New computer on the way!

I walked to the edge of the abyss and stared down, all the while calculating my survival stats if I jumped, ie Grand Canyon, so I jumped and free falling is such a rush!
Inspiron One 23 All-in-One With Optional Touch Screen Desktop Details | Dell

In human terminology last night my 'puter told me to go shag myself and was totall suckage. You do not have to reply only laugh along with me.

 

I could use some assistance regarding transfering my info such as favorites and pics to my new computer from my old computer. I have not hooked it up yet as I am still waiting for my monitor and wireless keyboard & mouse but can I copy all that stuff to a flashdrive then transfer?

Thanks in advance. I will be recieveing them tomorrow and would like to be somewhat prepared.

Nevermind.

 

^^^^ I successfully transferred my pics!! Man I thought my last computer was fast but this new one ROCKS and I am now completely wireless (well I will be after DELL sends me the wireless router/modem they failed to send with my wireless keyboard and mouse).

I am still learning 'Windows 8' though but overall I am very happy.

 

I'm in heaven but I am still having one issue and that is adding a desk top icon for my media player. Right now I still have to open the player just to get the screen but with 'Windows 7' I did not have that issue, has my 'puter become "Self Aware "? Atleast someone or something is paying attention!

Just a funny aside the song playing now is "Eric Carmen - All By myself" .

 

I spoke too soon !!

With the new system I thought I was upgrading by eliminating useless cords with a wireless keyboard and mouse and 'phone jack/modem' line. I received the tower this past Saturday and then had to wait until Monday for delivery of the 23' monitor then I waited another day to receive the wireless keyboard/mouse combo . The combo came with a 'drivers disc' yet I received no wireless router so I called DELL back and made a cordial attempt at explaining the issue the next day yet I received yet ANOTHER wireless keyboard/mouse!?!?!?!

Apparentley there is a USB drive, I call them a 'flashdrive' that has all the software downloaded but still never received yet should have been included in the 'wireless' package. I have no doubt I would have received all the required hardware/software in one package if I had been directed to a US customer service/technical rep instead of a rep in India. I'm not racist but I am fed up with DELLS customer service as a 20yr customer.

Sorry I had to vent but customer service is crap these days .

 

Not that anyone cares but after giving Dell one last chance I finally talked with a tech, another 2hrs = 10+ now, who realized I may have been sent the wrong wireless keyboard and mouse!!!! Two less cords for these soon to be "marinated and grilled" kittens to mess with!


Oh crap PETA just sent me an urgent email, shackles and chains, what should I wear?

 

Well after receiving 4 inoperable Dell wireless keyboards and mouses I was FINALLY sent a Logitech setup and it works great and I now have two less cords for the kittens to mess with yet............now I have 2 dongles!

 

Well it was inevitable...I bought a laptop yesterday so I will have more than just a radio at work and do not have to reread the newspaper 20 frickin times!! I had a specific budget in mind and chose a Dell Inspiron 17-3721.

21st Century here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My biggest issue with laptops is/was the lack of a mouse although now I realize I can go wireless. Believe it or not the sales rep I spoke with and ordered from was in that quaint little town of Austin,TX! Hopefully she knew what she was talking about when she said I will have service, ie the interweb! The home system is still using a modem/phone line.

Note too self "check the system before you get to work Forrest and cannot find your poon!"

 

Yes sir I really love this Logitech setup and yepper that USB is out of site (installed on the rear). I'll get adjusted to the finger pad thingamajig I but will get the wireless mouse for it, did you purchase your wireless mouse with your laptop or separately? It will be nice being able to watch movies during the graveyard shift or get on Fchat.

 

Same here, well with the desktop, and FedEx contacted me today and said my laptop will be delivered by or before 7pm tomorrow. Since I start my 3 day "grave yard" shift tomorrow that was great news considering Dell's proposed delivery date was 4/8.

I think I'll watch "Tropic Thunder" tomorrow night!

 

Well I received my Inspiron 17 and could not be more happy with it and I am on it now. I do have a few issues with DELL's customer support regarding necessary information. My desktop is not wireless and I was told it needed to be, lie.

So anyway $30 later for a wireless connection device from AT&T and an EXTRA $50/month on our monthly bill I am now connected. Oh well like I said and have been told "Dude it's the 21st century not the '80s, join the club, lol!

 

I am a computer dummy but on that note............no we do not have Uverse wireless setup at home, phone line and modem, but we are going wireless (Uverse) this Monday. I am either getting wrong info or talking to the wrong people because I almost passed out when I was told my wireless laptop service would be an additional $50 per month!!

The AT&T sales guy did mention that my computer, since it is new, probably already has this capability. I/we have been with AT&T for 30+ years for our home phone service and for atleast 10yrs for our cellphone service. Our desktop service is between $20-$30 per month, we are recieveing free Uverse installment that I was told would NOT increase our monthly bill so...........................

WHY IN THE "H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS" AM I BEING CHARGED $50 EXTRA A MONTH JUST FOR WIRELESS LAPTOP SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

When you call customer service from a S-P-E-F-I-C country................."I WANNA TALK TO SOMEONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND ME. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TOO CUSTOMER SERVICE????

I AM SICK AND FAWKING TIRED OF SPENDING 2HR's A DAY ON THE PHONE WITH THE IDIOTS AT DELL AND AT&T!!!!!!
