MU and NO SNOW ICE SLEET....

uhm, MU fell apart last night. No final four. No championships. There's always next year.

We didn't get the awful sleet/ice/snow they were calling for. Oh we got plenty of rain yesterday and we did get a light dusting of a mixture, but they sun is shining oh so BRIGHTLY today. Maybe SPRING is just around the corner!

I went computer shopping yesterday. I was so excited and thrilled! My current dinosaur is almost 10 years old! I have the old CRT monitor-YIKES! Anyhoo, I went to several stores and finished up at Best Buy. There's not too many stores unless I want to drive over 100 miles to KC.

Having no luck finding the one I was searching for, I was hoping Best Buy would have something close. I found a very nice Geek Squad guy and he helped me find not only the computer but the works that went with it. My excitement was building as we took all the boxes to the register. He began ringing it up and when he hit the total button, I nearly fell over right on the spot!

$1051.00!!!!!

I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much. So we picked out another monitor, another all in one printer and it still was over $900.00!

My heart broke as I left the store. I was so looking forward to a new one. I wanted a quad four processor, 8 gig of memory, and at least a 19" monitor. A decent all in one printer would have been the icing on the cake.

I cooked my own goose though. Circuit City had the EXACT one before they went out of business, the ENTIRE package with monitor and all in one printer for $779.00!

So as I sit here typing on my old plunker, I'm being thankful I have one that works, albeit slowly, and deal with it. I am going to keep an eye on Best Buy Sales though and newegg.com and maybe, just maybe, I'll get one before summer.

On a much more serious note.
