Like my mother used to say...


My mother used to have a favorite saying.  She embroidered it to have above the mantle.  She quoted it...OFTEN.  And I can still hear her say...

Be careful of the words you say.
Keep them soft and sweet.
You never know from day to day
which ones you'll have to eat.

Where is this going, you ask?  Well, I have proclaimed loudly and often that I would NEVER have another Dell.  My first  one was an unhappy experience from day one.  But when I found a new computer tech that instantly came across as a really smart and all-around good guy, I believed him when he said that he used to feel the same way, but that they had changed his mind...quality improved..service improved...etc.

It's been a kind of long process.  He worked on my old laptop a couple of times.  After deciding that due to its age and limitations I didn't want to invest any more money in it, I asked my new friend to start looking for a new one for me.  He found me a good deal.  He even took care of the registration and warranty and moving everything from the old one to the new one.  LOVED having someone do that for me.

And now time will tell.  I'm hoping it wins me over.

So far, so good!

  2. Both my girls had Dells for their high school laptops. We had a few issues and warranty jobs but Dell honoured it and we had a technician travel 50 kms within 48 hours of the call to fix it on our kitchen table.
    I hope you have good backup service and trouble free times with this one!
    We have a lovely man who I can call and he troubleshoots anything - a real Mr Fixit!

I have had a lot of really gross spam comments left lately, so I am having to turn comment moderation back on. To my nice blog friends, my apologies if this makes it more difficult for you to comment. To the mean naughty-talk spammers, just go away!
