This is another short story and it's about this laptop that I'm using. What I really want is a tablet, but this will be okay until I can get one. Now, how did I get this? First off it's an HP Pavilion with AMD Turion 64 Mobile Processor ML-34 (1.8GHz, 1MB L2 cache, up to 1600mhz system bus) 1024MB system memory, 80GB hard drive, Windows XP and 15" widescreen.
On Thursdays I go to Anita's Knitting and Crocheting club and one day I was telling Anita that I want to get a tablet or a laptop because it's hard to sit at the desk and use the PC. Well, Anita said she would be right back and she went to her apartment and came down with this laptop. She said that she wanted a computer so she could play solitaire, but she wasn't using this laptop very much and it was a gift to her also. So passing it along to me was just paying it forward. And that's how I got this cool laptop. It was one of the coolest thing to happen to me except for the day we went out for brunch for my birthday.
My birthday was on Monday, but I wanted to go out for all you can eat brunch. So we went out for brunch on the Sunday before my birthday. Cyndi and I invited our friends Alan and Jan to go with us. We were enjoying our meal and we had had a wonderful time. The food was great, the chef came by, as did the owner. And finally the waitress came by and said, "I suppose you're waiting for your check. Well you won't be getting one. The gentleman at the table beside you paid for your meal. All four of you plus the tip. So you don't owe anything." We couldn't believe it and we don't know why he chose us but how cool is that? It must have been about $100.00. That has to be the second coolest thing to happen to me after the laptop.
