At least once I have the new one set up he can use this one and do whatever he wants on it without compromising our personal information. I can continue to do my online banking and household accounts, shopping and bill paying without worrying about what he may have just clicked on.
Also, he may be able to find some online games to download - something I have resisted up until now for reasons of security concerns.
It also meams that I don't have to wait my turn to go online - I can use my laptop whenever I want to.
Result!
"He can use this one and do whatever he wants on it..." Does that mean you are cool about him visiting "thetillersgirls.com" and "nunsundressed.com"?
ReplyDeleteHe would probably need new glasses to see what was going on.
DeleteGood idea. We both have a tablet a piece to go online and read blogs and play games. How did we pass time before the Internet?
ReplyDeleteI do have a tablet too, just for browsing and games, but the laptop is much better for more complicated tasks. The keyboard works better for a start!
DeleteI remember a discussion along these lines many months ago. Well done for going ahead and spending the money at last. You will both be happy.
ReplyDeleteEvery cloud has a silver lining. The Tesco scam was yours.
DeleteHe couldn't really say no after his second faux pas. No leg to stand on!
DeleteIt feels good to be assertive sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I must try it more often.
DeleteI have a laptop and DB has a desktop. There is no way I would let him on my computer.
ReplyDeleteVery wise!
DeleteI have a built-in resistance to playing games on the internet - even during lockdown I feel I should be doing something more useful. Stupid I know.
ReplyDeleteNot stupid Weaver. You are more constructive than I am. I find some games help my mind relax. Mindless activity takes away my stress.
DeleteWe have 'his and hers' - mine is a desk-top because I wanted a full, sloping keyboard, and his a laptop. Perfect arrangement!
ReplyDeleteExactly. Divorce averted!
DeleteI prefer a desktop and have one in the lounge and one in my workroom. Tom has a large kindle. we also have an ipad each and of course the iphones. Oh all this electronic stuff gets on my nerves some times and I wish it was all gone but then what would I do, I seem to have forgotten what we did before all this.

I have almost forgotten how to write properly!
DeleteHope it wasn't too expensive. Probably a good investment both financially and for your peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteI spent some of the money refunded for our cancelled holiday. It is worth it for the peace of mind, as you say.
DeleteHope you and your new laptop will be very happy! My hubs is just an occasional user fortunately.
ReplyDeleteHugs, x.
I am looking forward to some peace of mind 😁
DeleteHurray - every woman needs a laptop of her own; to paraphrase Virginia Woolf!
