i murdered Stephen's computer. it was an accident, i assure you! the poor old dear couldn't handle my fancy new MP3 player and just up and died. granted, she was on her last legs to begin with and has been looking quite haggard lately (since we started bringing her to our Pampered Chef shows), but my MP3 player (who has yet to be properly named), delivered the death blow when i tried to synch her with my old player. after getting to 50% synched, the old girl cried out and lost her mind.it was quite pathetic.
Stephen is now fervently searching out a new PC; he's enlisted the help of Nil's honey, JS, and is scouring the sales online trying to find something that will support our Pampered Chef software (and other important applications, like MS Word) and my obscene music addiction. i, in the meantime, have an MP3 player that is only half synched. additionally, some of the songs are dupes. how that happened, i have no idea.
let's all cross our fingers, 'cause i don't know how i'm going to get through this week with only 3000 songs to choose from.
it may not actually be an issue, though since the playback time isn't anywhere near the 14 hours listed on both Creative and Best Buy's websites. i already put a call into them on Friday (during the 2 hour bus ride home) and received a half-assed e-mail telling me to cut back on things like the brightness of the screen (which i've had at the lowest setting since i got her). the customer service rep told me to call back if there was still a problem. surprise! there's still a problem. Today's rep told me to bring it back to Best Buy; that "14 hours is an aproximation".
now, i'm unhappy.
