Our New Computer
This is our new laptop computer. It’s an Acer Extensa 4420. AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-core processor (1.8 GHz, 2 X 256 KB L2 cache), 14.1″ LCD screen, 2 GB DDR2 memory, 160 GB hard drive, read/write DVD, built-in WLAN. We got it at Best Buy – very inexpensive.
The question of why we needed a new laptop has the same answer as to why I haven’t been blogging much lately. And the answer gave a good laugh to the young lady at Best Buy, who at first thought I was joking.
It has to do with the bit of evil in the picture just to the left. That is Kokie, one of our three cats. A couple of weeks ago, after using the computer in bed, I put the computer down on the floor and went to sleep. When I woke up, I discovered a laptop computer covered in urine. Since it was plugged in, the inner pieces shorted out and everything melted. Unfortunately, the cat was not electrocuted.
You might wonder how I know it is Kokie that did this evil deed. Let’s just say I have my informants and leave it at that.

Something tells me that cat would have a good home if she did that here! LOL

We have an evil cat who occasionally pees on our bed, too. Evil, evil cat. I wish they’d keep their issues to themselves.
Happy Vista-ing!

So far Vista doesn’t seem radically different than XP. Sort of like XP with a facelift.
