After work, Juan, Siena and I loaded up in the car to take a drive down to Delaware (home of TAX-FREE SHOPPING!) to purchase another computer. Hallelujah! (Don't get me wrong, there will always be a special place in my heart for the key-less laptop.)
We've been setting it up all night; between bluetooth activating, and changing personal settings, I think we're ready for the most important installation- CS3 (luckily, we still own that.)
But back to "bluetooth stuff"... I am completely amazed at the technological progress of our generation. I took the picture below with my PHONE, edited it in my phone, and zapped it across to the computer in less than 15 seconds... wirelessly.
And speaking of phones:
Our phone service-plan-whatever is up at the end of the month, so Juan and I decided to try a new provider to see if we could get better reception in our home (uh, yeah, I guess it's a little better.) Anyway, when Juan puts his mind to finding a good deal, he usually immerses himself into surfing the Internet for the best out there. The phone plan hunt was no different; he has been searching, studying and sluthing for weeks, and it finally paid off on Monday. He found us a new plan (AT&T) and some awesome free phones that came with it. Now, 'free phones with new plans' is not unusual, but knowing Juan, there had to be something more. They have app capabilities (which would combine the power of his Palm and his phone... so we will not have to replace the Palm afterall), the data service plan was the cheapest out there, and it came with free bluetooth earpieces. Ooooo, the bells and whistles on these things. Oh yeah, and did I mention that we didn't have to pay activation fees? Oh yeah, and that we get $50 back from mail-in rebates?
Want something like this when your plan runs out? (I sound like an advertisement) Go here. Tried, tested and approved by the Chavez fam.

Juan sounds like Dad. He LOVES comparison shopping and finding the best deals. The only thing that would make D.I. a celestial paradise is if they would let him dicker on the prices. Me, I'm definitely a "get in, get out, get on your way" kind of shopper. Dad, of course, always finds the best deals.
I am glad things are getting back to normal for you guys and you are getting all of your stuff replaced.
I am not a deal shopper at all, I really should try, but I just feel like I waste my time and I want INSTANT gratification lol. Yeah for the good deal though, sounds like Juan did really well :)
