We Have Finally Arrived to the 21st Century

I have been meaning to create a family blog for a while, but Cameron HATES the den. Apparently we spend too much time reading email, updating finances, editing pictures and video......Anyway, our computer finally crashed on Saturday after the dreaded Blue Screen of Death for a few weeks. We had backed everything up, so it wasn't so bad. But the question was "what to do?" We consulted with Jerry and decided to put in a new hard drive and if that wasn't the problem, well we'd just use the hard drive to build a new computer. We found a hard drive for a good deal, but then we found out that there is now a new hard drive version. Of course, our computer took the old hard drive version. We had talked of getting a laptop since Cameron goes ballistic when I am trying to update finances etc. So, we took the plunge. I am loving it since I do a lot of geneology with all the Norwegian Parish Records that are online. Then we got back home and later in the day, our desk top decided that it had not quite crashed yet! But, we still get the BSOD several times a day. Anyway, due to the greater freedom of the laptop, I figured I could try to create our family blog. Curtis said, "I'll never buy a new car, but the luxury of a new laptop is great!" This is because this is one of the first "new" computer purchases we have ever made. Anyway, we have finally arrived to the 21st Century!
