When it rains technology it pours technology

Like an avalanche roaring downhill toward complete destruction. . .

So is technology reestablishing itself in our house (stay tune the ginormous flat screen t.v. thingy will be next). It all started with a silly computer, then a cellphone. . . now an incubator (Okay, that one was all me. . . bad, hippie, bad!!). Now this old beast of a computer that we use is aged and probably has hepagonacyphaherpeaids among other evil computer viruses! If it doesn't, it is developing a mind of its own and we are going to rename it Hal and grab our ankles, because it now does whatever the heck it wants with no regard for the user.

So last night we went on a trip to town to look for a new computer. My friend Stu and some techie-guy convinced me that it would be better to purchase the Enterprise-D (yes, that was a Trekkie reference) than something that would be outdated in just a few short years.

To Amy's dismay this means that once again the fancy-shmancy digital camera will have to wait because we are going to have to sell at least one of the children to buy the computer. . .

. . . whatever happened to the day when an ox or an ass were the "big family purchase"???

P.S. Its sad that the words "Trekkie" and "ginormous" are in the spell check!
