I like this laptop that I stole from work for the week. Unfortunately my puter bein' fixed lasted all of a few hours.
I was only able to get the durn thing running by doing a reinstall of Windows - unfortunately in the process of the install, the puter decided to format my original boot drive (along with all my personal, financial, business, etc. info) prior to installing Windows on a different drive. Hmmm...
Hopefully DJMikeD is even now finishing up the "recovery" process. If it even works... talk about OUCH if it doesn't. What about my backup? Hmmm.... well, it (my HUGE external HDD) happens to be the temporary brain of my dad's puter for the moment until he can resurrect his own machine or get a new one (or let me build him a new one). So much for data security. And thank goodness for friends and family.
I saw this great laptop carry bag for sale (49% off!!)... unfortunately I don't own a laptop. My wife says, "Start small and get the bag first!" Not that I am one to turn down a chance to spend money on myself, but I told her that this idea was sorta like buying the tires for your Ferrari before you buy the car: not as fulfilling as you'd imagined it would be, but GOSH don't they look nice?!
Zach has been Mr. Over the Hedge and he and I both belly-laugh at Hammy - I could hardly breathe and I'm not sure if Zach was laughing more at me or the movie. Cole is Mr. Personality and although he hasn't said a distinct word he is quite the conversationist.
We have translated Cole-speak to figure out words like "yes" and "bye-bye" and "Dad"... hopefully I can get this all on video before it's gone forever.
Well, on to work on my 100 things list for my other blog and write an article for my sports blog in reference to the latest in March Madness.
