A new computer

[rose7]

My old computer broke down last week, acting up, and I decided I would buy a new one now instead of in the fall when I was planning on doing that anyway. I was without one for a few days and it was o.k. but a bit annoying. How fast have I become dependent on having internet access and looking up something, being able to write e-mails and using the

Wheeeeeeeee. Rose, back on line. I LOVE Windows XP...nice bells and whistles [now if I could only figure them out] - LOL! *hugs*

I am not only back, it is Friday evening and I can sleep in tomorrow!
Which totally explains why I am not out or watching a DVD and instead sit in front of my new, shiny, fast computer catching up!
Yes, I am back!

*waves* Hi Rose! Glad you're up and running!

You know I've noticed you don't use a LJ icon...did you not find anything you like, or do you need someone to make you one? If you find pics that you like, I can get you something customized....

The reason I don't use an icon is that I have not the slightest idea how to do that. If you would teach me, I would be very grateful!

that's no problem. There are great icons everywhere. Try a google search under 'live journal icons' or 'LJ icons'. When you find something you like, click on it and save it to a file on your hard drive. Then log on to LJ and under 'your Settings' (left side) click on 'your pictures'. You can let LJ search your Hard drive and load the pictures that way. You can use original pictures also, they need to be in 100x100 format though. If you want something with your name on it I can get that done. Try it and let me know if you have problems.

BTW you can also click on other people's icons and use them (get permission if it's a personal one) I know Rhi doesn't mind, and there are others that post icons for people to use freely

Thank you!
I will definitely play with that over the weekend and get back to you about the name! Thank you!
