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.

So funny, I am reading this on my crappy Dell laptop that has to be plugged in at all times, or it won't work. Next time we are getting a Mac.
Ali did that at about that age too!
I miss our twinner computers! Good times!
Haha that is funny! Cory had been given a Dell when he went to college too (and his mom still will only buy Dells) and I tell him how much I can't stand him..he says it's just cause I don't like her and that's what she likes. But that's totally not true..I think Dells suck! Haha We still have my Toshiba that I got my first year and though his Dell turns on it takes a year just to do anything! :D Haha..too funny!!
