[nfbmi-talk] Off Topic: RE: dell

[gkitchen]

Hi Joe,

Yes, I  have thought of a  Apple and an I phone. Waiting for them to get 
cheaper, and that darn monthly fee from verizzon.
Many people are not crazy about microsoft but my tech fixex them cheaply. 
His name is rick crane and if you need his number let me know. He works fast 
and cheap.


I would like to see  an i phone before I decide I  would really like one.

I  do not i intend to buy a computer now. Mine is  doing well but it doesn't 
hurt to look around.

I have this darn jaws already.
Yes, memory is getting cheap. I check around for sales when I need a sd or 
flash drive.
Thanks for all your imput.
Georgia
