Really slow.
So we decided to get a new one. Fortunately, my husband had earned some “reward points” at work, and it looked like we could use them to buy a laptop. Plus, we HAD to use the points because…
Jack placed the order and used his points, per the plan. All was hunky-dory. Then, about two weeks later, a small package arrived at our door.
It said “Dell” on it. I assumed it was an accessory for the laptop, which had NOT yet arrived. Strange.

But when I opened the box, I realized this was no accessory. No sir. This thing WAS the laptop.
Actually, not even a laptop, but a “Mini Netbook.” I have no idea what a “netbook,” but they were dead right about the “mini” part.
I realized then what must have happened. Jack just got online and ordered what he thought was a normal laptop (“what a great deal!”) without even looking at the specs, which surely would have read:
Needless to say, I could not stop laughing. I was still laughing when he got home 30 minutes later.
I explained to him that THIS was the computer he ordered. He hesitated. Trying to decide how to play the situation... Then:
And so, like that, he and the itty bitty “netbook” became attached at the hip. He loves it and defends it at every turn. (I can’t for the life of me figure out how he’s typing on those miniature keys.)
As for me, I’m trying to reunite with the old laptop. But things aren’t off to a good start. It’s been over a month and the thing is still only 40% done with the start-up process.
