Yes, after researching online and shopping around, we have gone out to two stores today and have already returned with the perfect laptop. It is more like a basic laptop, but that is all we really needed. It is the Packard Bell Easy Note. Actually, it is the latest version of the laptop Tanya used to have. (Well she still does, it's in a corner around here somewhere). Anyway...
It has a widescreen and fantastically clear graphics. It is so light! It has 60MB and is wireless enabled. It comes with Windows XP Home Edition and Norton Internet Security. It's great. Oh yes- and it comes with SKYPE. We're excited about giving that a try.
Well I don't know who reads this anymore.... amazing that I wrote twice on here in one day, I know.
Don't give up on us.

The search for a laptop
Well today we are looking to replace Tan's laptop, which has finally died. Actually it doesn't seem like three years is that old, but I guess it can be a for a computer. We're looking for an inexpensive, basic replacement. We don't have loads to spend, but it turns out that they are necessary in order to use many things now.
You need a computer these days so that you can really use a digital camera, palm, ipod, email, and basically operate in this modern world anymore. Amazingly, I don't think just a few years ago, that would have been the case.
What do you think?

Hello Again
Well Hello Again!
The holidays are approaching fast and Christmas shopping is already here! Can you believe it!? We both work in retail and are already seeing the season flash befor our eyes. Next thing you know it will be all over.
I think one of the biggest drawbacks to working in retail is that the busiest time of the entire year is just before and after Christmas. I mean of course it is. It's just that it makes you even more tired, stressed and short on time than the holidays seem to do for everyone else. Not to mention that time off for November through January is not allowed in retail.
Other than this keeping us very busy, not much going on over here. Oh- our KA had a little problem over the weekend. One of the spark plugs broke apart, with one part still attached to the engine block. It was a real pain to try and figure out how to get it out. It turns out that we found out that these KA's tend to have that problem. Who knew?
Well I hope that you are all doing well. It isn't that cold here, although I hear that SoCal is really warm. It's probably around 60 degrees in the daytime here this week. That is really warm for England this time of year.
Talk to you later-
