On Monday when I got home from work, this was awaiting me. Isn't my husband sweet? I had no idea that he'd bought me a new laptop! My old one is not dead, as my friend Marci suggested, but it definitely had some health problems resulting from old age. It was extremely slow. If I ever clicked "shut down," it would mean that the next time I turned the computer on I'd have to wait at least 10 minutes before it'd be ready for typing and surfing action. The battery lasted maybe 4 minutes, which was a problem since the power cord was extremely sensitive and would not connect (even though plugged in) if it was bumped or placed at an odd angle. This was the computer that got me through 2 of my 3 years overseas and my first 3 years of grad school. So, as sad as I am to see it go, my new, fast, 15.4" screen espresso brown Dell Inspiron 1525 will definitely make the grade. I think I'm in love. The only downside? I'm too busy to play with it!
Wow! What fun to get a new computer! That is awesome. Someday I will get a new too I hope. So that we can have two in the house. That we both can be on the computer if we want, instead of waiting our turn.
ReplyDeleteYay! Sounds like you needed it.
ReplyDeleteAnd just so you know, I saved 2 big freezer zipper bags yesterday that I would have thrown away before I read your post. :)
