Well, I finally went and did it.
I have been thinking about it for a very elderly coon's age.
I bought meself a bargain basement, refurbished, plain jane, bona fide laptop.
It came bare bones. It barely has a brain. But it DOES have wireless capability though I can't get a good signal from anyone's spare vibes in the neighborhood, but there are places I can use it that will. So I can get on the internet with it.... eventually.
But that's not what it's for anyway.
It's for editing my novel. And maybe someday writing another one. I realized I was putting off the latest re-write because I could not face sitting at this computer desk for hours on end. I just cannot.
I have spent the last hour and a half getting to know how the Compaq works and uploading my novel files from my flash drive. I also bought a little wireless mouse for it, because the tiny tracking ball mouse doodad was unacceptable in the extreme.
It felt really fun to be cozed up on the couch, geeking away.
I think Mr. Compaq Armada M700 and I are going to be friends.
Say how do to him...

(You know this means you have no more excuses, don't you?)
Yes I do.
And I'm not afraid.
Not one bit.
And you're not the boss of me either, smart ass.
