Mojave Vista

I just heard that Microsoft is going to be phasing out Vista. How can they do that? Is it legal? When I bought this POS Dell laptop nearly 2 years ago I never thought Vista had anything to do with the problems I’ve had. Really, how could one blame Vista because the keyboard didn’t work? It wasn’t Vista’s fault that Dell Customer so-called Service nearly put me over the edge.


And Microsoft is thinking of calling it MOJAVE??? Are you kidding? To me, a Mojave Green is the most lethal snake you’ll find on the desert. In fact, Mojave is the whole desert!

Oh well, if they want pictures of the desert, I’m the person they need to see for marketing and screen savers.

More techno chat—went to Costco yesterday looking for a computer monitor and speakers. I will not explain why I needed those items except to let you all know that Mr. T still lives. My old computer—XP—does not.



Speakers, it seems, are passé. The Nice Man suggested something called a docking station for my iPod. Ah ha! He remembered me!

Nice Man: “I know—I home.”
Me: “You is?”
Nice Man: “no, iHome—it hooks into your computer if you have a (unrecognizable term) jack.”
Me: “I don’t know Jack”
Nice Man: “You sure don’t, Lady.” Actually he didn’t say that last part but he was thinking it. Apparently one can get a device that plugs into the CPU(I think) that will give sound as well as play the iPod as well as show you the time of day. Be still my beating heart.
Me: “Okay, I’ll take one—and throw a monitor in the basket while you’re at it.”

All of this is to get my old computer which has been in storage for a year up and running so I can get my docs and pics off of it and onto my laptop which I now find out is going to be obsolete because Microsoft decided to interfere with my life YET AGAIN.

I have some suggestions for making life easier:
1) Get an Operating System and stay with it for ten years
2) Require all gas caps to be on the same side of all cars
3) Abolish time changes—pick a time and leave the clocks alone!
