You have your recipes and flavors, etc.....very easy when finding recipes online to copy and paste them into a file using the included chomebook docs and then saving it to the flash drive. Think of it as a c drive(on your main computer that has all the programs etc--same thing but in doesn't hold any program files--only holds what you put on it and is removable so I considered it the safest way to keep data. Once you remove it from the computer(if you ever do) no one can have access to that data except you when you plug it back in to use it.
Ok,it's starting to make sense to me........You have your recipes and flavors, etc.....very easy when finding recipes online to copy and paste them into a file using the included chomebook docs and then saving it to the flash drive.

You are right about the macs being expensive. You'd have to add about 900 to the price of a chromebook. I'm sure it's more than Fran needs. I was confused as to whether you wanted a laptop or a desktop computer Fran. I saw this morning that Micro Center has some good deals on Dell laptops right now with i5 processors if you wanted something with a good sized hard drive.
I have no interest in Mac. I already have a laptop and I'm really looking to replace my desktop. It's just what I'm used to and I'm rather stuck in my ways.
Here are couple depending on how much you want to spend. To me the 579 one would be worth the money but maybe it's more computer than you need. they have the basic for 379.

Actually the chromebooks have in common with android phones. You can do a lot on just a phone but I prefer a much bigger screen. Plus it is much more secure. LOL Also sometimes when traveling with my phone and chromebook, I can purchase a program from my isp phone provider called a 'hotspot'. It cost me $10. a month(and I get it only when I need it so its not permanent) and can use my connection to the internet(from my phone) to connect to my computer.
In addition, as long as there is a wifi connection this chromebook can be used anywhere you go. If, when at your daughters house and she has internet you can take it with you and connect to hers.(without the hotspot program)

HP's are good computers and they have great printers. But for someone who doesn't need all of that(plus you have to keep up with the installations of programs) and have to buy extra security programs to guard against viruses and id theft etc. I am sorry it just seems to me to be way over the top and a whole lot of money for something you may never use its full potential for. That is just my opinion but whatever you feel comfortable with is what you should do.
The only problem I have is that go fund me has no paypal access. I won't put my cc info onto the internet straight out like that. If you can find an alternate way, I will be happy to donate.
I guess a lot of people feel that way. She's gotten a lot of cash,checks and pre-paid Visa cards.The only problem I have is that go fund me has no paypal access. I won't put my cc info onto the internet straight out like that. If you can find an alternate way, I will be happy to donate.
Wish I would have thought of that yesterday. LOL If I sent something made out to you, would you be willing to cash and send it along? Or maybe your pp email address? ok to pm it.

I made a small donation. I'm not afraid or too dumb to care but I used my credit card. It's protected against fraud if someone got it.
The HP computer she sent the link for looks nice if you are willing to spend that much. I'm not sure why it's got an extra 16gb ssd.
Thanks,Hitt. Every little bit helps out. On the computer I have no clue....LOL.
I think the Dell one is about the same that I linked for 579 but doesn't have the extra 16gb ssd drive. Do you have a best buy store or anything like that close by? Sometimes you can find good deals in store also.
Best But is about 60miles away. I usually just order online if I get anything from them.
