. . . .Now For Something Different!

     I hate computers. They are right up there winter and electrical problems on ABISHAG. And I guess they hate me back.

     I have recently gotten an new computer  and a new printer as the previous one have died. I am not sure why as they were only about 8 years old and have rarely been dropped. Perhaps I can chalk it up to planned obsolescence. 

    And due to the fact that I am so bad with things electronics, I have a maintenance service with Dell. Anything breaks or goes bad, they fix it.  Forever. I make a one time payment and that's it. I get to talk with  them operate my computer remotely ans just sit back and watch them do it. But ther is one problem, the minutes on the phone. Do you know how much time you spend on your phone a month? Well, with the regular phone calls I make and receive, add to it all the minutes it took talking with techs at Dell to get my new computer and printer up and running and talking with each other and the internet, today I hit the limit of my monthly plan: 700 MINUTES! I have a stupid phone, no text, not data, no pictures, no internet. It just makes phone calls and receives phone calls. But if I make a phone call now, it will be 40 cents a minute! The limit will reset, but not until Saturday midnight. I'll have to see about changing the plan again as I can't figure out how all those people I see with the "smart phones," on which they are seemingly all the time, can afford it. AH, such is life in the electronic age!
