Le sigh

My computer is reaching the end of his days.

It's a sad state of affairs, because me and good old Dell have been through a lot together. We traveled abroad, we wrote some good school papers, some not so good school papers. We've fought the Blue Screen of Death together and came out victorious. We discovered music we liked, we listened to music we were ashamed we liked. We got addicted to Snood and Ebay together, and then went through a twelve-step program to quit.

And even though Dell has lost his quotations key, and he's not as fast as he once was. Even though the "K" key is not working like it should, and he's started to show the signs of aging, I am going to be saddened and disheartened when he bites the dust (please don't bite the dust yet, Dell. I need to get a new job first).

He's fought the good fight, and now it's (almost) time for him to rest.

So here's to Dell! He might not be as flashy or as fast as the new 'puters that threaten to replace him and make him obsolete, but he's been a good pal.
