Found A New Computer On Sale

My wife and I have MacBooks, and both are showing their age. We use them a lot, and have carried them extensively while traveling. Friday, I found the exact replacements we were looking for on Amazon at a fantastic price (649 delivered) I ordered two, intending to surprise the wife. Unfortunately, she wanted to surprise me too. She ordered two. Today, 4 MacBooks arrived.

The good news is, Amazon is taking two of them back.

That O’Henry tale is one of my favorites. Thanks for reminding me.

Celebrate the connection you both share.

I often remember that story this time of the year. That was when story writers knew how to write stories.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Well now you have spares for when the first two wear out. Note, make sure to exercise the batteries on the spares about once a month, if a lithium ion battery is 100% depleted it becomes a brick never to charge again.

I've stopped counting.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown
