Computer woes

I need a new computer. Both mine are bugging out on me; my desktop is five years old and keeps crashing, and my laptop has had its keyboard changed once already and it's acting up again - refusing to let me type the letter 'i'.
I thought maybe I could write a new, avant-guarde book without the letter 'i', but that has been done before with the letter 'e', and I can't imagine a more dreadful way to spend my time. Maybe that's what the devil has in mind for me once I get to hell - "You will write a 100,000 word book without the letter 'i', now get to work!"
I suppose if I had eternity and was warm enough, I wouldn't mind so much. That's another problem - it's getting cold and our stone house does not keep warm very well. I go through winter wrapped in big sweaters and usually wear a scarf inside, lol. Well, what do you expect? I grew up in the Caribbean!
Anyhow, if anyone can tell me about Mac computers I'd like some info - is it compatible with my word docs, can I do my website, what software do I need to work?
Any help would be appreciated!!

My pain in the butt computer will go away - as soon as I get a new one, lol.
My poor laptop is another story. I love it - and am ready to pardon the lack of 'i', if I can fix the keyboard. (A keyboard costs about 25 $ on e-bay, so it's no big deal)
My cousin 'souped up' my laptôp so it has a ton of really cool programs on it. I want to keep it, so I hope the 'i' problem goes away soon.

Sorry to hear about your computer woes. The letter “I” thing sucks. If it was the Z or X or the semicolon (you know how EC hates those!) then you could deal with it.

I don’t know a darn thing about Macs, other than they’re supposed to be far superior to PCs. The $25 for a new keyboard sounds better than paying for a whole new setup. Hope it all works out!

Your blog is so nice..I still need help to get some links and pics on mine--my son works with computers all day but tonight may have some time for me..to spruce up my site.
