We finally unpacked our desktop computer and got it set back up. It's been out of commission for... nearly two years? When I fired it up, I had 27,000+ updates.  Anyway, I feel like I can type so much faster and more efficiently on the desktop compared to my laptop, and definitely compared to my smart phone. It's like a whole new freeeeeeeedommmm!!!!! Weeeee!!!! |

LOL, 27,000 You'd think that they'd just want you to do the most current ones. I hate updates. I know that they're a good thing...but they always seem to pick the most inopportune times to do them. Did your son ever get the Surface? The keyboard on it is easy to use. I have only used my laptop twice, I think, since I got the surface. The keyboard is not that much different than my laptop keyboard. (Which is pretty normal sized.) And, since it has touchscreen, I don't even need a mouse. It has the mouse thing that is on the keyboard, but I never use those mouses. I usually turn them off, but I haven't turned it off on my surface yet, b/c it's the only way (that I've found) that you can hover. I'm in love with this surface thing. I'm surprised it's finished with all of your gazillion updates, lol. |

BC, we didn't get the Surface. The college was suggesting the new Surface Pro, which last summer was running about $1200. That was too much money for us. We went instead with a Toshiba laptop.

Ahh, I see. They are too expensive. I wouldn't have this one if my husband hadn't insisted. I think that it will be worth it as long as it lasts for a while. (I've had my laptop for almost 7 years, and it looks brand new still (b/c the kids aren't allowed to use it, lol), but it just runs so slowly and inefficiently anymore.) Nice that you got your desktop all hooked back up and everything. I don't know how folks use their phones for doing internet stuff. I think that everything being in miniature would drive me crazy. |
