Blog Guy, I’m shopping for a laptop. I know you’re really up on technology, so what should I be looking for?
Well, the model is VERY important.
Uh, sure, you mean like ThinkPad T61 vs. the PowerBook or whatever?
No, I mean the chick model they use to show off the laptop! For instance, I like this new model shown today with the skimpy halter top and bare midriff. Plenty to look at there.
But…I thought there was lots of other stuff I had to know about, like RAM and processing speed and everything.
Nah, that’s for geeks. Believe me, I’m still plenty happy with my …. wait, what is this gizmo, anyway? Yeah, my trusty Tandy TRS-80. Just get yourself one of those.
It’s bad luck not to join the Oddly Enough blog network.
