My wife likes getting snow. Then she watches me deal with it, through the kitchen window, while sipping on a hot chocolate.
The seem to be concerned about something.
<p?
That they’ll get it, or maybe that they won’t.
Yes, that’s a lot of kittehs. They’re all named for Shakespearean characters, according to the site.
So, she doesn’t make suggestions to improve your technique?
Lucky...
Have to admit i’m warming to them myself.
Having had this IPug for the last nine months it has to be said it is rather good.
Had a look at the prices in the shop yesterday....
ipad mini 250-650
ipad 350-950
all laptops over a grand.
Very nice ,but, Wow!
That’s either a herd or a horde!
That is very interesting naming them all after Shakespeare’s characters. Alas, compared to that, my kitties names seem rather pedestrian.
Keep in mind macs retain their value. You can sell a used one and get good money for it. If anything can go wrong with it, it usually does during the first month or two and they cover it.
( unless you drop it or spill coffee on it.)
I’ve had a Mac performs 575 from the mid 90s which still runs, and laptop, an iPad, and an iPhone 4S. I love my iPad best I think. I bought it for 300 when it was being discontinued. I know my OS systems are not the latest but they do what they need to do for me, and that makes me happy.
Besides, I just like the look and feel of Apple software over Windows.
My daughter must have had one of the few bad Macs ever built. (Disclaimer - I worked for Compaq for 5.5 years and left right before HP bought them.) When she asked for a Mac to take to college so she’d fit in I made her pay the difference. Then I picked one up at the local outlet and she was happy.
After about a month she couldn’t get video unless she held it just so, then even that failed. So I told her to take it back.
She called from the store to tell me it would be a 3 day repair but they would “rent” a replacement to her for $99. I asked to talk to the service person. She said it was a known defect and an easy fix but their technicians were backlogged. I told her it was obviously a manufacturing defect and she should RTM my daughter’s computer and hand her a new one with all her data transferred. She said Apple wouldn’t let her do that. I asked my daughter to wait while I called Apple and got the same story.
Maybe Macs don’t fail as often as PCs, but if she had walked into Best Buy after a month with a failed computer she’d have walked out with a brand new one she could use. There’s no way the PC world would have let her pay in time and money for a manufacturing defect.
To top everything off, when her computer was ready and I went to drop off the rental they had to do an inspection before I could leave. So, $99 spent and hassle for both my daughter and me mean I won’t buy a Mac for myself any time soon.
My daughter finally bought a replacement after 5 years when she couldn’t get software upgrades for her old one any more due to Apple moving from Motorola to Intel. I went to use the Mac tool to transfer her data and the two versions weren’t compatible. Microsoft got called out for that with the move from Windows XP to Windows 8 and went out and bought a version of LapLink to make available for free so people could do the transfer.
For some reason, this is something she’ll put up with. As long as Apple has people buying it because it’s hip, I guess they’ll continue to get away with it.
I just looked up what a “furry” is (based on that chlorine gas attack story) and I must admit to being a tad nonplussed.
Is there no level of insanity that won’t be normalized by this culture?
TBC: You lovers of kittehs are not furrys, as far as I can tell.
As far as I can tell, no.
Our cats have all come with their names. In my adult life: Agnes, Wednesday, Shannon, and Jake.
We named the reptiles and rodents ourselves.
bump tub-0-kittens
Just the thing if you have rodent problems.
I was dissatisfied with Sparkle’s kennel name. It was so not suitable for such a beautiful black cat.
She lets me hold her longer, now, but still panics when I open the door and won’t come out when the light is on. This is going to take months...
Maybe not. Letting you hold her is very positive, and remember, it’s been less than a week!
I’ve been preoccupied with That Other Thing this morning, so I have neglected her. I need to go in and give her some fresh food and water so she’ll love me... HAHAHAHA!
Perfectly agree, Gefn, it is just a lack of USB versatility with the ipad that holds it back.
(Plus the inner Yorkshireman. Ee byeck ow much?) :)
No. Tell me you didn’t!
Don’t ever look up “furry”, there isn’t enough brain bleach on the planet to clean out afterwards.
(I work with a “wolf”, they need psychological help.)
Boom!
