Gateway, private journals, etc..

To read this entry you should go to the "beta" side by clicking here.  If you are already at beta clicking here will do nothing.

 I have a Gateway computer.  Several reasons why I bought it but one of the reason was a store they had close by.  I knew that if I had any problems I could it back to them without having to mail it off.  Well I read in todays newspaper that they are closing all their stores!  I am really bummed about that.  Also if I took in a empty ink cartridge they would give me $5 off a new one. Bummer again.

I noticed that FINALLY someone at AOL answered my question about what will happen to private journals after the beta test is over. To get it "straight from the horses mouth" you can click on the following that I have copied from the entry about it.

Private Journals After Beta

OneStrangeCat wrote in wondering what happens to private Journals after the beta.

Well its simple really, they stay private and you don't have to go to beta to access them. All it means for anyone with a private journal is that you need to update your url, removing the word beta.

I do not understand why you would have to remove the word beta from the url but there it is folks.  Private journals will stay private.  But it looks like you have to update your url somehow.

I am still not sure why AOL created that journal.  It takes them forever to read their mail (I know, I sent mail with a receipt attached to it.) and it takes even longer for anything to be said about your question.  Do you find that journal helpful?  Do you even bother to read it?

Why do people name their journals the names that they have?  I guess the same can go about your screen name but I am more interested in what may be as plain as the nose on your face.

I am still worried about my little Sadie.  She just doesn't feel good.  I can tell several ways but the biggest one is that she isn't playing like she used to.  She also HATES to take her meds.  She is as strong as an ox when you try to give it to her.  She fights back and tries to get away.  She may look frail but she isn't.

I want to appolgise for not visiting and commenting the way I should.  I just haven't been reading much of anyone lately.  Maybe I am going through a little burn out.  I just don't know.  Someone asked me to do something that I may have wanted to do but I said no because I just don't feel dependable right now.  Crap.

When I named my journal, I seriously just put the first thing that popped into my head. That seems to work for me OK. The Gateway store here closed a few years ago. That's awesome about the $5 off ink when you bring in your used one. I wish they did that everywhere! There have been a couple things that journal has been informative about, but for the most part, nope, they don't help. ~Melissa

Let's see. My screen name is my name. My full name. I have heard you're not supposed to do that, but that was awhile ago. I was so happy to become KarynETaylor, and it shows. I was Karyn Saddler for almost 40 years! So hell yea, I celebrate my new name by making it my screen name ... and I took it when we were just engaged ... wanted to make sure it was available!! I used to be CowboyJunkieGirl, named for my favorite band.

Name of my journal: "Whatever It Takes — My Choices" is kind of the theme, about life, and raising a teenager, and being married, my take on it and how my thought process and actions affect things.

WOW on the Gateway thing, thought they had a good niche, unbelievable they are closing all of them! They ARE good computers, btw.
