I almost don't know where to begin ...

I have a ridiculous amount of comments to catch up on. I'm not even sure some of my responses will be relevant at this point. Disco is still the wave of the future, right? I mean, I'm not so hopelessly out of date that my neon leg warmers are ready to make a comeback. Or am I ( Read more... )

best buy, home, books, family, vacation, cole, resolutions, computer!

Yeah, the tech would be right. Motherboards are expensive. That computer didn't happen to be a eMachines PC, did it?

I can kinda relate to the part about getting distracted.
I got a promotion at work where I am actually entering entry level management.
As soon as they got all the software setup I need for my new job on my work PC, another co-worker happened to get a virus on it and they have to erase it and start over from scratch.

It was a eMachine. How did you guess? We went with a Dell this time. It's pretty sweet.

I do a lot of PC support and spent 4 years doing extended warranty support for Circuit City.
The eMachines are notorious for having fried motherboards. We lost so much money on those things since extended warranty support is the one that has to do that kind of repair. The motherboards would also go on back order and it would force our hand into replacing the crapMachines.

eMachines totally suck.

The only people getting their money out of the extended warranty were the ones with eMachines. For all other computers, extended warranty is a waste of money.

Dell still has a very favorable reputation so it's a GOOD choice.

I kinda got that impression from the tech guys at Best Buy. When I mentioned that it was an eMachine, they made a face.

I'm glad Dell still has a good rep. I plan on making it last.

How is Cole liking his new school? And what? You don't answer your phone anymore?! :(
Mostly I just wanted to say hey - been thinking about you and your family. I hope H's surgery recovery is going well.

He likes it. He has a hard time making new friends so he's struggling in that respect, but school itself is going well. :)
