Various things I can't do on my computer so thought of upgrade but everyone says don't, buy a new computer. What do you think? I need Microsoft Office, Word and to be able to print PDF documents and pics instead of boxes with red cross inside.

I have a Dell Dimension 2400 bought 2003. Any comments? Asked by Fancyfree 10 months ago Similar questions: things computer thought upgrade buy Computers > Hardware.

8 year old computer. You didn't tell us the amount of RAM, the speed, hard drive size, or anything else. An 8 year old computer is like a dinosaur.It's time to upgrade.

Thanks, ElBandidtoRoso. Am awaiting prices for upgrading this and also for a new computer, it's difficult to know which way to go. I am happy with what I have and not particularly computer literate.

Will see what prices I get. Fancyfree 10 months ago .

Essentially, computers have become like automobiles: cheaper to buy made already (whatever model you are looking for) than to assemble from parts.

Thanks DPD, I am still pondering the matter. New computer is the answer, as you say. Fancyfree 10 months ago .

Want a free office program,that in my opinion works just as good as Microsoft office,look at Open office 3.2 And yes your computer is getting up there on the old side,but if all you need is the office program, try Open office 3.2 and try it,if you don't like it simply uninstall it ,you have nothing to lose.

Thanks Squeeky. I need more memory, bells and whistles so will probably go for a new computer. Still awaiting prices from different sources.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
