LAPTOP!

The past few years I've been using a laptop that I got for free from my dad. It was a "hand me down" that was mostly in the scrap pile for parts. He picked up what he needed (with permission) and built it up for me. I was very grateful. It was a little slow and out of date, but it worked.

This last semester it decided that it was on it's last leg. It didn't function on the internet except for the simplest functions. Technology has made bounds and leaps since my laptop was born and it can't keep up. I had countless papers corrupted by the poor dear. I almost threw the thing out the window! So many stressful nights over a paper that was "b-s"ing and couldn't remember all the details I had already put into it. UGH!!! It got the the point that it would take ten minutes for it to simply load.

I was done. I got a new one today, and boy was I impatient. I could've found better deals online, but I desperately WANTED it today. I bought one. It's beautiful with a large colorful screen, great hardware, beautiful sound, works incredibly fast, among other things. Over Thanksgiving break I downloaded 6GB of music that I had saved to my external hard drive to my old laptop, yeah...two and a half hours later of my life (and disappeared one month later). Today I put over 10GB of music on my new laptop...Yeah...2 to 5 min. I love this beautiful piece of technology.

*Sigh*
