On Laptops,Butterflies & Change...

--I'm back typing away on a "new" laptop...

Unfortunately I'm still working on my attitude...

18 days & it is still not properly adjusted!

{yeah--I'm thinking I need to be a little more patient with a&t

the next time their attitude change isn't immediate!:)}

Anyhow ...I don't like change.

{Have I ever mentioned that before?}

It is one of my many shortcomings...

You'd think with 30 yrs. experience

I'd be fairly used to it...

I mean....Life is change!

{put the last 2 bold face statements together

& well it makes for a rather difficult journey!}

Thankfully the Lord is patient & still extends His

grace to this unworthy servant!}

Anyhow...back to my confession.

I had to get a new laptop

{due to lightening toasting all of our computers,fax mach.,router & phones}

{as a side note--the phone co. sells surge protectors for phone lines..& it is a rather good investment!}

& well Dell {thats where I am placing the blame!:)}

does not make a laptop exactly like the one I had anymore...

frankly they don't even make one remotely even close to my

beloved {I am on the verge of a

full blown mental breakdown

if you can't tell!}.

Do they even think about the people out there with

that have serious attachment issues...

I mean c'mon...I can't re-learn another operating system

{it was nearly impossible the first time & now..I've got

even less time, energy & uninterrupted moments!}

I Don't Like Change!

{I had to insert a picture here to keep you alert-- 1 of the ultimate authority on change!-not paper of course!:)}

& dont even get me started on the horrid colors.. {grantedIf you order @Dell.com there is a better selection but..a several wk. wait!}

I mean really...{here is the real confession part!:)} The color issue is what I base 99.9% of my descision on...Yep you heard me right...{I am really not that shallow!} Actually I am...

Anyhow we went to exchange the laptop that my dear husband purchased a wk. ago for me{I didn't like the color & it was a Gateway...need I say more?} & we left the store 1 hr. later with the very same laptop that I wanted to return!ugh!

I Don't Like Change!

Hello Dell are you listening to me??

I don't like the shiny look of all the new models {think fingerprints} or the boingy {for lack of better word!} keys...

& since I am really bearing my soul here & confessing...I don't even like the muttering I've been hearing as E. sets it all up...{not for sure if Dell's to blame on this but hey I'm on a roll here!} It really stresses me out to hear phrases like this, directed @ my computer--"aww! C'mon You've got to be kidding me! Now why won't this work? Well -I guess I can't do this tonite I will have to do this later!" {the last one was repeated several times--for all I know I may not have any programs installed!}{& all this coming from a pretty tech savvy guy!}

Anyhow I Don't Like Change!

But as I sit here typing away on my new {gateway}laptop,I know that eventually {hopefully!} I will adapt & in a year from now I will vehemently declare that I love my computer & I can't imagine ever owning another...{or at least this is what I am telling myself!}

& maybe by then Dell will realize that they need to consider offering laptop cloning...

Thank you for letting me vent & confess...

As for future post...I will try to keep my irrational {freaky} side from taking over...

p.s. I am {was} a devoted Dell fan if you can't tell...primarily because that is the only kind of laptop I've ever owned & well, as I mentioned earlier...
