ChapterZero

Surprisingly— usually I do nothing when I’m on vacation— today has been a busy day for me. I helped my sister to clean the house of a lady that goes to church with us, who had a stroke. Then we went out to eat with her at a Caribbean restaurant (she’s also from the Caribbean). After we dropped her back home, on the way home, we passed by a place that was selling discount computers. Since I’ve been drafted to help my cousin back in Barbados to get a computer, I stopped to look-see.

I ended up buying a pretty good system. The only problems are cosmetic, so far: the chassis is white and scuffed, neither of which is good; the mouse and keyboard supplied are white and a sparkly gray, respectively; and the speakers I got are black. So I’m going to Fry’s right now, to see how much it would cost to buy: a black printer, a black mouse, a black keyboard, a black monitor, and maybe also a black cdrom and floppy drive. My budget right now is $335, so I’ll be cutting it close, if it’s even possible to meet at Fry’s. We shall see.
