Decisions
Grandad March 13th, 2008
Laptop: What are you waiting for?
Me: Jayzus! You made me jump. I thought I gave you to Herself when I gave her the old laptop?
Laptop: And then you networked the two laptops together? Duh?
Me: So you’re back to annoy me?
Laptop: Yup. So what are you waiting for?
Me: I am only just out of bed. I have a lot of work to do and am trying to decide what to do first.
Laptop: Like Freecell or Minesweeper?
Me: Don’t be smart. Now that you’re here, I have a question.
Laptop: What?
Me: Why does my cursor sometimes slowly crawl up the screen even when I’m not touching the mouse?
Laptop: I’m working on a formula for anti-gravity. Next…?
Me: OK. A simple question. I have several contracts to do, a blog to write, invoices to send out and a book to write. Which do I do first?
Laptop: Solitaire.
Me: OK. Thanks.
A real Pat Ingoldsby moment.
Ah! The great Pat. The two of us once got thrown out of Kelly’s Hotel in Rosslare. The Good Old Days
hahahahaha. I think your laptop posts are halarious!
Press windows key and u. It’ll talk back to you properly.
Thanks for the tip, Digital, but it’s quite efficient enough already. I’m thinking of removing the speakers altogether, in fact. And I’m very worried about that webcam that’s built in. Is it recording everything???
On of the classic lines of all times: War Games, Nukes have just blown the world to Helen Bach, and computer says:
“how about a nice game of chess?”
That sound like the kind of warped sense of humour this yoke has. Don’t be giving it ideas.
Don’t anthropomorphise your laptop. That’ll just make it mad.
love it love it love it ! Can completely relate (except for the book writing part)
BTW Grandad if you find the answer to the mouse crawling up the screen please share.
What a cheeky lap-top!
(My blog-mistress uses a chest-top, by the way…not too cheeky, but a bit full of herself…)
It’s like Mr. Ed and Look Who’s Talking and The Dáil in here, all these inappropriate and inanimate objects coming to life.
Sometimes if I stare at the photo of Grandad long enough, he winks at me and tells me to shoot tourists.
What a bossy laptop!
Brianf - It’s mad enough anyway…
Ashley - Do you have a cursor that you curse too?
Olga - Chest top? The mind boggles [and the laptop wobbles?]!
Terence - Great! I wondered if my experimentation in subliminal mind control was working.
Tanya - Don’t be too harsh. It can be crabby at times, but a good reboot up the backside cures it.
