Bit the Bullet...

Hated to, but just had to bite the bullet and buy another PC today.

My old Gateway was purchased in 2001. Has crashed once and rebuilt....now is toast. Filled so full of spyware and viruses the other day I couldnt even get it to cut on anymore.

Anyway, got a new HP that is running fast as lightening compared to the dinasour I used to have.

Now I'm beginning to understand how fast LAN really is!

ANyway.....I'M BACK!!!

Enjoy the new computer! And I'll look forward to seeing more pics of those whoppers you've been catching!

when your computer starts getting slow...from spyware and malware...go to Ad-Aware @ Lavasoft - The Original Anti-Spyware Company - Lavasoft and download ad-aware. Its free and let it scan and clean the spyware up. Even with virus protection...its good to go to Antivirus & Content Security Software | Securing Your Web World - Trend Micro USA and then go to housecall and do a free virus and spyware scan periodically or at least once a month. It will surprise you how much it helps. I do this on our network at work....and it really works.

No rain but lots of wind. Might get to fish again after the wind passes.

Congrats on your new puter

I know how hard it is to bite the bullet and let the dinosaur lay down and die

Good luck with it.

Don't worry about it Captian, thanks for the help. Stump gave me a number to call. I have just been waiting to see if the mag. from the 15 that I bought for parts is going to work. If not they calling stump's guy. If that don't work then I am going to sell the boat, trailor, trolling motor and both motors and use that money towards a new used set up.
