I've got a bit of bad news and good news to share with you all. The bad news is that my nearly new Hewlett Packard computer that I bought just last November croaked on me this last week. My hubby called HP and after testing this and that over the phone, they said it was a mechanical failure and said they would send us a box in the mail which we could use to mail it back to them so they could put a new hard drive in it. The good news is that even though I have had it for a little more than six months, Sam's Club, where I puchased it, agreed to take it back from me. It took a total of twenty minutes tonight for them to exchange the old croaked 'puter for a brand new one (instead of the three weeks or so that it would have taken to mail it to HP and get it back from them fixed). The best news of all is that for an extra pittance I now have a 120 GB hard drive instead of a 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM instead of 256 MB of RAM, and one of those cool new monitors that are about two inches thick. I am so jazzed!

Sam's Club is just wonderful to deal with!

and one of those cool new monitors that are about two inches thick. I am so jazzed!

Oh, Girl, I am turning green with envy!! I'd love to have one of those slim monitors instead of this honking big one on my desk!

I am < gaa ack > very happy < cough > for you and your new < spit > computer. And < gack > new, thinline monitor.

Seriously, I am. Just clearing my throat of the Jealousy Phlegm.
