Remember when I got my new lappy? I was so happy, I took everyone with me to Oklahoma, the grand canyon, Roswell. It was so much fun. But ever since then, I have had small irritating problems with my lappy. The sound kept going out on me. I would call and get it fixed, it would stay fixed for a while, the one day, like yesterday, it would go out again. Like yesterday, i called Costco Concierge Service, which is free by the way when you purchase from Costco. But yesterday was different. Oh yes, it was very different. When i told the guy I had had this problem before, he said he would have to hook me up with the guys at Compaq to fix this problem for good. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE NOT THAT! YES HE DID. OK back to regular letters, no more yelling. He hooked me up to some guy reading out of a book from India, Named Harry. yeah RIGHT. The only guy in India named Harry was born here to a mom named Jane and a dad named George.
So after waiting about ten minutes for Harry to get on the line, he finally comes on and starts doing his talk down to me thing. Oh, if I could have reached through the phone to his neck. GRRRRRRR. This was before 12 by the way. so the guy tells me I have to do a total restart thing on my lappy, which means i am gonna loose all my stuff on my lappy. I have tried in the past to burn my info to a disk from this lappy, but it didn't work. I have a card reader that I don't know how to use, so that is of no use to me. OK, so all my info I had on my lappy, is gone in the airwaves. Crap. Oh well, it wasn't really important stuff. OK, so we start the total restart thing and halfway through, Harry tells me i need to purchase a tool to keep my lappy from crashing in the future! What the F! And it was 49.00. so i said no, I will return my lappy when this is finished. If it isn't safe, or the same condition i bought it, i don't want it. this guy is still a total jerk. I'm sure he still is since yesterday.
so back to Costco i go, with my lappy all packed up in its original box. they took it back at no charge or problem. When i looked behind the counter, there stood another box of a lappy just like mine that had been returned that day, before me. But I got another lappy, upgraded of course. this one has a built in Cam, laser mouse, and a card i plug into the side i think to watch TV on. I don't know how to use this, so i will have to open the book that comes with this lappy. I am a Little happier now. Not as frustrated as i was. I want to cam with someone just to see how this cam works. But no strangers, no more of that. to them, I still do not have a cam. pervs.
OK, today Alex goes home. We still have to get him up and packed. We bought him some resupplies, as we usually do, and now it has to fit back in his two suitcases. If it doesn't , i will ship it to him. I am off to get myself ready to say good by to my baby one more time.
see ya ll later, and have a great day.
