The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThe LOLcats will not be posted this weekend.
I'm having problems with my laptop, and am waiting to see if a local friend, or shop, can fix them. Space and memory issues on a system not able to handle upgrades to Win10 appears to be the reason. Ai iz not smart on deez issuez, ai gets smarter hooman to maik surez.
There are also family issues that won't allow me to address a fix until after this weekend.
Hopefully, teh kittehs and squee will be back in two weeks. If that changes, I'll post more info.
The LOLcats are therapy for all of us, especially so for me. Saving the pics, and giggling as I do, helps get me through the times we live in, and enjoying your reactions makes for a boost that sends me into each new week recharged, and refreshed. You make every Sunday a happy one, and I am grateful for that.
Talk to you all soon.

(9,426 posts)It is a great way to start the day. Love all the animal photos, and the jokes. One of my favorite sites to log on to each Sunday. Good luck, hope all is resolved soon for everyone's sake!

Thanks for all you do, and here's hoping they'll be back soon.

Will you be able to make a post on Sunday morning as I'm sure not everyone will see this thread.
Like so many people LOL cats is my very favorite part of the week, and I am in awe of the work you put in week after week.

By the way, what brand is your computer?
SalmonChantedEvening
(31,947 posts)First, thanks to you, and everyone else, for the kind responses.
It's an Acer Aspire 1 laptop. 29G HD, 15G free brand new. Unable to handle the scope and size of Win10 upgrades.
NJCher
(35,423 posts)Are you serious, SCE? A brand new computer with 15 gigs free cannot handle this update?
If that's true, I am going to hide from this update!!!!
SalmonChantedEvening
(31,947 posts)A few rounds of regular updates took it down to around 11 or 12 by February. Then it downloaded the first big upgrade which left me with 3 or so. I uninstalled all the apps I could to get it up to almost 8. It could never install it, and it actually locked up after it ran out of memory trying. It's trying to download the second one now on top of it, and another round of app killings has me around 4.5 gigs. Unable to install the first, or download the second, it keeps trying. There was never enough space on the drive to accommodate all of this from the start. This would have probably been a great device for 7 or 6, but 10 is just too much for it. Why Acer sells it like this is beyond me.
kimbutgar
(20,875 posts)And probably more memory. I have an old Lenovo with 50gb hard drive that I have added memory to with Windows XP. Its such a workhorse. I use it for when I teach and have to hook up a video for the class to watch.
The newer computers are crap these days.

(1,958 posts)I will miss the LOLcats this coming Sunday, but I realize you have other important things to attend to.
Thank you for many enjoyable Sunday mornings, and I am looking forward to many more.

I'm sure there are plenty of us who know a bit about his story, why he felt driven to create those Sunday threads, and would be eager to help.
What say ya'all? Please do it.

Good luck getting it all fixed.

Chaos ensued.
You are our therapist.
Imagine what this place will be like without your soothing touch of humanity in the forms of teh kittens.
I expect that every thread on Monday will have multiple uses of Goebbels, Hitler and Cheney, and that will be in the threads between friends.
Many will be self medicating.
Many happy repairs.

I feel really glad to see all the posts offering to contribute to a gofundme campaign to buy you a new laptop. It's wonderful to see how much you and your Sunday contribution are loved. Yes, LOVED!!! I sincerely hope that someone who knows how to set that up will do it. 💓💓💓💓 Wishing you the very best of good luck.
