I just talked to quietone on the phone and got her permission to let you know that her laptop is at the Dr's, and she will be back as soon as she is able. (Hopefully in a week or so.)  She is doing fine, and I enjoyed hearing her voice on the phone--but miss her messages, comments, and posts.
 
Hurry up, doc!

    Poor quilty!  Our DSL went out yesterday, and you would have thought it was the end of the world as I knew it!  So I feel for her.  At least I could drag out the ricky-ticky old laptop and use dial-up.  As frustrating as that is, it's better than no computer at all!

    Thanks, wombie -- please tell quietone we are pining away for her.  :)

    Poor thing! 
    I've been doing more reading than posting and commenting and thanks for letting us know!  I'd be sitting here wondering...you know what I'm saying?

    i'm glad she's doing ok wombat and it's just her laptop on the blink.  if you talk to her again, tell her "hi" from me.
  • wombat said on Jun 16, 2008....
    secretlife:  Will do!  Will say hi from all you others as well!  I told her I would call her in a about a week if she hasn't popped back on here--maybe Friday.
  • crybabylu said on Jun 16, 2008....
    will she get it back before she leaves for Iceland?
  • fearing said on Jun 16, 2008....
    That stinks!  Tell Quiet I miss her!

    It sure is a pain when you gotta take your laptop (or p/c) in for a checkup.  If I had the time I would take computer classes and learn how to fix it myself.

    fearing, CW, Rolling C......all who have stopped by----I will keep a running tab and when I talk to her on the phone (if she isn't back here first) I will read the comments to her.  How 'bout that?

    I was so excited to go to college when I suddenly remembered that I needed a laptop to do my schoolwork and talk to my folks online. After spending the entire vacation relaxing, I had no money to buy a new notebook computer. My friend tells me about his Dell refurbished notebook computer that has been with him for 2 years without any hassle. I visited his pad to see the refurbished notebook computer with my own two eyes and I was amazed to see that it worked as well as my sister’s newly bought laptop. Although I admit I had my doubts buying a refurbished notebook computer, I had no choice but to buy one. Fortunately, after searching through the web and comparing a dozen notebooks, I finally decided to purchase a refurbished notebook computer from Dell. As it turns out, the laptop was only called “refurbished” to decrease the prices of old models that weren’t being bought by customers. The model I purchased was a 15” Inspiron 6400 with 80 GB hard drive, 1000 MB memory and DVD/RW drive Intel Pentium Dual Core only at less than $400. The great thing about my laptop is it can be upgradeable, so if ever I raised the money for bigger hard drive or other add-ons, they are still compatible with my refurbished notebook computer. Plus, if you compare my laptop with my sister’s brand new Dell, they both work just perfectly fine. I wouldn’t trade my $400 refurbished notebook computer with her new $1,500-worth Dell. It has been over a year and I’ve done a handful of schoolwork on my refurbished notebook computer. I’ve watched hundreds of DVDs, surfed through tons of websites, played numerous albums and talked to my folks and friends back home every day via webchat. Since I could do almost anything with my refurbished notebook computer, I’m 100% sure I’ve made the right choice going for a refurb and I’d do it again even if I had the funds for a brand new laptop.

I got confuzzled when I stopped in to get gas where I used to work, and the new lady there, who I've talked to some, interupted me with a question.

"So, you're divorced, aren't you?"

"What? Where'd you hear that?"
