I went to the library yesterday so see if I could use one of their computers. I had a terrible time, it was nothing like mine. It did have a mouse, but nothing else was familiar. I did get one librarian to help me get "into" it, but I have no idea what she did. I was not even able to move the page I was on, up and down. I was so frustrated that I almost cried.
I mainly use a computer to handle my finances. Since no local banks pay a decent rate, I keep several accounts at online banks and transfer the money (for building the spec house) when I need it. I am trying to open a new account at navy federal credit union, but apparently my computer is so outdated, that I cannot get into view my account. Dh is not help, he has never used a computer. He suggests that I just keep our money locally and forget about trying to earn any interest.
disappointing library trip

If you are not looking for the best price, Lenovo, Dell and HP all have websites from which you can order a new computer. Best Buy and Staples also have websites. You can call them and they will help you pick something out. Your new computer can be delivered to your house in a couple of days. You just need something simple - an i-3 processor, 4 GB of memory, and a 500 GB hard drive. A 24 or 27 inch monitor makes the screen easier to read.
Maybe one of your friends or the people that you hold the mortgage for can help you set it up. Perhaps they can also help you pick one out that will meet your needs.
But STAY AWAY from public computers!

But seriously .. is there a college of some type near you? If so, maybe try calling their Technology / Internet Technology / Computer Department (whatever they call it) and see if they could recommend a student to come out and help you both in getting set up with a new computer and getting it configured to where you feel good about using it. I bet they would even do it for community service type thing/extra credit after you write a glowing report of how much they listened to your needs and patiently explained things. -- Maybe someone studying to be a teacher who is also really tech savvy ...
