OK -- 2014 was the first full year for hubby and I to receive both a pension and SSA check. Needless to say, I just wrote two big checks to the government. Then I wrote 2 more -- quarterly payments.
Feeling depressed, I wandered into Office Depot to see if they had anything for door prizes. They used to have clearance items stacked all over!! Not anymore. I found nothing to buy for SLUGO. But --- I did find a clearance item that intrigued me enough to ask one of the salespeople to enter the password so I could 'play around' with it. Fun & frustrating, small and light, and I bought it.
Last one - and a floor model to boot -- but knocked another 10% off. So for $179 I bought www.officedepot.com/a/products/352667/HP-Pavilion-10-e010nr-TouchSmart-Laptop/
Office Depot is removing their set-up and restoring the factory defaults. It comes with McAfee -- and I asked them NOT to install it. We joked that it is already a turtle, no need to make it a snail. Small, compact, Win 8.1 --- it will become my traveling genealogy computer, one that runs the programs I always use the way I use them! Even has a HDMI slot so I can connect it to the TV. Now I'll get to learn yet another version of Windows.
Anyway -- feeling better. I spent money on ME.
As I told the accountant --- You know you've paid a lot in taxes when a 3 week trip to Norway would have been cheaper!
