Laptop City Baby

At last …

I now own a laptop computer.

I have been so spoiled.

My husband has always set up our home systems.

Being a computer nerd and all.

This time I was going to set it up myself.

I started off having trouble just opening the box.

Too much tape.

Next all the cardboard and plastic.

Finding the release hatch wasn't easy.

I couldn’t get the thing open for my life.

Hubby had to help.

I thought, well this is going well.

Once I did that, I found the instructions that of course told me

where the release hatch was located.

Hubby tried to have me figure out how to get the laptop connected to our internet.

I was taking way too long to figure that one out

so he finally did that for me.

Thank You Very Much.

I was like, What ... this will take forever to set up.

Novice World ...

Next, was figuring out how to install the 60 day free office trial.

I clicked the wrong one and got a message that basically said,

No, you silly first time laptop user … try again. Dah Ville

We got one already installed into the puter but didn't know it.

Thus, the 1st key code we got wouldn't work.

Though I tried for 10 minutes before we noticed the button.

I was too busy opening the cardboard to notice the thingy on the side of the screen.

After clicking the correct button, I got my 2nd key code and wa la …

I was let into the wonders of office.

That only took an hour.

Anyway, a few words later we, yes, by then he was helping me,

finally found what we were supposed to do.

When office was set up, I found my lovely word program which I am using now.

I think I will like this.

Being mobile.

I’m at the kitchen table and not in the den.

That’s a first.

The keyboard is a bit smaller than what I am used to but other than that I think I’m in beginner laptop heaven.

I know that most people have laptops.

Got them a long time ago.

I might be old but I’ve finally got my own.

I went from mowing the lawn with my dogs to the electronic gadgets store.

Not bad for a Sunday afternoon.

And, yes, this also brings me peace.

Well, after figuring out all the gadgets…
