Okay, confession time. I bought myself a present today. Well, I ordered myself a present. It won’t be here for a few weeks. And I figured since I was spending all that money on a laptop, why not get one in a pretty color? I’m such a girl.
My Toshiba knows something is up, too, because it’s running a little slow tonight.
Friday, we ordered Hamburger’s new desktop. It’s a Dell, also, because I (actually, my co-worker) found an amazing deal on what we needed for the desktop. The desktop is actually a necessity, as our old computer is 10 years old…it’s limping along. The other day Hamburger discovered he could no longer upload photos to eBay, and I convinced him to jump into the 21st century, computer-wise.
So then I had computer envy. My laptop still works fine, but it’s starting to lag, and the fan runs all the freakin’ time. Since it’ll be four years old soon, I decided to treat myself to a new laptop. Now I’m counting the days until it’s delivered. And trying to think of a name for a green computer. Maybe Kermit?
Sweet pea?
I have a MacBook but many of my co-workers love their colored Dells. Green… let’s see.. should be food related to go along with the whole Hamburger and Softdrink thing.. what about Pickle? Or a cuter name, Gherkin? How cute is that?
Congrats on the beautifully colored Dell…I don’t think I can go back to PCs after getting this Mac :p But it’s so exciting to get a new computer…enjoy it! I’m with Ti…I like Gherkin :p
Congratulations on your new computer. I love my green Dell. Never thought about naming though, I’ll have to think about it.
Yay for treating yourself! And such a pretty colour too!
I have to bring my Toshiba in to the store and hope it can be resuscitated.
I like Sweet Pea and Gherkin, depending on what sort of vibe you’re going for.
My husband bought me a green Dell laptop last year at Christmas and it’s still running great! Enjoy yours!
Kermit is a great name lol! I have to admit I’m a little jealous and I just got my laptop at the beginning of the year! I want a pretty blue one…
‘Computer Envy’ – that’s funny.
Kermit is a good name.
Also jealous!
I like Sweet Pea or heck, just call it “envy”. As in “green with”.
Good for you…I think we will be needing a new home computer soon! Things have been acting strange with it lately…yikes!
Well, the color is more of a Kermit than Chartreuse (and that’s taken anyway!) … I like Ti’s Pickle idea.
Let us know what you decide. Hey, does your car have a name, too? I’ve never really named inanimate objects (except my kids’ blankies!) … too many very animated objects around here!
Congrats!! I LOVE my new laptop (a mac). One plus I have discovered having a laptop is that it even works for while in a power outage! Hmmm names huh? Well, I would vote for Gherkin or Dill?? Hey I just realized…dill dell…how about that? Are you giving out prizes for a name??
Suh-weet! It’s purty. My boss has that same color…I’m jealous. Mine’s a boring silver.
I have a love thing with my new little lap top!
I know you will too.
Guacamole?
Verde? (spanish for green)
Bean? (as in green bean)
Kelly? Jade? Olive?
I love my iMac but never thought to name it!
I don’t have a name but it’s attractive. I love that color green.
Maybe I do have name suggestions: lotus or zen. It looks peaceful.
Oh, how cute is your little green computer!? I like Kermit, but then I’ve always been kind of partial to Kermit.
Yaaaaaaaaaay. A new computer is always fun-mine is blue.
