Sweet Little Machine

I have a brand new laptop - it's a sweet little machine that I'm just beginning to get acquainted with - I don't know it's idiosyncracies like I did my old laptop. You know the type of thing - if it wasn't plugged in and you were working off the battery, you could practically time it when it would shut down on you - you could find the power button in the dark if you decided to write in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep and didn't want anyone barging in on a night run to the bathroom - hey, you still up? Whatcha doin'?
I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm going to become very attached to this computer - more so than any other. I'm going to tell you straight out that I'm not at all sure how I feel about Windows Vista, which is what was loaded on this but I think it's a matter of getting used to everything. I know I'll be using it a lot this fall for school and may even take it with me to classes. Not sure yet.

I've already caught Roomie in here more than once, "adjusting" things on the computer - more like playing with the computer. I know he's plotting to take it with us in July to San Diego for the family reunion.
Getting acquainted with my new laptop is currently my excuse for not neatening up my room and paying attention to my finances or ironing my clothes for work tomorrow morning. It's a pleasurable way to procrastinate on my chores.



Back to the chores....
