Space Forum / Astronomy / November 2006Have Laptop Will Travel
Help Help Help I have it on line. Don't know how to use it My computer email is Herbertglazier@aol.net How do I get into this group? How do I get to answer under your posts. Captain nightbat,Double-A,and all those that are my friends please help. Keeping both webtv and my HP laptop on line. Bert PS might have to fly my grandson Kevin to Florida (kids know everything). I'm getting very frustrated. Why is it not user friendly Was it because I bought it at Wall-Mart? Bert > Help Help Help I have it on line.

Do you have a service provider? Double-A Double-A Service provider must be AOL? Have the box it came in in front of me. ITS a Compaq Presario Notebook PC V5305WN Its Designed for windows XP So far its giving me a nervous breakdown. If this is user friendly it must have been programmed by my worse enemy Oops I did get an email from Sheri. so maybe its me. Bert > Double-A Service provider must be AOL?

If this is > user friendly it must have been programmed by my worse enemy Oops I did > get an email from Sheri. so maybe its me. Bert You're getting email? Then you must be connected. I have a Compaq Presario too, but an older model, and not a notebook. If you are using AOL, they no longer supply access to Usenet, so you may have to post through Google. www.google.com Double-A >> Help Help Help I have it on line.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >What kind of computer is it and what is the email software, and what is >the browser software. Do you have a service provider? Double A read for content... Herb used Web TV... Web TV used a browser to read both mail and news. Look at the address Beeert gave: AOL is the provider, which doesn't provide any news service...  SignatureAk'toh'di Bert, Why not go to Google Groups, sign up fo membership, if you are not already, then post on Google Groups, which is what I and many others do? Look for "Groups" under the "More" link ... http://www.google.com Twitty I think I'm with Google? I think part of my problem is having used my MSN webtv for 8 years is screwing up my way of doing stuff. Not use to doing anything more than pressing a key to get me there. No pointer,and every thing is just about on my Home page,or I just press into "favorites" and I'm in Alt. Astronomy. Will keep both. go figure It was a good buy(I think) Bert Bert, I sent you an email to your AOL. Your address is NOT @net, by the way. Go to Google, sign up, and then search under the Groups search mode for alt.astronomy. You'll be fine. Are you signed on the Web via AOL now? Twitty Have not had time to check "laptop email" will do so latter. Yes I still have my web out of MSN and using it now. Your email came to me dark blue on black,and I could not read it (On my web address). Bert > Twitty Have not had time to check "laptop email" will do so latter. Yes > I still have my web out of MSN and using it now. Your email came to me > dark blue on black,and I could not read it (On my web address). Bert If you need help, you can call AA or me, or I you, via Cell phone. AA has an IBM-type comp, and I a Mac, so less directly helpful for you. But I can get you to usenet, for sure, via Google. Its user unfriendly. I have to pull the plug out of the wall to shut it off. It makes my Webtv look lije something out of the future. Who needs a mouse?. Who needs an arrow flying around on the screen? Have my web for 8 years,and it is virus free. Now I have to pay $60 a year to keep laptop virus free.This begs the question "IS this progress? Go figure Bert Bert, I bet it's easier to use than you think. Sounds like you need a nice patient tutor to show you its tricks ... ... then you might fall in love with it. Bert, Twitterer is right. All you need is a tutor-er. Seriously. I have a snazzy 'real' computer running Windows XP on DSL and love it. It's great for lots and lots of stuff where connection speed is paramount, such as playing videos. But i'll tell you this- nothing beats the old Webbie rig for posting to NGs. The faihful, reliable old girl is still good for what she's good for.. while the hot 'New' phillie is tedious, tempermental and tiring when it comes to NGs. If all you want to do is NGs, stick with the Webbie rig. But bein's you got a new computer, get a tutor. It'll open up a whole world of wonderful new stuff for you. Another reason for using the old rig for NGs is as a spam trap. That way, the new rig doesn't get contaminated with spam. For example, Header address is a spam trap. E-mail: oldcoot7074 at sbcglobal.net Change 'at' to @ Twitty I know its me. I have a mental block using this laptop. Its like my mental block on learning how to spell and construct a sentence. I'm thinking of having my grandsons come to Florida to show me how to use it. They were taught in school when they were 8 Bert > Its user unfriendly.

Bert, those of us who learned to use a PC using the DOS operating system said these same thing when WINOWS came out. But now I wouldn't be without it. Find on your Start-Up Menu the online tutorial, which will be something like "Wecome to WINDOWS". It may have come up automatically the first time you powered up. That will step you through the basic things you need to learn to run your machine. It's a computer, Bert. It's not for dummies. > Have my web > for 8 years,and it is virus free.

This begs the question "IS this progress? Go figure > Bert Well, you are having to learn, aren't you? That's progress! Double-A >> Its user unfriendly.

I would rather have a shell account and operate in a unix/linux. f.ck windows! >Find on your Start-Up Menu the online tutorial, which will be something >like "Wecome to WINDOWS".

Which means it isn't for beert brain. My mom was 3 years old when she got her last WindowsXP based machine. She misses her shell account. alas there are fewer ISP offering real access. >> Have my web >> for 8 years,and it is virus free.

Typo: 83 Years old SignatureAk'toh'di Double-A I'm a dummie when it comes to computers. Bert >Double-A I'm a dummie when it comes to computers. Bert You should have stopped, and not added the qualifier. SignatureAk'toh'di >>Double-A I'm a dummie when it comes to computers. Bert > > You should have stopped, and not added the qualifier. OTOH, a qualifier suits you just fine, gooseling... ". . . when it comes to magnetism." SignatureLife is Mesmerizingly Good! Indelibly yours, Paine http://www.painellsworth.net http://www.savethechildren.org Painius I now know how to turn it on and turn it off. Its in between those to actions that I'm having trouble with. Well Freddy my next door neighbor is back home and he has a computer that uses AOL and maybe I'll be on line??? bert PS I predict a big come back for webtv Now I just have to see if I can reply. I;m a little slow,but like a turtle I'll get it down Bert |
