Dell D400 Pink Laptop

Tweet

Kirstie was gazing at her new present lovingly. Gary had given it to her as a surprise, because he liked giving Kirstie surprises. He’s a bit of an old romantic is Gary.

Okay, so it was one of his cheap computers (no expense spared there then Gary?).

But it was still a surprise.

Well, okay, maybe it wasn’t that much of a surprise. Gary gives Kirstie a new computer about once a month. Kirstie thinks he’s beeing nice – and Gary smiles nicely and says, that’s because he is nice – but really Gary is just using Kirstie as a guinea pig to try out their latest cheap laptop.

The one Kirstie was looking at now was a Dell D400. It has a pink lid, and is very eye-catching. It is the sort of possession one feels like hugging. And being a laptop, hugging is really quite do-able.

And that was the first thing Kirstie did when she pulled it free from the wrapping paper (Gary always wrapped his presents up, because that’s the sort of person he is: thoughtful, kind…clever…he knows Kirstie trills at the sight of a wrapped present).

So what does this one do then luv? Kirstie asked

Well, pet, said Gary, it’s ready to use straight out of the box for all your emailing, word processing, spreadsheets and so on, but you’ve also got Wifi wireless internet access, and Windows XP Pro, and a massive 40 gig hardrive.  How about that then?

Cool, said Kirstie. It’s lovely.

And it’s got a wicked pink lid, eh?

I know, trilled Kirstie, it’s gorgeous!

She continued to hug it like she once hugged her pet pony, and kept stroking the lid with a huge smile on her face. But Gary was eager to see her try it out.

Well, plug it in then, he said a little impatiently.

Okay, said Kirstie, what’s the rush?

I need a letter written, said Gary.

That was typical of Gary too, always ended up spoiling the surprises. Kirstie gave him a look, as she booted-up the Dell, and entered Word.

Who’s it to then? said Kirstie a little grudgingly.

Venetia Tours.

Who are they, asked Kirstie.

The travel agent’s I’m booking our holiday with.

Kirstie looked up at Gary with surprise, and broke out into another wide smile.

Venice! We’re going to Venice?

Gary nodded his head pleased with Kirstie’s reaction.

Kirstie loved surprises.

And Gary loved providing them…
