Up a little on the late side. We stayed up last night hooked on the Olympics. We arrived at the mall at 10:00 and found out they don't open until 11:00. We found a Dunkin Donuts had a coffee and donut to bide our time. We discussed what we should do and figure out that we both have cell phones with us, Nancy goes to Best Buy, Tom heads to Circuit City.
The line for Best Buy is really long and Nancy thinks oh, no we won't get the computer. Tom calls so we know the phones work inside the building. Nancy finds a clerk and yes they have the Dell laptop, just none of them out on display. Tom calls from Circuit City asking what the Dell has on it vs. what he is finding at Circuit City. When Tom finds out that the Dell has Intel whereas the ones comparable priced at Circuit City are AMD he tells Nancy get the Dell.
Tom leaves C.C. And heads up to Best Buy arriving before Nancy is all written up. “How much time for your Geeks to set up everything for us? About 3 hours. Forget it, I can do it myself at home. So, off we go with a new laptop. We are back up and running with a great new computer an hour later, including travel time.
After getting the laptop set up we find we did not lose any of our photos as we had backed them up on the portable hard drive. Great, what a relief!!
Nancy, now you better get over here and retype your blog that got blown away when the computer went kaput. SO, Here we are!!
