On the problem of computers

I have good news!  Yesterday went very well in spite of various glitches.  I got my nephew a computer from eBay for a very good price.  Now to hunt for one for myself.  I'm tossing the idea of desk top, laptop back and forth in my mind.  I have yet to figure out which would be more advantageous.  Did I spell that right?  (Yep, I checked) Anyway, I know that I can use my flat screen with a laptop and that I could get those boxes that hold bunches of extra information, (ah yes, I had to look that up...) an external hard drive. 

Better news yet, I found a site called Geek.com which explains everything rather nicely in English for those of us who brain's shut down the instant the word computer is mentioned.  Have I ever told you that machines (at least the electronic kind) panic me?  They tend to have nervous breakdowns when I'm near too.  I have an "iffy" relationship with machines.

That said I absolutely have to have a working computer and Windows 7 Ultimate in order to have my Knitware program work.  I need it to knit for all my relatives, neighbors and friends.  Knitting is my all time favorite pass time.  It's one of those things that makes me genuinely happy.  It never seems like work even when there are glitches and glotches and ohmygoshes.

So, on with the day.  To seek, to find the solution to problems I don't even know I have yet. ;-)  Just call me the Irish Optimist.
