The awful new laptop lasted all of 48 hours.
By Saturday evening, even my very patient, play by the rules, no drastic steps, etc. husband had had enough.
"It's crap - lets take it back tomorrow."
So back to Best Buy we went, and the Geek Squad - who has to check out returned computers to make sure that they haven't been trashed before they are accepted for return - confirmed what we knew: the hardware and the software were bad.
"Congratulations!" said our techie "You guys won the bad product tri-fecta. Actually, that's a little Geek Squad humor." According to him, one in every 1,500 computers have it all going on like ours.
From "Best Buy" we hiked over to the Apple Store, where we were introduced to Abby, and Abby lead us to the machine that we would buy.
After an hour of question and answer, our heads hurt, our wallets were lighter, but we were excited about the purchase.
The joy has returned over a new computer!
mazel tov!

ReplyDeleteThank you dearest!
DeleteHave you searched for porn yet?
ReplyDeleteOh...silly question.
No, no porn. Not until we've mastered the Apple.
DeleteI am anxious to hear about your experience learning to use the Mac. I have toyed with the idea of leaving behind the PC World but am concerned about my frustration level learning to operate in a Mac environment. Please keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteYou know, somethings are easier, some are different, and some are frustrating because we haven't been able to figure them out, but overall, nothing but high praise. And getting on the Internet was so damn easy, just like my iPhone and the iPad.
DeleteWe did install Windows 7 on the machine, so if the world comes crashing down around me, at nothing else, something will be familiar.
Welcome to the sixties!, Cookie!!
ReplyDeleteI just know you will love it!
This November, you'll be welcoming to my fifties.
DeleteIt's a wonderful feeling. I keep being tempted by apple devices, but I have to hold off a bit longer.
