We got a new printer. Actually, it's a printer, scanner, fax machine, and copier all in one. *dances* It's SO BEYOND COOL.

I can print from my laptop now.

We're giving our old printer and scanner to animeartistjo .

Seriously though. NEW PRINTER JOY.

One thing. The brand of the new printer is called "brother". On the packaging it says, "brother, always by your side." I'm sure that they were trying to make it connect with the buyer, but instead I was a little creeped out. Why? Because the old saying from somewhere "big brother is watching you" popped into my head, and when you put the printer's slogan with that saying...Creepy, right? *laughs*

Hooked up my tablet to my new laptop for the first time. I tried to draw with it, but every time I made a broad stroke with my pen, this symbol came up saying "drag me" or something, and didn't make my stroke. And then when it did pick up my stroke, it wouldn't be a smooth curve, it would be a strange diagonal that hooks into a curve at the last minute. SO FRUSTRATING!!

But then I'm kinda okay too because this Vista has this AWESOME function where I can drag out a slate type thing and write. It can read all languages that I want, but since I only know a few, I only had those as options. Did that make any sense? But look! I can write in my elementary level Japanese on my laptop now! XDD *is gleeful beyond measure*

And then after I write it on the slate thingy, it can insert it where type should go. Like so!

>_< It's all in hiragana, but we haven't learned katakana yet...and yes. SO COOL!!

Their service leaves a LOT to be desired.

I went over there with my dad to check out a potential new laptop (which I did end up buying). A guy came up to ask if we needed help. We asked a few questions to which we were given VERY vague answers too. Then the guy just stood there, leaning nonchalantly against the counter that held the laptops, staring into space while my dad and I contemplated.

After he FINALLY gets up and leaves us the hell alone as desired, I agonized over buying it again. We decided to buy.

However, all of a sudden, the guy is so busy he's never in one place in one time! I waved him down and he came over, asking "So have you guys decided yet?"

I responded, "Yes, we'd like to buy this one please." (though in not so many words) Before I even finished talking, he was gone.

Oookay~. I thought, you know, maybe he'd run off to pick one up from inventory.

Minutes passed.

And I saw him standing and talking with some other Fry's employees.

More minutes passed. No guy showing up with the desired product! 

FINALLY, the guy shows up again and ASKS THE SAME QUESTION. I give a twitchy smile (as I'm getting impatient and pissed off out of my mind) and give my same answer. And also ask him for a copy of the stats that they have listed of the laptop. He "okay"s and disappears.

When I looked up again, the paper with the stats that I'd asked for a copy of had disappeared as well. Oh no he didn't...

He did.

He came back with the laptop, and a copy of the stats. A LITERAL copy of what Fry's types up to put behind their product. Where they miss-spelled Intel. *drops dead* 

He asks for the usual crap, and then tells us (tries to tell us) to take the paper up to the counter and he'll meet us there with the laptop. Instead, it came out like this, "Yooiufbaskdljca."

"Um...what?"

"Yougwupcoiwnterailmeatuupter."

I leaned closer. "What was that?"

Repeats.

"Oh. Okay."

I did not know how I understood that mumble-jumble, but somehow I managed to. Hurray me! 

Paying was a cinch, but once again, I'm convinced that Fry's has the worst service ever. I still don't understand how they have so many customers...=_=

On a happier note, I saw ebook readers in Fry's! XDD So awesome and pretty and SONY and cool and OMGIWANT! It was small and sleek and fit into my hand. *squees in complete glee* So PRETTYFUL! 

It was $300. *cries* I hope the price goes down...I REALLY want one...*drools*

My so-called new laptop has many issues regarding the battery. *pulls out hair* So much for new and improved laptop...
