My techalogical cup has runneth over…
First there was the new preciousand now there is a new lapdog.
You may remember that the old lapdog, lovingly known as Dell, was a gift. I may or may not have told you that… but there you have it, it was a gift from a v. good friend.
It was/is still a v.good computer and has given me v. little trouble except for the usual wear and tear on the power cable (which has been replaced 2x, ka-ching) and today, a facelift for the hood (bonnet) due to butterfingery droppage in the dim, dark past which has just come back to haunt me (wherein cracks turned into Pieces Which Fall Off).
I’m posting this from the [now known as] Dear Old Dell (or DOD) with it’s new sleeker cleaner hood and while I’m v. grateful to the Captain for my v. pretty new lapdog [who shall be called Foogee] I shall be a bit sad to relinquish full reliance on DOD. For a start it’s MINE whereas Foogee belongs to the boss… and it’s blue whereas the newbie is shiny silver… which is a bit, well, ordinary…
Of course Foogee is wicked fast and the screen is nice and shiny, and it has a card reader in it so I can slot phone pix into it and it’s fast to turn on and off and it’s speakers are nicer than the Dell’s which were buggered within 6 months of getting it…
But… it, well lacks that sort of, sentimental connection… That sigh of hello, that someone loved you enough to give me to you greeting…
Bah… who am I kidding…
I’ve got a new lapdog… It’s ace!!!!
I got a new lapdog about 5 months ago and I hear ti it so much! Already though I have stained the inside casing with the acid from my wrists!
Dee, you have all the bestest toys.
But they are getting a lot cheaper. Remember when a reasonably good one cost $3-$4,000? They’re much more affordable now, and as I need a new monitor and an upgrade in memory I might as well get a laptop.
An ideal argument to put to the OH!
Ms Mac… You have acid wrists?? Sounds like you need a titanium Mac… *eyes light up*
Fi… a perfect argument… if you need any back up let me know, I’m full of great reasons for gear upgrades!
I’ll do my best to stifle my envy to tell you that I’m VERY happy for you. Especially since South African Scareways has been denying my claim for my darling, that was stolen from me on the day of my arrival back home (remember?). I’m going to keep on fighting them though…
Keep fighting them Red!!! Fight them on the beaches… fight them in the landing grounds, fight them in the fields and streets…never surrender!!!
