A humorous tale about my new laptop computer, written in rhyming fashion

Lol. That was a fun read.

I love your sense of humour, Ruby. :-)

Awesome, loved the way you have expressed what went on! That man was being rude.

Awesome! I amazed by how put all of this together in such comedy.

What a comic tale, Ms. Ruby! I sure enjoyed it!

Funny cartoons, too.

Very funny Ruby. Your hub reminded me of an old advert on our TV . Must have been around 1995.. when the CD ROM would open and the man put his coffee mug on it!

O Ruby...I so love this. I know know know that my precious nephew who patiently told me the same thing over and over and over surely must have felt as your computer man !!!! How funny..laughing laughing laughing.

Angels are headed your way this evening and to all computer techs who come across folks like us.

Hi Ruby! I loved this! I know this bit of pain well--too well!

That was funny. I liked the blood drop on his lip.

I can relate to this so well! It's good to see the funny side when it can all become so frustrating. Thanks for the smile!

Ruby, we didn't have computers when I was in school. I use Uncle Google when I need to learn tech stuff. It helps to download user manuals for our tech products if they're not included.

Yes, I did realise! I had a good laugh.

Hope you have a good Monday.

Very interesting and funny read. Enjoyed a lot. Thanks for sharing it. Voted up.

You are one step ahead of me Ruby...that is in getting a laptop. I just have my desktop computer and one of these days may venture into the great beyond...away from the desk, that is. Ha! Loved the humor in this hub. :))

Ha..ha..too funny!

I remember long ago when I used to sit in the office and we just acquired a new software called "Windows", my boss' brother (in his senior years) came to my desk and asked me, "Tell me, what's the difference between this window and that window (pointing to an actual window)?" I thought he was joking until I realized he was waiting for my answer. :)

Good enjoyable hub!

Ohhhh...can I relate to this one! My computer took a metaphorical swan dive several weeks ago, and it was a nail biting experience to have it replaced. I loved this one, Ruby, Touché! Hugs. :-)

Very clever, m'luv.

Have you noticed, Ruby, how many of us can relate to your tale?

When it comes to computer savvy too often we non-techies fail.

So before this computer guy says goodbye and leaves the premises,

Get the name of his replacement hoping he will not be your nemesis.

LOL!!! Ruby..you crack me up! and your timing is perfect!...Peace, Paula

This is so funny, I know how you feel this is something I can definitely relate to. I am sitting here chuckling.

My old computer use to turn itself on and one day I was at work and my husband called and he said "your computer came on" and I told him well turn it off and talked him through how to. He told me that it was off and we hung up, in a few minutes he called back and "your computer came back on" again I talked him through how to turn it off" and then finally told his UNPLUG IT! This thought comes to me when I think of computer problems: To err is human, but to really screw up, it takes a computer.

Thumb-up UFABI and shared.

This one really touches the funny bone...poor computer guy!

Everything new is such a vexation, but as soon as we understand it, everything seems to be easy. Enjoy your new laptop, Ruby. Just don't use it in the bath tub....

Hahahaha I hear you and I feel so bad for my hubby, as he is my computer man LOL.

This reminds me when I first tried a smart phone, and I gave up and told my husband I wanted my dumb phone back, and I got it. Turns out we did order a terrible Smart Phone initially, but now I have a good one and am happy and still learning : ) It may have been me who was the dumb one and not the phone ...

Clever and witty one here, dear Ruby!

AToo funny, Ruby. At least you have a computer man to turn to (for the time being anyway); I do all my own set up, transfers, etc.

I'll bet your computer guy will miss you as much as you miss him when he retires.

That's what my son is for. New computer means a visit from my son. No hesitation. I know nothing about how they work....I'm with you all the way, Ruby, and you had me laughing out loud.

This was funny Ruby. Thanks for sharing. My wife is even less techy than I when it comes to the computer and gets upset when things go wrong and especially if I try yo give her advice. She's much smarter with a smart phone than me though..with them I am hopeless. Voted up....poor computer man.

I'm no techie either! As long as it works I'm fine; if it doesn't I get really stressed. Just bought a new desktop but because my laptop is too old I have to transfer using a separate hard drive - ugh! I'll be bald by the time I've finished doing that!

Great poem! I didn't feel sorry for the guy at all; people shouldn't assume we are all 'up to speed' with this stuff and that's what they're there for, to help.

very clever.. witty .. and entertaining.. love the quote I can't fix stupid LOL

This was very humorous! Good hub!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - You can do it you can. You can. Desktop, lap top, not like out of the frying pan into the flame. Or so I hear.

Great story, Ruby.

I have no computer skills. My son is an IT for a large firm.

When I ask for help his first question is, "Mom, what did you do to the computer?" I don't know enough to even get into trouble.

A nice tribute to your old computer and a warm welcome to your

new PC.
