Do you have the option to give it a factory wipe? go back to factory settings and start over?

No I don't. I've had to replace the original hard drive since then as it was failing. The original operating system was Windows Vista until it was upgraded to 7.

Sarah - yeah, if we're in town for a concert, we tend to stay over night and walk right by that area.

Johnnie - sounds like it's time you start looking for a replacement

Dave - are your teeth bothering you/

Tracey - how is your day going?

I'm visiting mom this morning. It will be interesting to see how that goes. It's been really frustrating lately because she gets distracted easily, and doesn't seem to realize that she has company.

Tracey - nice weather always helps.

Dave - oh, I see. You mentioned before about staying on top of routine check-ups, so it surprised me that you thought you had several cavities.

Johnnie - how was your day?

Visits at mom's residence are supposed to be for 30 minutes, but I was there about 45, until they needed to get her ready for lunch. 15 minutes would have been sufficient. Mom seemed to know who I was, and made a bit of effort to talk to me, even if for the most part it didn't make sense. After about 10 minutes she lost interest and was messing around with the blanket on her bed, then rummaging through her dresser drawers. She's really deteriorated since last time I saw her.

Yeah, might not be top of the line, but should be great for what I use it for. Plus it comes with a DVD-RW player in it... Glad that I have two external hard drives, those are easy to switch over.

Friends of mine on DDO recommended a Cyberpower one... but buying off their website is likely pricey with prices in American and like 109 dollars shipping to Canada while the States is free. Amazon.ca seems like the better option. Will just buy an external USB DVD-RW drive.

Hope you have a good birthday Tracey!
