-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Looking for advice

When it comes to games, don't laugh, I LOVE ALL the Super Granny games,
Search object games and games like Fishdom.  Not a real serious gamer on the
computer.  I have a PS2 for that.  I have PSP9 (cause I refuse to update
it), Photoshop Elements 6 and will only run one at a time.  My computer is
just for pleasure and nothing serious.  It's where I relax and create.  I am
a serious scrapbooker and looking into figuring out digital scrapping.  They
only thing that I would attach to my computer would be my memory cards from
my cameras.  I don't need two monitors because between a hyper 17 yr old and
three grandkids one monitor is so soothing.  I'm not looking for something
that could blow holes through the wall.  All I really really want is a
computer that will run Elements, ITunes and my browser with 2 or 3 windows
opened.  I don't want chopping and I don't want it to lag.  When I click the
icon I want it to start and not take 5 or 10 minutes to actually do it then
sit and wait for a folder to open.  I would think a cheap computer capable
of that but I want to be sure that I can click and get it now.  Now later.
Sorry I sound impatient but when it comes to computers it should just be SO
much faster then waiting around for my grandson to pick up a toy *which by
the way could take 5 to 15 minutes *G**
So that's what I am wanting.  A gaming system just sounds like it would be
up to speed and to what I want now and not later.  That is why I was looking
more at that system.
