playing with the computer

I got my first offer of a free product in exchange for a review! A little suspicicious, since I was asked to write about a program before I had an opportunity to test it, but still a first for me and my lame blog. I don’t have a need for a screen-capture program (what I was offered) but asked my husband if he was interested. He has PhD in Engineering, likes to play with software, and designed and maintains several websites. I can’t tell you how gratifying it was for me to discover that he didn’t realize the PRINT SCREEN key on our keyboards hasn’t worked in at least 10 years. So obviously neither of us needs the program. But in gratitude for having something to remind hubby I knew and he didn’t the next time he tries to tell me what I should do on my computer and for the benefit of anyone out there who does need the software, I’ll post the link:

smart appliances

I’m trying to win $5000 worth of new GE Appliances at http://www.partselect.com/GE-Parts.htm#GE-Giveaway. They ask that I send a comment. One of the Official Blogging Topics – Tell us your best “If my appliance could talk” story – especially appealed to me since my GE Profile (Harmony) washer and dryer really DO talk, to each other and silently but still. When you finish a wash load and open the lid, the appliances confer and set the dryer automatically. It’s really cool, saves time, and amazes me even after six (or is it seven?) years.

So there I was thinking about all the things my washer or dryer could say about me – I’m too lazy to sort by color, I don’t like being told what to do so always change the suggested settings (even if I then change them back) – when I get a message loud and clear: HEY YOU, BLITHELY MUSING AT YOUR COMPUTER – YOU PUT A LOAD IN TO WASH THREE HOURS AGO THAT’S STILL WAITING TO GO INTO THE DRYER (and I did beep to tell you I was done)!

Now that’s a smart machine!
