(singing) I… got a… new laptop… yea! My old lap was slowly dying. It was begging me to put it out of its misery. It just couldn’t seem to start… it would try and try and maybe work or maybe not. It got to the point I was just leaving it on in hopes it would stay up. But that wasn’t going to work on a battery on a long day flight!
So off to Costco I went! Michael (my tech cub) assured me it was a perfectly fine place to by a laptop. And I snagged a nicely built, good looking black male to help me understand the differences between the 3 HP’s Costco sells. He apologized for sweating (he’d just finished unloading boxes in the warehouse) and I assured him with a hand on his (oh so firm) bicep that I quite understood! Yes, I’m bad… I’m very bad!
Anyway… back to the purchase. I got a new, 4 lbs lighter, only slightly smaller and still includes a 10-key pad…a must for my work…laptop for only $699.00. You heard me people! Only $699 and I loooooove it! And I’m proud to say I did all the data transfer myself with only one phone call to Michael to make sure I’d done it correctly. I am the bomb!
My mother grumbles… well as long as its not a touch screen. Last Xmas she needed a new desktop and we got a very nice, top of the line, all in one touch screen one. I work on it almost more than she does so I was thrilled with it. The screen is huge and flat and there’s no separate console.
But one night my mother set something up for printing on it and went to bed. When she got up her print job was completely messed up and there was chaos on her screen. Apparently a little tiny moth found the light from her screen very sexy. It danced its way all over it! Stuff was moved everywhere!
I suppose we’re lucky the Internet wasn’t up. Lord knows what it would have purchased on eBay.
