Meet MiddleC

I regret to inform you of the passing of Itty Bitty. She was a good one, but one day last week she decided to rest eternally. She did not turn on or light up. While I had various manuals and other bits of information, I had no sales receipt. I got online and realized I had never registered her. Things did not look good, as I imagined a repair bill costing more than Itty herself originally cost.

She was doing no good just as a paperweight, so Steve kindly took her to the geeks at Best Buy. They found the record of the original receipt, and she was still within the year of her one-year warranty (a small miracle in itself, as most of our gadgets break the week after the warranty runs out). The geeks sent her to specialists. Today they called and said she had gone to the great motherboard in the sky. Because she was under warranty, I would get a new one.

When Steve went to get a new one, there were none in the store to get. There were none in Nashville or on Best Buy Dot Com. There was talk of the manager trading out with something else, but instead Steve got a gift card with the amount of the trade. He then crossed the road to Costco, where he found Itty's Big Sister, now known as MiddleC (as in between Itty and the regular laptops).

All this to say that I am back in business with a little computer that's easy to transport to Disney World, where I will be going in another week. But I digress. The real news is that another Davidson computer broke within the warranty period and Best Buy came through. Best Buy Rocks!
