This is a eulogy to my desktop PC, which died earlier today.

It's terrible timing with us about to pay for our reception site, pay the last half of our wedding package, and the fact that we are buying a couch (all we have is a love seat and two chairs--it's about time we bought a couch for additional seating). It's good timing in the fact that we are on the verge of buying Jacelyn a new laptop (which is where I'm writing this) because her current laptop is sloooooooooooowwwwwww. It's been slow for a long time--it's about as old as my desktop (I bought my desktop in late '02 and she bought her laptop in late '03, so both are old and outdated though we did update my PC a few years ago with more RAM and a better video card).

So we bit the bullet today and ordered two new laptops which should arrive next week. It's weird to think that two people need two computers, but we do. She wants to be able to take hers to her classroom to better educate her classes and I need one for all my journalistic endeavors.

It's funny...all we have is Ryan's laptop he got in 2004. I think it's pretty decent, but he thinks it's a piece so...I'm sure eventually we'll invest in a new one that's kinda "ours"

Right now my only cpu is the laptop I have from work. I can use it for pretty much anything except downloading music. I only have it home on weekends and even then I rarely turn it on. I waste most of my time online from work. I'm such a good employee ;)

But yeah it's very inconvenient for you guys with the timing. I don't envy you...but yay for shiny new laptops! What kind did you get?

Dells Inspiron something or other. We'd like Apples but they're just too expensive for us at the moment and I don't mind Windows considering I'm not a computer geek that gets hung up on Windows vs. Apple.

Jacelyn made sure her new laptop had bluetooth capabilities, however, because she found how-to instructions to turn a white board into a smart board using a bluetooth-enabled computer and a Wii remote.
