The day the computer died....and they were singing.....
 

It happened. After a year of hanging on my desktop is no more, unless my attempts at resuscitation suddenly decide to work. I am now on this ancient laptop that I didn't even know still worked.
Anyway, my question. Does anyone have a knowledgeable opinion on the all-in-one computers? The idea is perfect for me and my vision of a future wireless household. It's not a wireless computer, but it's getting closer.
Any computer geeks with opinions, please offer them up. I'm not into online gaming, so I don't need the superfast.
Thanks in advance.

my father just got the all in one HP. He loves it.

I looked at one for my dad, as well. My only real criteria was a 24" or larger monitor for his elderly eyes. In that size, it was cheaper to buy them separately.

I do like the idea.

Now I'm in the same league as TFPer's fathers.... :shakehead:
How do you play that WOW thing?

:lol: Oh, Grancey. You could totally play, and I'd bet you'd kick total ass, too.

Dunno your budget or anything, but you might take a hard look at an iMac. The basic one is still plenty powerful for most computing needs, especially if you're not a gamer (and it'll still play WoW plenty well). My wife just bought the slightly upgraded 21" model and has been very happy with it so far.

On a 24" monitor. My eyes suck, too.

I'm 54, my dad is 83.

Did not have to get a new computer. I decided to try installing a new power supply first, and it worked!! It seems there is some life left in this one. Saved a bundle. Thanks for the advice, all.

awesome! I will forward all tech support issues to you.

any small expense to keep tech working and not spend money on it is always a good thing.

Avoid wireless if you can, especially if you are a gamer - wireless is just one more thing that can go wrong. Its always better to have a direct connection to your modem if possible.

Wireless is ok for surfing the web or if you have no choice.

I have had no problems with my wireless keyboard, mouse and printer. The computer will be my next purchase, but not in the near future.
