Introducing Silver and Pinky


  Please meet our new twin laptops, Silver and Pinky.  Yes, those are their names.  Silver makes some sense because the computers are, well, silver.  But Pinky?  Pinky?  As Naomi says, it isn't pink!  What a ridiculous name?  That's what you get, though, when we're tired and need to name a computer and we're thinking about My Little Pony.  Pinky is named after Pinkie Pie, one of the ponies.  And we didn't even spell Pinky right!

Anyhoo, we have 2 more computers in the house which is awesome.  We have an incredible number of computers -- 4 desktops, and now 4 laptops.  However, one laptop is ancient and very slow, and another laptop is dying a slow and painless death.  So really we have 4 desktops and 2 laptops.  Oh, and a Mac, but we mostly use that to run videos.

Sometimes all these computers seem ridiculous, but I am VERY happy to have these new laptops because there are mornings when I am frantically juggling kids on computers.  They do a fair amount of their school online -- not the majority, but a fair amount.

Kevin found a good deal on Silver and Pinky. They are touch screen and were being cleared out.  They still cost us (together) more than $1000 so hopefully they'll work well and live long.

Welcome, Silver and Pinky.
