OK, so you have purchased the computer because you simply HAD TO HAVE IT, right? Now you are paying how much a month for an internet connection because WHAT GOOD IS IT WITHOUT THAT, right? And you are using all of this to do what? Oh, email, right. You have to check your email. I mean, it is cheaper than that old snail mail and buying all those stamps, right? Wrong!

my daughter get through college, not be her entertainment center. Then I realized I was guilty of much the same misguided focus on the use of the computer. Only my focus was on email and shopping and the annual year-end holiday letter.
