I have photos, once again, I have no ability to post them....

A slowly dying motherboard has rendered every USB port on my computer inoperable.

The only solution? A new computer. One of the good news/bad news scenarios. A great birthday gift, too bad I have to pay for it...

It could be a week before I can post again, but I'm still shooting, and I'll still be commenting on everyone's wonderful posts.

BTW - This photo is not mine, it's a blatant internet pilfer... but I'll replace it just as soon as I can.

Well, it might not be yours but I feel so relieved that there is SOMETHING posted. And it's so fitting. Ok. So when's the birthday EXACTLY? ????? · 2011-01-06: 21:01

I like the photo and the commentary...I think you should leave it. I have so wanted to do that.....My motherboard just died and we are having to replace it. I am blessed to have several in my home....Happy Early Birthday. karmankwarner · 2011-01-06: 21:14

I would have enjoyed doing just that to my old computer...now, why didn't I think of that?! coloredlens · 2011-01-06: 21:19

Yeah, that does hurt. Just got back from picking up my laptop at the repair shop....guess at this point a bill for that is better than a bill for a new computer. Good luck! lookagain · 2011-01-06: 23:14

Poor you, I am blessed, I always could do this decision without any pressure. Mac´s don´t die GKorts · 2011-01-07: 03:21

I agree with Gkorts : Mac are great ! At first I was reluctant because I thought it would take me too much time to use a new computer as quickly as I used my PC. But it is really easy to understand, and I'm very glad I switched ! Ok, I feel like I'm lobbying for Apple now ! I'm not ! I hope your computer issues will be resolve very soon :D lismel · 2011-01-07: 05:01

I really feel for you Marjorie! You'll have a new one before you know it. Take loads of shots to soothe your soul! danrav · 2011-01-07: 05:28

There have many times that I wanted to shove my keyboard through my screen! This gave me a chuckle, even though I'm sorry for your problem! We'll miss you while your "gone". djnana · 2011-01-07: 21:20
