Re: Switching from Windows to Google o/s

I've decided to get a ChromeBook. I was kind of waffling because I just bought this computer last June, and I felt kind of bad to be wanting to get rid of it........then a while ago I was in the wife's sewing room where she keeps my old one from 2019......and I started playing around with it reading...

Re: Switching from Windows to Google o/s

Thanks for the replies guys. Harry and HHinner; Chromium OS sounds like exactly what I would like; don't use play anything, no apps to speak of and I hate Auto updates. (what does IIRC mean?) laser; thanks for info, I've been told here that I can't get Win 7 or 8 on this computer (otherwise I'd be O...

Switching from Windows to Google o/s

I have a fairly new Lenovo 14 inch ideapad laptop. I have become so agitated with Windows I'm thinking of switching to a Chrome O/S. Does anyone know if I can do that without changing computers?

Re: Police complaint lodged against parents in BBK death crash

She said the family did not pay right away because it did not have enough cash.

Re: Buying a SUV?

Reply to Scout - Sorry, tried to use quote but couldn't figure out today. I've been shopping for a new SUV for weeks. I won't buy one without "memory seats". Unfortunately in Thailand your only choice for products not in the elite buyer's group will be the Mazda CX-5. None of the reasonabl...

Re: Buying a SUV?

I was at Hua Hin Chevrolet last week looking at both the Trailblazers. I like them a lot but a little big for me and mine. Neither of us is over 5'4".

Re: Official Statement from BKK Bank in NY for US Fund Transfers

Re: What might tax be on sold home?

Should not the relative inflation rates be taken into account? Mind you, this question comes from a man who has ...

Re: New laptop suggestions

I just bought a 14" Lenovo I'm pretty happy with. Good screen & keyboard. I put Windows 8 on it instead of Win 10....if you've read any of my posts lately you'll know why.

When are you coming back?

Re: Official Statement from BKK Bank in NY for US Fund Transfers

O.K., color me dumb but in my prior post I thought everyone was talking about transfers from a U.S. account to a Thai account using a U.S. bank account. So.......to get it right this time why don't people having this problem open a U.S. bank account? to get the SS deposit to originally, then transfe...
