Grr
So, after what I can only call excessive drama, I am back online with a new Sony Vaio, with all the fun of reauthorizing Office 2010, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling Yahoo, and so on (yes, yes, folks, this time I will remember AIM....)
I couldn't help remembering when I was a little girl and I could just pull my brand new circus train right out of the box and begin playing with it right under the interested eyes of a small brother and a big dog* without having to do anything else. Of course, the small brother in question began to eat the little animals on the circus train, which created its own drama, and so far, aside from a small incident where the little one sat on the wireless router just as the computer was attempting to confirm that yes, yes, I did in fact purchase a copy of Microsoft Office 2010 and am not just an evil, evil person attempting to steal products, but rather a person trying to add words to a few novels that currently kinda need time and attention, this new computer has created considerably less drama.
So far. I'm feeling a bit pessimistic with computers these days.
* Those of you who can remember or who have seen pictures of this particular dog, Ami, will no doubt point out that Ami was not, in actual fact, a big dog, but rather a little basenji who was particularly skilled at curling up near radiators, but I will just point out that I was a small child, so Ami was big to ME.
