New computer happiness...

[deborahjross]

Or at least, no major storminess so far. I've never had such a smooth upgrade/transfer. I usually end up in tears and throwing things. My data (well, all I've checked so far) have been migrated to the new computer, and the next step will be for my lovely spouse/computergeek to show me how to synch my desktop and shiny new very-lightweight notepad so I can write wherever and not have to do the laborious save-on-disc-and-transfer.

So far, Windows 7 isn't a whole lot more bewildering than any other version of Windows has been. However, it has this zoom feature whenever it presents you with anything (like, I open a program) and it's making me a tad motion-sick. Beloved spouse says I can turn it off, but I think I'll stay with the roller-coaster-ride effect until I either get too sick or too bored with it.

Congrats on the new computer. I've had my new destop computer with Windows7 about a week now and my only compliant was the teeny tiny keyboard. Just got an adapter today and am happily typing away on my old keyboard. :-)

Hmmm... my new keyboard is full-sized. The touch is a little different, but I'll get used to it. The mouse, otoh, is a definite improvement in how it fits my hand. (I don't have problems with carpal tunnel or anything, it just feels nice.)

Happy computer! Does this mean you'll be around more in days to come?
