Hi Mom, Welcome to the 21st Century!
She finally did it. After years of promising to get a new computer “next year”, my mom finally up and bought a new MacBook:
Not only did she get a brand new computer (the previous one she’s had since 1995), but she upgraded from dial-up internet to wireless high-speed internet through Verizon. To overwhelm completely, she also now has 200 TV channels to watch on her 21-inch television set. Amazing.
The best part is she did it all without telling me or my brother. She has been planning the thing for months and even stayed home yesterday to wait for the Verizon guys to install all the equipment and to set up her new laptop. Then she sent an email, of all things, to let me know she was “wired” (even though she’s really wireless, but whatever, it was cute).
*sniff sniff* I’m a very proud daughter right now.
