I can't believe I haven't posted since December. I spend countless hours pouring over so many lovely blogs, but I just can't seem to get the motivation to post. I did spend Christmas, complete with snow, in NC. On one leg of the looooong flight back, there was free in-flight wi-fi. Imagine my delight, face booking from a high altitude...entertainment to pass the long hours. I was on long enough to post my Facebook status and chat with a friend. I closed it to eat lunch and when I opened it, the screen was black. It had crashed. I almost cried, but there was nothing I could do, so I made sure it was off and put it in my bag and read a book. About an hour later, I reached into my bag and burned my hand on it. the battery was so hot, I'm surprised it didn't burst into flames. I took out the battery and it started to cool off. When I got home, I called HP and talked to their outsourced help and had to send the netbook in. I wrote a letter expressing my disgust with the computer in general and got no response. In a roundabout way, I'm explaining that my pictures were all gone and I had no functioning computer to blog on. My desktop is ancient. I got the netbook back and it works ok, but it still runs hotter than ever. Ironically, I tried to take it back to Target because it got so hot. Target doesn't take back electronics. Lessons learned: don't buy electronic stuff from Target and don't buy HP! I'm blogging from my ipad2, but need to learn how to upload pictures from it....
