wow that IS quite a difference... hopefully someone here has an answer there are more than a few linux gurus in here... i have ubuntu...but i'm pretty lame in how it all works **snicker** i just like to say things like "run a test and post your image" so the techie guys can help... it would also help if you post up some info about your hardware...what's all in your box and connected to it.

run a speed test here on both systems and post the image of both...see how it goes

Welcome usmcwag and thank you for all you do for our country. i'm wondering if the amsterdam server would be closer to you to test from...on the download test page just choose "europe"

so worked up...take a deep breath...and realize...it's just all virtual

huh?? no...i was serious that was for ca3le and christian this is for you

thx ca3le...i was joking...But who is this Debbie you all keep speaking of?

i wouldn't really call myself a newbie...**humph**

well since you didn't and i love it too...i did

root programs??...what's that? substandard. i figure...it's not broken so i have no need to fix it. and when it is broken i can't be trying to fix it with any backdoor smartypants way...i have to do it the easy way. i do appreciate you guys teaching me new stuff that i can figure out how to do tho...i wouldn't what i know if it wasn't for my brilliant son and all of you...my cyber buddies.

thx...but...nah...i love my libre office...it's almost exactly like ms office

yeh er sum'in like that...but i know that there's no support for open office anymore but you can still get it

oh it comes with libre office...which from what i understand is what open office became after being bought out by sun corp...it does it all and is compatible with office and vice versa...you just save in the regular office format. i learned this because my grdaughter saved a powerpoint...calledimpress in libre and the extension is odt so the teacher couoldn't open it and we had to save it as a ppt...easy

office??...as in word, powerpoint, excel??

that's all greek to me...maybe you can get on the horn with me and walk me thru next time at the risk of sounding completely stupid...who's that?

what?? what are you talking about??

well i thought i should update this...i finished upgrading my computer and my granddaughters computer...had to do them in steps cuz we were a couple of upgrades behind...and i stopped at 12.4 because it's LTS and 12.10 isn't sooo all don't with no issues at all...thanks all for the encouragement...that made be be brave enough to dive in and just do it.

wait!!!...americans don't have an accent...the british have an accent...as does anyone else from a foreign country speaking english

hahaha

i use talk to text on my phone all the time...comes back with some pretty crazy stuff sometimes...like one time i was walking out of work (long hallway) and i was picking up my daughter but i was gonna stop home and shower and change clothes so i said "i'm gonna run home and jump in the shower real quick and change clothes" it came back with " i'm gonna run home and j*** off in the shower real quick and change clothes" hahahaha i almost pee'd my pants laughing...people were looking at me tears running down my face...i shoulda just sent it but it was going to my very prim daughter who wouldn't have found it funny...or maybe she would have.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope you have a wonderful day...and many more to come!

i believe you have to have a certain post count to edit...send me a message what edit you want made and i can do it for you... i sure hope someone in here pops in pretty quick to help with your connection problems not that long ago i had problems...my speeds dipped dramatically and testmy was the only site that picked up the problem...all the others showed my regular speeds...turned out to be that i just needed to buy a new modem (which you've already done) and these guys in here helped me figure that out. so hang in there

yeh he's gonna help me today...i'm a chicken yeh i've lost a lot before...i actually started this topic for the purpose of informing others ...good or bad...but i had read in a forum about a year ago that someone had updated and it wiped everything. so i also wanted to know if anyone in here had wished they had backed up their stuff thank you...that makes me feel better

my dilema...i have natty narwhal...and i just got notice that my time is up and i won't be getting any updates or support and that i need to upgrade...i think to oneric ocelot... my question is...has anyone else done this and what can i expect...will i lose email? pictures? files? do i need back everything up? AND is it difficult to do?

post up all the specs on your computer...who your provider is... and your speed here edit...i can see that you have digital...is this from your phone?? and you are in the philipines? i'm guessing because looking at your tests it detects an android...and looking at other members that have digital they are in the philipines...and you ARE getting only a fraction of what others are getting. hopefully someone that knows this isp can chime in and help i suggest that you also post this topic in the "make it faster" section...that's where all the "techies" hang out
