Hello, I'm Wendy's computer and do I have a story to tell you or what? The answer is a resounding YES. You see, I'm getting a bit rusty and I'm not as hip as I once was... I think you human types call it getting old. As a consequence to my late nights, frequent viral attacks, and trying to keep a family of 4 happy day after long grueling day, I'm running slower than my primary user would prefer and I often witness her making faces at me. She used to look so pretty... now she looks as tired as I feel. Sometimes she even looks angry. Doesn't she know I'm doing my best to keep up? I've caught her emailing her friends and telling them that she's almost ready to get rid of me.
Maybe what she really needs to do is show me a bit of compassion? Don't you have any compassion for me Wendy? You seem to have so much for all the humans in your life? Yet here I am running your programs, helping you earn a living (ok, excuse me while a chuckle), and store all your precious family photos, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets (by the way, you really should take a class), and all those games your kids play. Did you know your son kicked my hard drive again? Oh... that hurts! I mean he's a cute kid, but common!
So, you all know what I am, but you don't really know who I am. My name is Black Dell and I'm attached to a good-sized flat screen monitor... a couple years ago a virus fried my motherboard. I thought I was a goner for sure, but fortunately I was still under warranty. I'm also attached to an HP printer. My primary user loves HP, which is another slap in the face! However, me and HP Officejet have had a few fun moments together. I could tell you some stories!
Just the other day HP Officejet was telling me about awesome coupon deals including a $30 stackable site-wide coupon deal that provides online shoppers $30 off orders totalling $150 or more at the HP Home Store. The online coupon code for this store is SV2132. Of course, this information doesn't sit too well with my middle-aged Officejet friend (who is much younger than I am). He's been on his best behavior every since he caught wind of this offer. The special savings are good through 10/31 (restrictions and exclusions apply) and I think he's hoping our user will forget. Is that possible?
Do you ever dream of being something you're not? Sometimes we computers daydream about being HP's. I'd like to be the HP TouchSmart IQ800t series. It's super sleek looking and I'd be fast as lightening! Oh that PC is totally out of my league and I know it. If Wendy goes to the HP website, she'll know it too. Oh, and Christmas is just a few months away!
Maybe we can distract her? You think? Any ideas? I've probably already said to much.
