Yotsuba's introduction to Windows 8 left her confused...

Yotsuba: Oh my, what have they done? I don't know where all my stuff is, how will I get my work done?

SugarPup is going to have to get this figured out and give her some tips and tricks on using the new technology!

Pretty exciting day for Kate... she won tickets to see Sugarland and her favorite band Little Big Town this Saturday from Thunder 106.3 in NJ. They also included a "Meet and Greet" which put her over the top!

Congrats Kate... I can't wait!

There actually was a time when these were far more useful. I haven't seen a need for one in over 2 years.

SugarPup examines the video card to the office computer, seems there was a loud POP! and a little while later the monitor went a little crazy. "I think these exploded capacitors are the culprit" Good find SugarPup, I couldn't agree more!
