oh, how desperate of you, Jason

You don’t have to take him with you….

Next time write it on a slip of paper.

I recently ordered the components for a new computer. Everything has arrived promptly except the case which was sent to the wrong city…at the other end of the state.

I take quantum leaps in computers. I hold onto the old ones until they get too obsolete, then I buy a new “mainstream” one. When it comes to computers, I am not on the “bleeding edge.” Since I am not a gamer or bitcoin miner, I don’t have to be.

I have an ancient, but seldom-used laptop. It is now a Linux machine. For browsing the web, sending emails and even word processing, it works just fine.

Whatever you do, don’t buy an iFruit. Those things have no external drive.

It’s best for her to take him. He knows computers; most likely she doesn’t and would be at the mercy of the salespeople. If she came home with the wrong one, she would never hear the end of it.

How did Jason develop super hearing?

Just say “NO” Andi.

I could tell you about the time I went computer shopping with my then very pregnant wife.

No win situation. If she just says “shopping”, then it’s Paige who starts screaming “WAIT! WAIT! LET ME COME WITH YOU!”

The minute you buy it’s already obsolete

Just. Say. No.
