The computer technician has come and gone. It was very quick because as it turns out, the part was already installed. The problem was, the person who put the frontspiece on forgot to remove the bit of hard plastic which exposes the card reader AND it could only be removed by opening the computer and removing the chassis. I'm still amazed that at the final check with (I assume) the packing slip in hand, someone didn't look at that covered slot and say "Oh, that should be open so the user can insert a memory card" But all is well. The technician was nice and laughed about the silliness and it didn't cost me anything.
Now we have to put the computer in the bedroom where it belongs. We first have to arrange the desk area because this computer is a different size (smaller) than the old computer and we will try to put it ON the desk, not in the desk. But that won't happen until Saturday most likely because I'm going to see Baby, It's You tonight (the story of the creation of the girl group The Shirelles. I'm home tomorrow but I don't want to do it after work. Thursday I'm seeing the new Donna Murphy musical The People in the Picture and Friday we are having dinner with friends. Saturday it will be (after a morning at the laundromat).
