad your husband is a shrewd investor. investigate before you invest. thanks for your post.

you sound like my wife..as i am more then a little confused sometimes..the man is the head of the house but the wife is the neck..lol

The library used to have free computer access at your home but too few people were using this service that they discontinued the service..but i used it for awhile..but it was slower ..but i am not in a hurry. LOL. Right now its winter and i spend a lot of time on the internet, or the YMCA and of course the library. have a nice day

thanks for the post.. i have a computer at home and can chat 24/7 ..but my wife just playes literati online...we always have something to keep us amused..and we go to the YMCA for exercise and socialablility

I have older computer i could hook up and run it with this one through a router but i have not got around to doing this..but a laptop sounds..and with the WI FI service available..you can be mobile..for the same price

i use both..my home and the library..it is all good..my library is a favoriate place to visit the young and the old..its comforable and has lots of stuff to do and check out for free..i can get up to five dvd's at a time and a lot of the movie dvd's are foreign and have subtitles i love this format...as i can watch them late at night with the sound off..also the music tapes are great and i can borrow them for months at a time..books and magazines..and lots of newspapers..plus you can drink coffee and chat with the local people..its all good but i have a dell compute at home too...as my wife uses this a lot for her games of literati and word games..and for yaking with her friends all over the world

good for you..my wife is not very savy on the computer and she only plays literati once in awhile..so the computer is free..and have a nice day

before i got the internet i spent a lot of time doing games and traveling..now i am locked into a routine and i don't know if that is all that good either..lol

if you upgrade make sure you have enough RAM to run the new operating system..i had Windows ME and up graded to XP windows and it worked but was slow..like yours and i just had to delete files that were cluttering up space but it worked good enough for my purpose...now i have a new dell...with vista operating system and instead of the 128 ram..it requires at least 2 giga of RAM..the new operating system vista takes a lot of RAM...but i still have my old computer and it is old like yours..but I been thinking of running it too...with a router its possible..but I have problems with the new system too..newer is not always better..sad to say

yes, the newer computer have all the whistles and bells..and with the new Vista software you can do a lot of stuff that was impossible with the older models..i don't use the library too often..just to borrow DVD's , read a lot of magazines and newspapers and for visiting with my friends...sometimes it is nice to get out of the house...its either the library or the YMCA..have a nice day

that sounds cool..it sounds very convenient..but i am really jealous of your monitor...lol

i don't use the library much..as my computer is faster then the library but once in awhile i get on line there ..mostly i go to the library to read or get the free DVD's or VHS tapes..the last one i got there was "Lost Country" and it was very good..Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia..Bill Murray..it was about Cuba ..pre castro..bc..before communionism...Cubra Libra zzzzz
