This Might Make Ammon Cringe

But I thought I would post it anyway for memory sake. When I went to school I got a new laptop, a graduation gift from my parents. Dell was a big manufacturer of PCs at the time, and one of their sub-quality computers fell into my hands. To give consumers a little credit, it was unknown at how horrible they were at this point. And to give Dell a little credit, my roommate's Dell outlived mine by a few years. I was however grateful to have a computer so I didn't have to do my school work at the computer lab. Within the first year or so it kicked the bucket, but since it was still under warranty I was privileged to spend countless, really countless, hours talking to someone in India who finally sent me a replacement. Towards the end of my senior year the battery stopped charging and it would only function plugged into a wall, not to mention it was incredibly slow. At this point in time my family made our switch to Macs and haven't gone back. I however kept this heavy Dell with me through my first year of teaching for my students to use, and then of course marrying a computer nerd you can't get rid of things like that. Kent inherited it as a "toy" or in other words it became Ammon's first attempt to familiarize his son with computers. It made the trip to Utah, but unfortunately it finally met its death.
