$299!


My new computer!

Last week, I bought a brand-new HP desktop computer for $299! Yes, that’s after the sale price and two rebates, but still, I bought the best computer I have ever owned for the lowest price I have ever paid. In 2003, I bought a used Pentium 3 for $300, but it was already obsolete when I bought it.

In fact, that’s the computer that the new HP replaced. My old, obsolete PC was just so painfully slow. There was just no way to upgrade it anymore. I wanted to build my own computer, to my specifications, but it would have cost me about four times more than buying an already manufactured PC. Now this new computer of mine is the fastest computer I have ever owned. It has 3GB of memory, the most ever for me. And a 500GB hard drive that ties my largest hard drive. Of course, I could go on with the superlatives to describe my new computer.

Now that I think of it, this $299 computer cost as much as my iPhone 3G! But it’s a full-fledged computer. The iPhone 3G is only a computer wannabe. But of course, I can’t take my desktop PC with me wherever I go. I even hate to lug around my notebook PC everywhere I go. Well, that’s why I bought the iPhone. Not that I’m addicted to the Internet, but I like to check my e-mail no matter where I am.

If it’s a wrong number, why did you answer?


My new iPhone!

I’ve had my iPhone for about a month now. And hardly anybody calls me! That’s because I didn’t really give out my phone number to very many people.

Then, suddenly, yesterday and today, my phone keeps ringing with phone numbers that I don’t even recognize. Everyone was calling for Tina. “Tina Who?” I wondered.

Finally, today, the woman on the other end asked to confirm the number that she dialed. It matched my phone number to the digit. Why else would we be talking to each other? She said that was the phone number that Tina gave to all her friends. I was getting tired of being Tina’s answering service, so I told this woman, “When you finally get a hold of Tina, would you please tell her to call everybody back and give them her correct phone number? I’m tired of getting all these phone calls for Tina!”

She laughed, but I thought I would surely be bombarded by more phone calls for Tina. Well, since that conversation, no one has called for Tina. In fact, no one has called me at all. I’m starting to miss Tina’s friends.
