Tech update...We went to Circuit City yesterday and bought a new notebook and monitor to replace our aging home infrastructure. It's very nice having a 19' LCD panel in the bedroom. And the new living room laptop has one of those
widescreens that is great for watching movies. I love it!
Of course the day was generally an example of Murphy's Law...it took nearly 90 minutes at Circuit City
despite the fact that we had purchased the items online the night before and were only coming to pick them up! Incredible how a lack of training can cause a tremendously poor customer interaction.
Then, Michelle spend an hour at Costco gathering about 20 items that we had Costco coupons for. When we got to the checkout she discovered that the coupons were not valid until the next day! So she had to put everything back...
Then, when she got to the car to come pick us up (we were at Chili's watching the Eagles squeeze out their victory over the Giants), she couldn't turn the key in the ignition of the Sienna! She wound up calling Toyota because the security lock was engaged and would not allow the key to turn. She got it working, but it took an hour.
What a day...
Buy.com has a sweet deal on this 8GB mp3 player today. I now use (and LOVE) a 2GB Muvo V100 for $50. So, $80 for an 8GB seems like a good deal. The question then is what to do with my sweet little 2GB player? Matt might like it, or Michelle. But I'm not sure how much they really would use it. So, maybe I regift it to someone with an August Birthday (RD & RTB come to mind...). :-)
