It's Monday - hello from my new computer!


Greetings from my new laptop! I will now pass on some knowledge to you: if your "u" key suddenly stops working, beware. The "m" is not far behind. Then you will be unable to connect to the internet. And then...the end is not far away. So long, Lenovo! You were a good and valiant computer. Hello, Toshiba. 

I went with David on his class field trip to the local farm. Some lessons that we learned - turkeys are very smelly, kids love hayrides, and there is nothing cuter than five year olds singing while holding pumpkins.

    1. I hope your computer fares better than mine! Fortunately the Milk is a lot of fun. I can neither confirm nor deny that David read it on his own and then I borrowed it so I could read it too....

  2. I've read only one Oates and was not impressed with that one. Awaiting your reviews on this one.

    1. I liked it. It seems to me (from the one book) that she writes the sort of books you really have to commit to being involved with.

  4. New laptops are always exciting! Hope you are getting the hang of yours - I always find they all have their own nuances and tricks to use.

    Have a great week!

    1. It's interesting. So far, it feels really distant to me. I don't know why we are hearing this story yet...

  6. Omg We Were the Mulvaney's depressed the heck out of me!!! I can read JCO but I have to have spaces between the books. They are good but intense!

    The Mad Scientist's Daughter sounds really good!!

    1. They are very intense! I can't imagine what kind of emotional investment she puts into those stories.

      So far The Pure Gold Baby is interesting, but I don't love it. I am interested to see what happens in the rest of the book.

  10. The most important component is Quality Inkjet Refills because even if you have empty cartridges at least you can give them a new lease of life by refilling inkjet cartridges.

  13. Things i have seen in terms of computer memory is the fact there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and many others, that must match the features of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is fairly current while there are no operating-system issues, changing the memory literally takes under sixty minutes. It’s one of several easiest personal computer upgrade techniques one can picture. Thanks for giving your ideas. cheapsoft4you.com
