  This is my first post from my new laptop computer. It's a nice little Toshiba Satellite and I like it! We're bringing this laptop to Italy so that we can download our pictures from our digital camera so we can take even more pictures of Italy. When Becca & Trevor were here, we took 750 pictures and each one was 6.2 megapixels which equals a lot of memory. Ta da! Laptop. At the same time, we're trying to fix the desktop which was running slow. We decided to simply start over from scratch.
It unfortunately didn't work so smoothly but the lady on HP's technical support line said that I need to disconnect everything except the monitor, mouse & keyboard and try again. After that, they'll charge me $40 to work on it since it is no longer under warranty. On the bright side of things, my cousin Rachel will be coming to NYC for a visit in July with a couple of her girlfriends.
They're staying at a hotel not far from where I work, so I should be able to spend some quality time with her. She's just a year younger than I am and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Her dad and my dad are 1st cousins. I haven't seen here in about 5 years or so - maybe 6. Anyway, I'm really looking forward for her visit.
Also, later this month, Chris's friend, Brad, is coming for a week with a friend of his. Chris says he sounds excited about coming and we're excited he's coming, so that makes a good match! Well, I just inserted the final disk of 7 disks which will take in total 33 minutes to run - I would know since this is the 3rd or 4th time I've done this tonight. Wish me luck!
