Desktop Transfer

Kit Kat's desktop computer is dead. She tried to revive it. But it keeps going down. Now she "borrows" Momoko's computers. She sometimes uses Momoko's desktop. However she tries to get in on Momoko's laptop as well.

When I bought my laptop, I offered to let Kit Kat use my desktop. She declined the offer. I think she planned to save up and buy a laptop for herself. However the savings are low.

Today Momoko told me to move my desktop computer into Kit Kat's room. Kit Kat wanted to keep her monitor. I told her she could keep almost everything, except for the box that is my PC. I got Microsoft Office on there. And it is set up to use our wireless network and printers in the house.

Normally I would have tossed Kit Kat's old PC. However Little Kat wants to open it up and experiment with it. Now that's a young computer engineer if I ever saw one.

First in Line

Yesterday we got the ads for the Sunday paper a day early. Best Buy had a laptop on sale for $279. There had to be a catch. I asked a couple people to look at the ad. The only sneaky thing was that it seemed associated with a more expensive package.

So I went down to Best Buy. I asked whether I could just buy the laptop. The sales guy said yes. I asked whether the laptop had wireless and a CD-ROM. He said yes too. They were first available at 11:00am on Sunday. I went to sleep thinking I would get up early and get in line before the store opened.

This morning Momoko got up before me. She came along to Best Buy with me. There were a lot of people in the parking lot. But there was only one dude in front of the store. I took Momoko, and we started the line right in front of the entry doors at 10:50am. I was the first dude into the store when the store opened. I made a bee line to the computer section.

The sales guy tried to sell me some extended warranty. I was not having it. It worked. I bought a laptop for $279 plus tax. Yee haw. I am using the laptop to compose this blog right now. Still need to install a lot of software and transfer over my files and settings. But I am on my way. My computer at home is the oldest of all that we own. It is working but who knoes for how long. I am a happy laptop user now.
