19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
[20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I know you are being facetious but seriously Christians have much more to look forward to in eternity.
OR: you could just get a Mac.
I’m thankfull for free photoshop brushes.
My two favorite Free programs:
AVAST - Anti-virus, uses few resources
Advanced System Care - Great program to keep your computer running smooth.
I agree completely. And the bible verses are very appropriate. The more stuff we collect, the harder it is to hold on to it all, and it can become an obsession.
I hope I didn't come across as making fun of Thanksgiving. I am very thankful for this country and all God has given me. I just thought I would pass on some money saving tips for computer owners
......Sigh
Yeah, I hear that all the time from my coworkers. I just can't bring myself to part with that much money for a computer.
“I just can’t bring myself to part with that much money for a computer.”
While that is certainly an issue, I switched to Mac about 4 years ago and between the quality of the operating system, the ease of use, and the absence of virus, trojan horses, or adware problems, the money was worth every penny.
My PC is partitioned with about 30 meg for the OS/programs and the remainder for data.
Whenever I get it to a status I like, I do a clonegenius imaging of the OS partition. Clonegenius creates files of the entire OS partition.
Then, if I need to ‘recover’ from bad program installation, trojans, viruses, etc., I can use clonegenius to return to the last/best working version. And I don’t have to reinstall the software, nor re-set all the settings.
Clonegenius is one program worth considering.

Think of it this way. When I had XP and Vista I would have to restart my computer at least four times a day. ( I work a lot of my computer) I work at least six days a week, so that is about 24 restarts at 5 minutes each. Or, about two hours a week. At the end of a year, I was spending nearly 100 hours a year waiting for my PC to reboot.
Is that worth the price of a Mac?
BTT

Bump for later
I'm thankful that I had my anti-virus program set to "manual" during the time when the AVG Virus Scanner Accidentally Removed Critical Windows Components, earlier this month. I luckily avoided that disaster.
I use AVG too. And I also don’t let it automatically delete things. That’s one of the hazards of using free stuff
Bump for later x2
But Linux is free!
