Posting this just to explain that I will not be commenting for awhile until I get all my files transferred to my new computer. I'm not the most savvy at this, but I can do it. I'm just lazy about getting going. I had better though because I only have 28 days left before I can't return the computer if I don't like it. It's a Gateway tower with 8GB of RAM and 1TB Sata hard drive.

I almost bought a Dell all-in-one, but decided I didn't like having my monitor and CPU being one piece. It had less RAM too and a slower processor for $180 more. Hope I made the right choice.

A very pretty "Going Away" present, Cindy. You did fine with the RAM and HD. Hope you did as well with the Processor. That's the heart and speed. Nice that you have a reasonable return policy if you aren't satisfied.

Great shot Cindy - saved for my DT tomorrow - we got the 8GB of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive as well - went with an Intel Core I5 2550 CPU because of the speed and the fact it is unlocked - also put in a 1TB backup drive at the same time so I won't lose all my files - this backups automatically now so I don't have to worry. Enjoy the new 'puter.

Cindy, I think this is a fantastic stargazer capture, the water drops of course just add even more to this wonderful shot. I think your choice of buying from a place with a return policy was a good choice, one just never knows, but it sounds like a good choice. Tigs♥ =^..^=

I'm not sure if my fingers will allow me to type this. Wouldn't be surprised if my eyeballs start swirling and I blow a fuse. Here goes. My hands are trembling and I'm breaking into a sweat. My eyes cannot focus on the keyboard as I feel a nervous breakdown approaching. I feel jittery from head to toe and my palms are sweating. I can feel my pulse racing. But here goes.

Beautiful shot of this gorgeous flower.

Do two jobs at the same time...as you transfer your stuff...transfer to an alternative storage at the same time, so you don't lose anything!..(aka: DVD's or Ex hard drive)...

Thank you for this amazing piece of work!

That is a great PC Cindy. I too have 1 TB but I will never get it even one fourth full. Have only 4GB RAM but that is enough for my Flight Simulator etc. Beautiful shot of the lily.

Congrats with your new equipment Cindy. I suppose that the 1 TB hard drive is big enough to save all the (if they are good) images on Caedes. Will only cost 'some' time, lol.

Success, and thanks for this wonderful image. Hope you'll be back soon.

Regards, Cornelius.
