\u2026 I want to take this moment and firstly thank all my wonderful, patient friends who endured a barrage of technical questions like \u201cwhat\u2019s an intel\u201d as I try and navigate the overwhelming sea of information out there. <\/p>\n

My only access to the internet at this point in my work pc and I can\u2019t use this during the working hours of the day. I can use it at night, like I\u2019m doing right now, if I want to stay late after work but who really wants to hang around in an empty office. The heat automatically shuts off and I keep hearing weird noises coming from the conference room. Creepy. <\/p>\n

My typical blogging schedule is after my son goes to bed or during those dark hours in the wee morning when I\u2019m gripped with insomnia. Some of the best things I\u2019ve ever written were at 3 am. <\/p>\n

So you won\u2019t being seeing too much of me while I work out the technical difficulties. If you feel so inclined, I\u2019d be extremely grateful if you felt moved to make a small donation to go toward the purchase of another laptop. I don\u2019t want anything pricey like a Mac, just a nice functional laptop that lets me do my writing on. Or if you know of any laptop that cost around $400 or less, will let me write\/blog on, and work for entertainment purposes let me know. I\u2019ve ruled out netbooks because I do need a disk drive to run my school CD\u2019s and language programs. My son will also be sharing it for school work and they require powerpoint presentations. Other than that I am open to all your suggestions. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
