It was a bad RAM that was causing the beeping. There was a sale on a Circuit City, and they were out of the one I needed. It will be in tomorrow, and I'll be back in business!
I can hardly wait. Hopefully, I can start doing some work at home now. I type 97 words a minute and have picked up Quickbooks at work when our accountant decided to quit a year ago.
NOT a floosie: lol, I type 9 or 7 words a minute. ;) lol Actually I think I type about 50 but under pressure it drops. I may go as fast as 60 but it's never sustained very long. I should test it. If I'm typing something that is already written, I think I can do about 45 - 50 with few errors. But 97? That's like super speed! I can't even think that fast.
My daughter just gave me an old computer from work. It's about 5 years old. I don't think I can use it but I'm gonna have something to hack around with and see what kind of trouble I can cause. I'm going to see if I can get it set up for a gaming computer but I think I need XP at least and it may only be able to handle 98SE ;)
NOT a floosie: At least you know which questions to ask :) I'm still learning but am mostly self taught (trial and error). You can find any answer to any question if you word it right. Google is great that way. I learned to air brush photos on the internet and my first one turned out great! lol. People asked where I learned how to do that. Problem is, I can't do it again without the directions. And from a professional's perspective, my work was not that good. But you'd have to know what to look for in order to understand the places I mess up. Mostly it looked pretty good ;)
