My new toy
Aug 17th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
It’s true, I’m secretly a technology geek at heart. I must have all the latest gadgets, and drool over the ones I can’t afford. My latest and greatest acquisition is a laptop computer complete with wireless network, as previously threatened. It even has that long-desired DVD burner so I can make DVDs from our digital video (assuming I could ever find the time for such a task). Hooray for me! Oh wait, I’m the poor sap who has to pay for it. Well, that’s okay. Give me more gadgets that are supposed to make my life easier but take up ever-increasing amounts of my time, I always say.
Next up on my wish list? A cell phone that syncs with Microsoft Outlook so I can shed the PDA. That one will have to wait, though, since I’ve way exceeded the non-existent technology budget for this year. In the meantime, a girl can dream, can’t she?
One leads to another …. oh, do I know! Congratulations on the new laptop.
I’m here via Mike.You sound so much like my hubby and kids. They are REALLY into every gadget that comes along or is about to come along.I just try and keep up with them.I’m happy as can be with my moron level of knowledge in all things tech, and my family gets a good laugh at my expense.
Congrats on the laptop. I dream of the day.. I’ll be able to surf and
watch TV and take it to the bathroom… oh wait, TMI, sorry. :)Mike asked us to stop by. Glad he did. Great place you got here.
Something has to give. You claim “the best husband ever.” On Aug. 16,
http://yukonmom.blogspot.com/ claimed to have “the best husband in the
world.”Fight?(I came over to visit from Mike Miller’s place.)
Just had a hard drive crash! What a good reason to buy a new computer,
which I did. Funny thing. It’s 3 time the computer of the old one at
less of a price!Hope you enjoy your new “toys.”
I know you are enjoying that laptop, I got one this year and I take it with me wherever I go!! What fun!!
