Advise required for simple minded person when it comes to computers (ie I can turn one on and use it - but ask me how many meg of RAM I have and I'll scream and run away)
My poor old computer circa 1997 and running Windows 95 - is slow, verrrrry slow, refuses to recognise the mouse (virtually making it useless at the moment!). I have about a year left of needing to use my computer for study purposes - then it will purely be for recreational use (ie very little).
I basically have no idea what to do and I know what sales people are like (PUSHY!)- I'm guessing the options are:
1: Buy a new computer
2: Upgrade the old
3: Have considered a second hand notebook - I really cant see the value in a new one when I really only need it for another year.
Are there any of the above options people would/wouldnt recommend????? Anything I should look out for???? Size (?) requirements etc???
All help would be much appreciated
