Thanks Mike - I found it. This monitor is so big I am rather overwhelmed and I freaked when I couldn't see it right away.

Nothing fancy. I was using a 5 year old emachine with 20GB hard drive and the thing was simply too full to run efficiently..it got so bad that I couldn't really run AOL and Firefox at the same time. I moved a lot of my images to another hard drive but still nearly fell asleep sometimes while waiting for pages to respond. If I checked email and then had to check out something in Firefox (usually an ASQ)the Firefox page simply would not respond for minutes (I played Freecell in the interim)- I finally had enough of it.
I got another emachine - with a 250 GB hard drive and 1024 RAM (twice what the old machine had). I also binged on a 19" flat screen monitor (the old 15" CRT one was fine but so bulky!). My scanning time has been cut in half (at least). My scanner is USB2 but old computer wasn't USB2 - I didn't think it would make much difference but it really does.
I am not sure I like the way my images look on the LCD monitor but I guess a sizable percentage of buyers also have LCD monitors and have been seeing them this way all along.
I got a cool wireless thingamajing that just plugs in a USB port (Best Buy wanted $150 to install and it is basically plug&play!)I did pay to have them "optimize" set up (take off the trial crap/spyware that is preinstalled). I was tempted to try a Dell but after reading about Cheryl's woes decided that I wouldn't go that route.
Anyway, I am thrilled now that everything is set up (except the printer haven't tried that yet).

Now I'm really jealous!! About a year ago I saw an emachine, printer, scanner and monitor at an estate sale for $200. It was like new - I couldn't see where anything had been download or installed other than what came with it and the estate sale people said that it had only been used for email. They didn't have it hooked up so I couldn't really check it out so I didn't get. But I went back that afternoon after thinking about it and of course it was gone. I had not heard of emachine before so I guess I did miss a really good buy.

emachines isn't a fancy brand - probably not very good for gaming etc but it works just fine for what we do. I used my old emachine at least 12 hours/day for 5 years without a bit of trouble (until I filled it up). Not much status in owning one but mine was a workhorse and much less touchy than the IBM it replaced.

Must have been the summer for "computer upgrades"...I also got a new "top of the line" with a zillion fancy thingies computer. Think I've about figured all of the basics out...also ditched the dial-up and am now high-speed which is FANTASTIC! Can't believe I waited so long but figure I'm all set for the next 10 years (that's how long I had my FIRST computer...with Windows 95). Congrats on the new 'puter!
