Hopefully the end of a mostly internet-free week thanks to the incompetence of Time Warner.

If it doesn't get fixed by the tech coming out today, there is going to be some nastiness.

If they don't want the 900 GB, may I have it?

I suppose a suggestion of Matrix's "War in the East" may not be what she's looking for?

-10F this morning ambient with windchill ~-25F. Packed snow on the streets plus idiots that don't know how to drive in it made for a 1.5 hour inbound commute. Can't wait to see what fun awaits this evening on the way home!

If you offered them a Terrabyte, I suspect that you may have been in for an argument. "No, I need 500GB!"

When in doubt, make her something. Doesn't have to be fancy or even useful. She will appreciate it.

Ooo...an iPad would be a good one. My wife absolutely loves hers...and no, she's not technically adept at all. But unlike her laptop, she actually plays around with the iPad and learns how to do things.
