Over the weekend, I decided to look for a laptop. I didn't know what I was getting myself in for. There are all sorts of them. Notebooks and tablets to name a few. I went to our local computer nerdy store. The one that has everything any puter savvy person would want. I, not being that person, usually walk around following my husband and after a while I venture over to the music or video section.
This time I was actually looking at the pc’s myself. Hubby was telling me what things meant. Like, screen size, memory, if it had bgn which is it’s wireless option, what kind of plug ins it had, which was news to me. I thought it just plugged in. Silly me. Oh, the list just went on and on.
The prices were out there too. There was the below $600, below $1000 and higher groups and the best one in each of those categories. I ended up walking out of the store with nothing but a cup of coffee for my scrambled brain.
Went home and started looking up laptops on line with the help of my supervisor. I read reviews. My husband used to get Consumer Reports so I tried to look them up but you have to pay to get in. Who does that anymore? At the end of the evening, I’d given up.
All I wanted it for was to be able to go outside on a nice day with my dogs. I wanted to sit and type out a few thoughts and maybe write that book I’ve always said I would start. Will I ever get a puter of my own? And, if I do, will I get the write one? ... and I meant to write it that way.
I think I’ll just pet my cats and take my dogs outside without the help of puters … I’m not a writer anyway … just a want to be one …
Oh and Jasmine was helping me look last night …. she's know as The Supervisor

I'm not particularly tech savvy either. I can't process it all. I have a Dell at work and an HP notebook at home (from Walmart). I like both. The notebook was inexpensive and it is portable.
I was looking at HP's and Toshiba. I wanted to stay in the below $600 range but there's battery life and memory and whether it can watch a movie while on a plane ride...all things I had no idea I needed to take into consideration. Thus, I am taking a break from looking .. and well, Jasmine got tired of helping me look on line LOL
Hi JC,
I followed you from a comment you left on Roses & Lilacs. Very interesting blog you have here and I read all your posts from the begining. Good thing you haven't been blogging for years because that would have taken a heck of a long time:)) I loved the perseverence you showed when it came to the lilac plants since they are one of my favorites too.
Love all the pictures of your pets.
Hello JC. I wanted to stop by and visit and thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. We have a lot in common, cats, dogs, lilacs, gardening and I want to write a book too. Easy to say, right, but harder to sit down and begin.
I'll add your name to my blogroll so I will know when you publish a new post. I hope you will stop back and visit and share some thoughts with me.
Oh BTW, good luck on finding a new computer. Frustrating. It seems the only way to learn about them is to waste money on one that isn't quite right;)
