General Chit Chat - #2

@Peppermom Nice to see you! Happy 2022 to you as well.

Thanks for the welcome back! Hope to check in more often!

@Peppermom testing my memory. Is that the same avi you've had for many years?

He/She is gorgeous. Does he have blue eyes or is that the light reflection?

So I really need a new laptop, this one I've had since high school and it's basically falling apart and super slow when trying to load. I usually get all my electronics at Best Buy but wanted to ask where you all get your laptops and which would be a good one. Thanks!

I prefer Acer's. Have used them for years. A couple of years ago I needed a new work laptop. I searched everywhere for what I needed. Nothing special but I was ticked that you have to pay for Microsoft after 1 year. I ended up getting a great deal at Walmart of all places. It's lightening speed and I'm very happy with it.

Shortly after I messed up my laptop that I use for personal use. I took it out of town for a course I had to take. The morning of checkout of my hotel, I had to go to the last day of the course. I packed my laptop in my carryon I brought and wrapped in in clothes because it was very cold outside. When I got home and turned it on I was greeted with a  psychedelic screen! It never got better. I had just bought a laptop so I searched Kijiji and found a used refurbished Acer.

I just recommend making sure you know exactly what comes with it because I found you had to pay for so many extra's that were part of the package in the past.

I have a Macbook Pro that I've had for a couple of years. I like mine but there's a learning curve if you come from a Windows laptop which I did. I got mine at Costco for a deal. It's not for everyone. My friend got one and she practically never uses it (uses her iPad instead). Some things I didn't know was that I sometimes have to convert documents to Word to share. Pics don't always work for people either. They are expensive but I'm hoping that I won't have to update for a very long time.

I am also a fan of Acer. Have had mine for 8 years which is pretty long these days. I particularly love it because it has the touch screen so if you do games, it is easier, but for some things I still prefer the mouse.

I buy my stuff at Best Buy, because if you have issues it is easier to get repaired. Before this one I accidentally spilled a bit of tea on my old one. Since it was my fault I would have to pay to repair it, but it took them so almost a month so I ended up getting another one...free! I gave that to my dad since I couldn't wait that long and had bought this one.

Thanks for all the tips! Very helpful!

Back after a long hiatus. Hope everyone’s well. I laughed more at the premiere tonight than at any previous Bach/ette premiere. I may not be on much, as my business has me chasing my tail. I am the primary baker (well, my team is) for a swanky tea house in Santa Monica CA, and I do private chef work now at Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes Estates. Little Red Car was replaced by Minivan #1 and now #2. Hard to take food for eight in a sports car. Sigh. But I do have another little red car - a 1974 VW !
Sending warm wishes from your OG friend.

So nice to see you, @in2deep! It sounds like you're a busy gal! I think I enjoyed last night more than any of the previous premieres. I'm glad you still have a little red car.

@in2deep so nice to see you!!!

We had loads of imaginary fun in that little red car!

Currently typing this from my new laptop! I went with a Dell as that's the ones I am used to. It's a touch screen and can flip into a iPad screen. So far so good have to get used to the keyboard though haha what I love is the internet is way faster and loads in seconds which means I can actually be on here more!
