XP expired - What One Month W/O Tech Taught Me

Tweet

Oyie! I am the world's worst about keeping my techy gadgets current. Partly it's the price - newer items are always more expensive & newer models aren't always packed with enough innovative features to warrant the price! So.... there I was - April of 2013 - I had just quit teaching (suddenly & abruptly) and decided to cast my fate to the internet winds. No sooner had I done so than XP had been discarded by Mockrosoft. (intentional misspelling) and I was faced with not only having to up grade my OS - but also my system, which was already 6 years out of date tech wise. (and slow as snails too!) -- all of which would have been a huge expense! So - For over two years - I nurtured my online biz while I made do with the equipment I had. Finally the entire system crashed. I was without a PC for a month. A whole MONTH. Can you imaging running your internet biz from a smartphone? Well - maybe its' possible with a smarterphone than I have - but I did manage to scrape by. And I certainly learned the importance of not only saving and waiting - but also for planning and *do*ing the upgrades necessary! Now - I'm typing this from my new PC - because I waited - I was able to afford better equipment & choose the style of gear - mostly being wireless. I love the freedom of having mobile keyboards, mouse, & speakers. Now if only I can get the monitor mounted to the wall now..... Thankful for many blessings this #SeasonofGratitude Visit me @ #SunPixiesfromDixie
