A new laptop




Well, I'm now the owner of a brand new Sony Vaio laptop! We were on the point of getting
the latest Lenovo which boasted 1 terrabyte of storage but the salesman convinced M into getting the Sony Vaio for its faster processor, although only 750 Gigabytes of storage. The Lenovo had excellent reviews but the reasoning is that processor speed outweighs storage. 750 gigabytes is a lot of storage anyway. New laptops seem to come with Windows 8 operating systems, which is a bit different than Windows 7. I'm adjusting however (curse curse).  In fact the laptop was hanging yesterday but it was likely the internet connection acting up because it worked fine at someone else's house.  Changing laptops is a bit like moving house, lots of things to adjust to, until you settle in.  M says we have 2 weeks to decide if we want to return it for whatever reason. 

If you are interested in caregiving issues, here is an interesting Canadian website that shares caregiver stories and supports caregivers.  I read it from the Good Times magazine website.
