Dear Santa part 2
Dear Santa,
Our desktop computer died and the little screen on my netbook gives me a headache when I want to edit photos. I know things are tight right now (they surely are in our bank accounts), but I've seen a lot of stores with things on deep discount sale.
Still, I know we'll have to save up for a while, since we do plan to buy others gifts (though honestly...the yawning cavern that is the disparity between what we are EXPECTED to give and what the other seem to think we're WORTH..is getting a little harder to bridge even with the most generous spirit. After a while, being taken advantage of takes its toll on that Generosity Bridge)this Christmas season. We've got a list and are checking it, twice.
So, what do we want for ourselves? Not to beat around the bush, but this computer tower, with 8 GB of SDRAM and a terabyte of memory would do quite nicely. Oh, I know, it seems like rather a lot, unless, as my friend Val said "you're pretending to run a space station", but then, her husband has one that would make this one look like a piker and since he's a physicist, he probably COULD run a small space station with his...
Still, since we usually keep our towers for about five years, it is a fairly good idea to get one that's powerful enough that in five years it can still run most of the current programs. 'Pup and I spend a significant amount of our lives online (sad though that may seem), so a good computer is a good thing. Plus, we're kinda running up a large number of photos recently between the two of us, and they can munch memory like a Japanese beetle can eat up...well...most things.
So, Dear Santa, though I know we won't be getting that tower until closer to summer, I would appreciate one of your handy dandy computer geek elves to pay us a visit and fix the one we have. It was working okay, until it just...wasn't, and we have backups of the programs and most everything else.
Thank you,
Love,
Nancy
PS: what kinds of cookies to computer elves like to munch on?
