It's 7:30 p.m. and I am exhausted! Today started off with dismantling my old computer, I wanted to wipe the hard drive and throw the antique in the trash. By noon I could not find a way to wipe the drive without a floppy drive or a cd. I do not keep writable cds here, therefore, I could not download the program to securely wipe my hard drive. I finally became extremely annoyed and I tore in the stupid thing and ripped out the hard drive. I threw the tower away and the hard-drive will live forever in my junk drawer or until I get Dad to drill a few holes in it.
At 12:30 p.m., I picked up Dad and we went to lunch. Then off to our father / daughter ritual of shopping at Sam's Wholesale [see previous Sam's post from 2004]. Unfortunately, Dad has a cold and didn't feel good and didn't even want to go down the tool section.
After that, we went to Walmart in Mustang, which is way nicer and cleaner than the Walmart in Yukon. I will probably be going there from now on. By the time I get Dad home it is 4 pm.
I then spend the next three hours pulling out the old computer cords and putting the new computer in its place. Aren't Saturdays supposed to relaxing and fun? Grocery shopping is anything but fun. Getting a new computer is fun, getting rid of the old one is not.
I also discovered that while my new laptop can plug into my TV and play videos, I don't have the speakers that can plug into the computer so that was a little disappointing eventually maybe I will get a audio cable that will work with the laptop and the TV. I check into that later.
So now that you've read this are you too as exhausted as I am?
Enough for now...
