I miss You Dearly, Jess!

Jess, Your long lost and forgotten MacBook Pro loves you and wants to return to the fold. Ever since your new love has entered your life, things just have not been the same. You don’t communicate anymore. You are out late and seen with that “other” Apple product. I’m lonely, hurt and sad without you. Why, Why Why?? I ask myself. Please come back!

Mrstommytcs New Laptop from Best Buy

Well I finally did it. I bought mrstommytrc a new laptop. It was painful process. Not in money or picking one out, but the sales process. Best Buy is just so pushing selling their extra “services” and geek squad crap. No, I do not need $50 cables. No I do not need the geek squad to set up my laptop for an extra $100. No, I do not need a printer. No I do not need anti-virus software that is over priced. NO NO NO. I overheard one sales guy telling another guy the PC will run better if the geek Squad were to “install” it for him. What a waste of $100.
