(singing) I… got a… new laptop… yea!\u00a0 My old lap was slowly dying.\u00a0 It was begging me to put it out of its misery.\u00a0 It just couldn’t seem to start… it would try and try and maybe work or maybe not.\u00a0 It got to the point I was just leaving it on in hopes it would stay up.\u00a0 But that wasn’t going to work on a battery on a long day flight!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So off to Costco I went!\u00a0 Michael (my tech cub) assured me it was a perfectly fine place to by a laptop.\u00a0 And I snagged a nicely built, good looking black male to help me understand the differences between the 3 HP’s Costco sells.\u00a0 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!\u00a0 Yes,\u00a0 I’m bad… I’m very bad!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway… back to the purchase.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 You heard me people!\u00a0 Only $699 and I loooooove it!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I am the bomb!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0My mother grumbles… well as long as its not a touch screen.\u00a0 Last Xmas she needed a new desktop and we got a very nice, top of the line, all in one touch screen one.\u00a0 I work on it almost more than she does so I was thrilled with it.\u00a0 The screen is huge and flat and there’s no separate console.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

But one night my mother set something up for printing on it and went to bed.\u00a0 When she got up her print job was completely messed up and there was chaos on her screen.\u00a0 Apparently a little tiny moth found the light from her screen very sexy.\u00a0 It danced its way all over it!\u00a0 Stuff was moved everywhere!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I suppose we’re lucky the Internet wasn’t up.\u00a0 Lord knows what it would have purchased on eBay.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
