Poor little laptop updated

March13

I can now access my primary email but I don’t have my address book so I can’t email anyone – I can only reply.  I don’t even know if I can get into my blog feed reader yet…but I am trying to make myself at home on Steve’s big old clunky (but functioning and probably scarily powerful) desktop.

The good news in all of this is that when Steve bought the laptop (it was a first anniversary gift…may not sound romantic but when it is from a computer geek it doesn’t get any sweeter), he purchased the extended warranty.  So best case scenario is they fix my computer for free.  Worst case is they lose it or can’t fix it and I get credit toward a new one.  It is just painful in the interim having to share.  But I don’t imagine most families have a computer for every adult in the house so I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and deal.

Does anyone else find it a little ironic that the Geek Squad guy at the store couldn’t figure out how to change our phone number in the system and had to wait for another guy to show him how tomorrow?  Anyone want to take bets on whether or not I might have poked fun at him for that?

    You wouldn’t do that, now would you?? That is pretty ironic. I got a good chuckle out of that one.

    I am kind of embarassed to say that we have three in this house. We held onto our old clunker, we have a fairly new desktop, and just purchased a laptop (FOR ME, though my kids think it is for THEM!!). But, it is good. The girls can be on one each, and one for Mom and Dad–guess it’s us who have to duke it out.

    So, you hoping they can fix this one, or a new one?? That’s a tough one.

    Ohhhhhhhhh I’m sure you poked fun at him and if you didn’t… you should have! LOL!

    Yeah… we’re computer nerds in this house too! One for every person that lives in the house (4)… including my 9 month old… haha!

    No way would we survive without a computer for both of us.

    What? You made fun of the computer geek???? yeah, I would have too.
