Notebooks and the New Year Furry Ball
15 years ago
I got a notebook computer this year for Christmas. It's "slightly used" (I'm doubting the "Slightly" part, though =\ ), and has a tiny memory (No joke -- 250-something MB), but it has WiFi, so I can hop online whenever I'm next to a hotspot. And it's so small (7 inches. That's it.) that it fits right in my bag!
But the fact that it's used would explain why 1) Everything's out of date (Even Internet Explorer, apparently), 2) The left "mouse" button doesn't work, and 3) The battery doesn't hold a charge for anything. I'll have it fully charged first thing in the morning, and it's usually dead in less than an hour. =P
I figure I can handle the mouse button situation well enough by getting a USB one to hook up to it. Right now, I'm clicking on things by tapping the touch pad, but having a seperate mouse would make it easier for me. And I can get an SD card to get more memory if I want to. I'm using a flash drive right now, but I'm a little uncomfortable holding this tiny computer with a big strip of plastic sticking out that might break off if I'm not careful. And I'll see if I can get one of my tech-savvy friends to check out what should be updated to what, and how to replace the battery. All-and-all, it should be worth the work. =3
And on a totally unrelated note, I'm really thinking of going to the Furry Ball for New Years, but I haven't secured a ride yet. I don't plan on staying at the hotel, since I live right down the road from the place, so I'd prolly have to be with someone who also plans on jetting out soon after the ball drops. If I can't get a ride, I guess I'll just have to miss out, but I at least wanna try. Looks like it'll be a smashing good time. I'll have to see what I can do.
