And I Repeat...I am not a Tech Head...

My wife decided to purchase a new lap top.  That way she could check her E-Mail while semi-watching TV. ( Of course that excuse didn't work for me)  Anyway, I am the one who gets to set it all up. (She knows even less than I do).   This story came to mind while I was trying to get some of the #$%#^@ progams to work...

Our new office computer system was down as much as it was up.  My co-worker decided to stay late and get caught up on some of the work that didn't get done.  On her way home she was stopped for speeding...

This is the perfect end to a rotten day.  Our computers were up and then down, up and then down...I stay late and now this!

The Officer was uneffected by my Co-workers rant and went back to his car to write the ticket.   What seamed like an eternity, the officer finally returned with her liscence and registration.  He handed them to her, smiled and said..."Our computer is down!"

Keeping up with all that is available to us is is annoying! We want to get a little netbook next to take in the car to search MLS and pull email...they look tempting at around $325...but I want someone to set it up and take care of all our tech needs...for free of course.

Bill, What would happen if we had a major power outage.  This country and the entire world would be lost.
