Michael is an enabler.

I mean, he actually allowed me to convince him that I needed a netbook before my Dad’s surgery on Friday.

After all, I need something to distract me while I’m waiting, right?

And not only is it running Linux (which I really want to become comfortable with, so I can get away from Windows), it also has Open Office, and bluetooth, so I can use Michael’s phone to access the internet.

Wheeee!

And I had a couple Amazon reward certificates hanging around, so that makes it all better, right?

Michael made some comment about, “our new computer.” Sure thing, dear. Keep believing that.
