New Electronics

It's always fun to get new things, and Robert always loves some electronics. But don't we expect them all to work when we get them! To start, I got a new work computer about 3 months ago. I was so excited b/c my other one was running so slow! The new one seemed to be working well and then I noticed it just getting slower and slower - couldn't even open an excel or word document in under 30 sec to a minute. So I decided to call our help line on Tuesday to see if they could find any problems. So he does some disk scan and tells me I can reboot my computer and it will finish running and hopefully be better. Ok, after 4 hrs of waiting for my computer to reboot, I call back in and then come to the conclusion that my computer is now really messed up. So now after 3 days, talking to about 5 different people, we've come to the conclusion I need a new hard drive - after 3 months!!! Frustrating!
Robert bought a new Mac on New Year's day which he has been wanting to buy for over a year. He has been very patient waiting to get it, even after his plan to get it in New York. After getting it home, he tries to use it and discovers the screen does not work. Thankfully, they were very nice and told him to bring it back and they would give him another computer! We like that! He hasn't tried this one yet, but hopefully it will be just fine.
Now for the 3rd one - we had to get a new washer and dryer b/c the old ones were ruining our clothes and making spots on all of them. So we got new front loaders, but Robert noticed they were both scratched. We are getting 2 new front covers for them which is great. So Robert gets them all hooked up and I decided to put some jeans in the dryer to "shrink" them. Within one minute, the dryer is smelling and smoke is coming out. Robert has called to get it checked on Monday. They said this could be normal (really??) so we will see! It's been an interesting week with all these electronics! I'm praying next week will be better as I am having to go to the office to do some work since computer is not doing so well (not easy with 2 little girls) and then drying clothes over at my parents in shifts!
