Paranoid in nature. Hyperactive. And always looking to spend money that I do not have Microsoft's "End Is Near" campaign got me hook, line and sinker. Just when I was down to a few minor catastrophes Microsoft starts sending me all this death threats for my computers.
I admit I have been in a panic mode for over the last month. I have been on the internet looking for a new computer. I even went to Walmart looking at laptops. Thank goodness that their inattentivness meant no one wandered over to wait on me. A little nudge was all I needed to buy a new and probably soon regretful purchase of a low end laptop. Which are probably cheaply made. But has the Windows 8 operating system that everybody seems to hate.
I have looked at Dell. HP. Ebay. Thinking real hard about a refurbished unit. Both of my computers can take the upgrade to Windows 7 or 8. But guess what? Microsoft pulled them from the selves and does not offer them on their website. Do you pay $100 and buy a 7 on ebay only to mess up the instailation yourself?
So far I have held out and haven't spent anything. If I need to spend money it should be the $300 repair for the car. Windshield washer doesn't work. The dealer said it would cost that much!
Fortunately I did not have the money with me or I would have surely bought something. And still may have to!
