AHH, I can honestly say I am
computer deprived! It has been since Thursday afternoon since I had an OK
experience with a computer and at that the computer I use at work isn’t that
great.
I believe I told you Tuesday evening
I decided to sit down and do something that I enjoy and have not done for a
very long time. Scrap book. Instead of scrap booking with paper, due to room
and money, I have learned to use the wonderful world of the internet. I take
advantage of the opportunities I can get.
Tuesday evening was supposed
to be a date with my wonderful green laptop, Shutterfly, my sisters engagement
photos, and a free picture book from Shutterfly. However, It turned into an hour
of fighting with my computer to stay on long enough to load the pictures.
Since I have been having
issues with my computer, this issue, for over a year now I have learned to
walk away and continue with something else, allow the computer to completely
cool and return. 9 times out of 10 this works…..not this week……
Lets just put it this way, I did
not touch that computer for two days. Friday morning I was up bright and early.
Tutoring session at nine and I wanted to
hit the store before the tutoring session. I grabbed my coffee, turned on my
computer, a piece of paper and pen. My intention were good. The idea of making
my list and printing off coupons should have only taken 5-10 minutes. Wrong, I
was up at 6:30 and still cussing at my computer at 7:30 when I chose to get into
the shower. Figured a few minutes for the computer to cool down and I should be
able to use word right?? Maybe I can get organized for a bridle shower meeting
we were having on Saturday…..HAHAHAA… Long, long, long sigh
Well Friday, I broke down and
used my husbands computer and I currently am still using it. I have hopes every
morning that my computer will stay on longer than the windows chime and showing
my home screen.
Using my husbands computer is
driving me nuts! I can not personalize anything (it is just a thing we agreed
on when we were dating we would always have two computers, we both use them to
much to share.) , I can not find anything, I can not edit pictures, I can not
post anything to etsy because all my things are on MY computer……. My nerves
have been fried. However, I am glad that I
am able to use this computer to write a blog post. Even if my hand constantly gets in the way of the mouse pad and I find that I am adding words to paragraphs before.
So Ladies and Gents, I ask
you this, What laptop do you recommend?? I need a new one ASAP.

A year of putting up with your troubled computer is really long, Mrs. T. I hate it when a page slowly or when a video lags so much you don’t get to enjoy it anymore. With that, I’d say a new computer! I’m not sure of what to suggest, though, since I’m not aware of your usual computer activities. But I would advice that you get one with an optional touch screen feature, so you can go interactive. ;] -->Benita
