Sailor Surfs on Celeron; Slow Speed for Sure
There is a computer room here on base that has Dell computers with Celeron processors in them. Personally, I’ve never trusted a computer chip that sounded like an inedible green vegetable, but that’s just me. The whole room is full of computers and I think they all share the same 56K dial up connection.1
To make matters worse, my maid service was late this morning and I have no guarantee that my bed was made up fresh for this evening’s slumber or that I have fresh towels waiting for me. I tell ya, between these slow computers, slow Internet, and unnacceptable maid services, I feel like I’m in the Marines or something.
It’s too bad that these Dell computers don’t have bluetooth. I’ve been taking small snapshots with my camera phone for your enjoyment. I’ve got at least three entries waiting for posting but I have to add pictures first. I’ll see if I can’t make my way back to the Apple Store for some built in bluetooth action. Or, send me $3000 so I can buy a new 17″ MacBook Pro. I’ll even design a special banner for you and I’ll guarantee you that I will place it on my site for one full year in your honor. Order now, operators are standing by.
1Joey, I really hope my site doesn’t load as slow for you as it does for me.
