Not as shocked as when he says:

Gpa: He looks weird (a cop walks by him)
Mom: Thats a cop, dad.
Gpa: I know! he looks like he's up to no good.
Mom: Dad!!!

This happened while we stood waiting for some one to come help us.

My grandfather also made sure I had a printer as well! I'm so excited!!! I love this beautiful machine!!! I just need to get used to the keyboard.

It's an HP.

Did you get a wireless printer there smaller and take up less room plus you can be 3 rooms away and it will print

YEs, I did get a wireless!

Both the lap top and the printer are HP. The guy knocked off 40 dollars off the total amount to make it a package deal. which was awesome... we god the printer for 59.99 and the computer for 779.99, the regular prices were 79.99 and 799.99. SO that was cool.
