A Technological Issue

One of the things that has happened since I began blogging is that we have discovered we (the Country Boy and I) cannot share very well. Let me clarify this. We share child care, cars, chores etc fairly well; we even share desserts well (mostly); we do not share 1 laptop well at all.

I want to get onto the computer once the kids go to bed to write posts, read blogs, and do other "important" bloggy type things. CB will tell you that he has some equally important thing he needs to do.

I have a small laptop from work. It is one of those laptops that are given to all year 9 students to allow them to play games use technology in their learning. Unfortunately it's screen is miniscule, it is 3 years old, and it takes 5 minutes to load facebook. In addition to this, I have to return it to work when I take leave at the end of the year. Obviously it is far from ideal.

CB thinks that because I have the school laptop, he should be able to use our home laptop (which was bought in my name). I think because it is bought in my name, I should use it. Obviously we are at an impasse.

In the spirit of marital harmony, I have come up with a solution to this problem - I am about to purchase another laptop. Then we can just disagree over who has which laptop.
