I think it's about time for a new computer... - Page 4

Ok, got the new PC set up. Now all I'm waiting on is a new back-up drive, scheduled to arrive 12/1. As soon as I have that, I'll send you the old one (with my luck, I can't chance having a single copy of this stuff).

So here's the breakdown (in addition to what I listed above):
I updated MS Office to 2007 so you'll be able to open/work with the new XML formats for office docs (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)

I found the office 2010 I ordered did not include MS Project, that was a $900 add-on, so I have to keep the disc for MS project 2003. However, it is still installed on the PC.

Adobe Professional v7.1

80G + 500G internal hard drives (I put the OS on the 80G and used the 500G for My Documents)

500G Maxtor external back-up drive

Wireless card

I think that's about it as far as upgrades. Hope it treats you well!! PM me your address and I'll get it out to you 12/2. Once it's shipped, I'll PM you the cost and you can send to me when you can.

Got your PM. Sounds like a nice setup. I have Office 2010 that I got free from school. It doesn't have Project, but that's not anything I would use anyway.

I can't thank you enough.

Ok, project is a resource hog so I'll uninstall that. I also have Visio 2003... does your Office 2010 include that? If not, would you have any use for it?

And no worries, I know what it's like to put yourself through school and have a lot of respect for you and what you doing while keeping your finances in check. It's not easy!

Last but not least, there is one other member here that took an interest in helping you out and has agreed to pick up the shipping charges. His only request was that he remain anonymous.

No, my version of Office 2010 does not have Visio. After reading about it, I also would not have any use for it.

I don't know what to say. I can't thank you or the other person enough. I will definitely pay this forward to someone else, in some form.

Learn Visio - that way you can wish for the ability to bash your own brains out on the desk just like me

We use it for root cause analysis techniques. Never seemed that bad to me. What do they make you do with it?

Map out things for EVERY little contingency.
