Hey. I'm typing this from our NEW LAPTOP COMPUTER!!! Ain't i cool? It's great - reasonably fast, has a pretty, widescreen screen, and a keyboard that is pretty nict to type on. Plus, there's a WiFi receiver, and it was absurdly cheap.However, since it was built by not-me, it's got tons of crap on it that we will never use. Of the "40 gigabyte" hard drive, there's 21 gigs free, with the rest taken up by preloaded applications, software, and a whole ten gig partition containing the files needed to "restore" the computer to its original state. Karen was the one who sat through all the introduction stuff, like "Do you want to setup your internet connection through HP's Award Winning internet service provider right now?" Click no... "Are not you sure you don't want to stop continuing?" Uh... ???
So i'm gonna totally get this computer with a nice, fresh, install of XP on here. It'll be great. And with all things electronic or mechanical, i'll enjoy figuring it out. :)
One of the kids at work wanted to make a video, so we did this. Kind of silly. He totally directed the whole thing himself, pretty much.
Heh - i got a call from the girls unit upstairs, where i used to work (sniff) and they said "Yeah, there's four kids and two staff locked in our Rec Room, can you come help?" I went up there and sure enough, the doorknob was completely not moving the latch thing, so i fiddled about until i could get one of the girls to disassemble the knob from the inside. Then i extracted it and we got the latch pulled manually. Jennifer, one of my very good friend staff persons, was pretty much hilarious. "GET ME OUT OF HERE JUANITO!!!" I don't blame her, since lots of people i know get a little freaked out when they're behind doors they can't open. Plus there were kids in there who can and have gone a little psycho from time to time. I was like "Heh - it's good to know you're calm under pressure, Jennifer." "SHUT UP AND BREAK THE DOOR DOWN, JUANITO!!!" Hehehe.
You have a picture of your awsome laptop? I’d like to see how cool it looks, you know?
