Computer

Dear Levi,


1.7.2014


I wish you were here to lend your amazing tech-savvy advice.... I miss you so much. My little Toshiba is pretty much dead. Since my parents replaced my camera and Davina mentioned she is waiting for blog posts, I have been wanting to go buy a new one... saving and scrimping money from my new job like crazy. But what do I know about computers? When I walked into Best Buy, they ignored me. One very young kid who didn't look more than fourteen was pushed over to answer my questions, and I felt bad for him. I'm sure he's probably a child prodigy like you, but.... I felt so out of my league. I went to a second Best Buy, and another geeky guy spent an hour helping me out. He was a little more easy going and just smiled and my blonde questions. I'm surprised that none of the computers have CD players! how do you watch a dvd??? He recommended an external CD player. I guess that make sense, but it seems such a hassle.... I wasn't sure if I was asking the right questions. I wracked my brain for things you told me, thinking of your gorgeous computer you built yourself. What is the best company? What should I be asking about RAM and memory? I found one that I liked because it is small like mine, 13 inches, but then the screen pops off to become a tablet! And I've always wanted a tablet. But what if it breaks? He said the hinges were kind of fragile, which worried me. It was also a little out of my price range. I walked out of the store more informed and more.... sad than ever, if that's even possible. I miss my best friend. So amazing. So smart. Incredibly talented. I wanted to walk into Radio Shack and see you, like that summer, and know you'd help me and answer all my questions and point out the ones I am not smart enough to think of on my own. I miss you being there for me. I miss your brilliance... the way you shone, you dazzled me.


I miss you.


Your star,
Rigel
