Out of the stone age!

"Tiny/Ugly" - my old laptop

David bought me a new (for me) laptop. It just goes to prove that if you complain enough (and I'm talking MAJOR complaining here) a male will try to make things right.

A good while back, he'd bought me this 20 lb titanium ThinkPad, a tiny yet quite unattractive thing. My biggest complaint was that there was no key pad for numbers. I'm an impatient person and hate numbers, knowing full well that numbers are of the devil. Every month when it came time for me to do the billing for teaching piano, foul language would spew forth as I hunted for those dastardly numbers. Okay, maybe not really foul, but enough yelling to make you think I was cussin' like a sailor.

It's taken him a longer time than usual to move everything over from tiny/ugly to new/lovely because of life here, but here it is nearly 1 am and I have it typing away! It's a refurbished HP with a big honkin' screen. No more tiny/ugly. I'm so willing to learn Vista just because it frees me from the titanium chupacabra.

The true test comes tomorrow when I do my monthly billing. It should go much easier because, look! There at the right of the keyboard is a numeric pad! Bunny is now back in the present time.

But, Sarah Panera! He won prizes for being so ugly. Not every dog has that ability/talent. My mother used to describe unattractive babies as "so ugly he/she is cute." I don't think that applies here. This pup is just so ugly he's ugly.

Lurv you!
