Who Loves Electronics?

I do...and boy they can make me mad. My folks got a new DVD player. They have one of these super DEE LUX model HD everything on God's green acre TV. So, when we got in tonight, there sits the nicely boxed little DVD player. I opened the box and set about what should have been a 10 minute project....and let's see...it's now nearly 11pm. Is there a working DVD player?
NOPE. In fact, we completely lost cable and now the "channel guide" for each channel is lost. Perhaps never to be found again.
I can TRULY remember when you just had to get up and change the channel and there weren't but about 3 or 4 channels and if you set the antenna "JUST RIGHT," you might get PBS.
That was way back when...in fact another millennium ago!!!
I even remember transistor radios.
So, the cable that Toshiba sent to coordinate with the Toshiba tv isn't ALL that is needed to get everything hooked up it seems.
I bagged it all for the night and we opted to eat ice cream.
That sounded like a MUCH better plan to me anyway.
After all that, who in the world wants to watch a movie anyway?
I guess when we get back tomorrow, I MIGHT attempt it again. But then again, I just might not!
I'm normally quite swift and good with electronics. I love 'em. But for this night, I've had quite enough thank you.
So, what do I do? I go BLOG about it! HA!
Yet another new word added to the English language in THIS millennium.
I don't know...at 45...I look back and love that...and I also look ahead and love that too. Lots I used to enjoy and lots I enjoy doing now.
I don't know, perhaps we should have STARTED with the ice cream and just sat and talked. (But the MEN wanted to watch basketball!)
Such is life....and it's a good one. Good luck with YOUR electronics and if you call me for tech support, it's gonna cost you a BUNDLE. (there's also an extra fee because I am fluent in English! giggle!)
Till next time,
Annie
