So our computer decided to die.
It is a sad day for all.
Especially for you all because now you will have nothing to read about.
Being that I know that my life is the only thing that truly matters to you all!
What does this honestly mean though you might ask?
If not, you will find out … if you keep reading I guess that is …
Well, to break it down to the simplest form, we need a new computer.
So the hunt began … and it wasn’t fun I might add.
La Wife really could use a Mac for the things she wants to do.
I just need a simple something to bump around on the internet with.
So were does that leave us?
That’s right, La Wife needs a Mac.
We, being of a more humble stock, can not afford said computer.
So I was talking at work and one of my lackeys came and told me of a new product.
It is an external device that you plug into a USB port and then go buy the Mac operating system and low and behold you can now run it on your PC.
It costs about $200 and then the Mac OPS is about another $150ish so for less then $400 you can have the best of both worlds!
A cheep computer that you can update as needed for way less, and then also the Mac OPS that everyone loves O so much.
So now we have a plan … we can do this right?
I, being the man of the house who makes all of the decisions because La Wife lets me, left our little cave on an adventure to buy a new computer.
I drove to the all wonderful Buy the Best store.
I looked around to see if everything was as I saw online during my searches and seeing that it was decided what I wanted and being a manly man carried it to the front … and then grabbed a buggy because being that I am a man I forgot to get a buggy as I walked in … shush!
I paid with the almighty credit card thinking how we finally got it paid off and now as things go in 3’s I will need it for some car repair and at least 1 Wonder Dog visit in the near future.
I took said piece of magical technology back to the cave and that’s when it went to the proverbial south.
Why is it called south anyway?
I mean doesn’t everyone like coming to the south?
We have the best food, Disney (Barf) and beaches?
O, that’s right south as in Hell … my bad it is still early …
I put my magical box together and start it up … thinking I might not have becoue it is so quiet … yea you can’t hear it running … so at first I thought it was broken already!
I popped open my magical box and attempted to install my old hard drive into it that I backed everything up onto … and low and behold they have changed so it doesn’t fit.
OK, I can work with this.
I move stuff on from my portable hard drive and finish all the installs and then go back to the all mighty Buying of the Best store and ask for a converter … low and behold they have one.
Well of course they do because if I thought of it someone else had to have thought of it years ago because I just cannot get a great ideal first.
So, I buy the converter and bring it home … low and behold it works too!
Now I am thinking though, it is slow and only works through a USB port so I don’t like it, it looks tacky.
I am going to finish transferring all of the information and then take it back and get another internal hard drive.
The question is, is that wrong?
I am going with no because it is for my personal gain and they have a return policy for a reason … yea I will be able to sleep after this one with little lack of sleep I am sure.
After the external drive is done transferring that is … in another 20 hours … and then I will do the other hard drive … so Monday’ish I will return it and continue on with my new putter story.
When did these things get so difficult?

Oh sure, don't ask the 'in-law' if there's anything that he has that would be considered a bargin at his "CrapUSA" store!?! No. Don't do that! And it's a good thing too because I won't have to tell you about the 4gb of RAM, 640gb hard drive computer that we have as an "open box" item, because the box is destroyed that I can get for a very good price. Nope. Don't ask. That way I won't have to tell you. heehee
Sucks to be you.
wow - you are brilliant - you have used words and terms I have never even heard and, apparently, you know how to make all that computer rebuilding stuff work.. i am more than impressed! i only have one teeny question: if your computer is not working, how did you write this? i am so confused . . .
