Although there is no reason to have a computer in my home, we now have...oh, I'm not even going to count. But I just added another one.
And though I hate big box stores, I bought it at a big box store. And it was painless. (Although they did try to sell me some odd setup service. For a laptop? People will pay to have someone come over and plug it in? My coffee maker requires more setup than this sucker.)
I thought I got a pretty nice deal on the computer I thought I was buying, and when I unpacked it, I realized it has a 9-cell battery, not the standard 6-cell I expected. (The technical specs in the advertisement merely said "Lithium ion.)
It is a Vista machine. I have heard horrible things about Vista, although I've had trouble getting specifics about how it's horrible. I suppose I may come to hate it eventually (and I can see why you'd hate it if you had a slow computer, because all those animations must be sucking up some serious resources), but after all of eight hours, it's not bothering me. Plus, I haven't yet found something so different from XP that I wasn't able to do what I needed to do on the first try.
I also bought a 160-gigabyte external hard drive that's about the size of my hand. Perhaps it's because I work in a non-technical field, but when I think back to the tape drives we used when I was a kid (you thought I was going to say punch cards, didn't you? I'm not quite that old...but I do remember recycling punch cards as craft projects in girl scouts), a 160-gigabyte hard drive I can hold in my hand is like magic.
It wasn't so magical when the clerk took my cute little hard drive out of its plastic shoplift-proof case and let it fall with a thud eight inches down to the counter. I cringed. It was the last one in stock, so I took it anyway. It's nice to know that apparently you can throw it around without ill effect (maybe it is magic, after all), although I do intend to treat it a bit more gently.
And lastly, after years of advertising that suggested the contrary, credit card companies are telling me that I can't be fulfilled by the acquisition of material possessions...yet I am awfully happy right now.
