I am back.
I took a little break although it was not on porpoise. It rather is that I had somewhat of an accessibility problem. Those nasty hurricanes will do that (meaning “Ike” and not the drink so famous on Bourbon Street, although the best I recollect, too many of those hurricanes will definitely give you an accessibility problem as well).
But yes, despite the fact that the DHL folks doubly got the delivery address wrong this morning I still managed to take possession of my new inspiron and it works like a charm. Likewise I am impressed with the speed of my new Verizon USB air card.
However, one thing this new laptop will not do is cook, so I must eat something. Chow. Yes I need to eat some chow.
