Ding Dong, the Bitch is Dead
Which old bitch? Why, the picture bitch. That’s right folks, my beloved (and 5 yr straight pain in my arse) Compaq Presario 2500 laptop has joined that great big tech pile in the sky.
She was my first laptop. The only one I continued to pour time and effort into even when it was clear she was a piece of crap. She’s the one who ate 80k of Immoral Ops II back in 04. She’s the one who I turned to storing all my character photos on and running to the left of my desktop, displaying the pics, while I work on books.
Everyone who knows me thinks its funny that I’ve hung onto her this long considering she’s been nothing but trouble from about 2 mos into owning her. Because she was my first and because I lost my laptop virginity with her, I felt obligated to make things work between us. Her death, while sad, does clear a spot on my desk for the new HP laptop. I’m not sure if the mac or of the hp notebooks will assume the role of picture bitch info or if I’ll hook up another desktop but I do know, I will miss having all my character pics right there, on display while I work.
A moment of silence please.
