We ended up getting another "tower". The geek squad geek said to find out what was wrong with our computer meant sending it out for testing which could cost us anywhere from $100 - $500.
A new tower was anywhere from $300 - $500, so we figured what the hey. Why pay to fix something when it's prolly just going to break again down the road?
We looked at lap tops, but there was a few factors we really didn't think about. 1 - the memory is smaller. Not that it would make a huge difference to us, but IF the lap top lasted a long time we'd start running into the problems we had with our old computer. 2 - it is much harder to replace parts in a lap top as opposed to a tower. If something breaks in the tower, the geeks can just take it a part, find the broken peice and replace it. In a lap top almost everything is cemented together (for my technical terms anyway). 3 - we'd have to buy a wireless router and pay to have them come out to make sure it all works correctly.
So we stayed with what we were used to and figured that if my soap business takes off or if he goes off on his own (he has the ability to work for himself if he wants to) we can just get a lap top then, buy a wireless router and hook up the desk top to the wireless.
Since I didn't get what I wanted, I bought a new digital camera. It was on clearance so I got this nice one for 50% off. Can't complain there!
Still no babies from Opi. Man, I feel for her. She's just huge. Now her teats are filling up a bit...
I've also noticed that Nilly, my nigerian/alpline, is being exceptionally nice lately. So I loved up on her, felt for an udder, but there wasn't one. I put my hands on her sides and gave her a hug and felt some thumps against my left hand, which was on her right side. Babies!
