Yesterday was one of the hardest days of my recent life. I guess it wasn’t even the fact that I needed a computer as much as I just liked to have it in my possession to know that it is near me. It is my safety net. It keeps me safe when things get crazy. Now, I’m all alone without a machine in the world to save me.
Everyone I know is telling me that I can use their computers to do whatever I need to do but its just not the same. I like to think of it as cheating on a wife. We have been in this relationship for around 3 years now and it would seem so wrong to just quit on the first signs of trouble. It’s the equivalent of being married for that long them your wife falls in a coma due to heart failure. All she needs is a new heart. The closest donor is only 7 days away (Cape Town, South Africa) and everyone is begging me to find something new already. They want me to use what they have. What they don’t realize is what I had was all I ever needed. It was my everything and I refuse to throw away the memories and the fun times just because she has had one small failure of a heart (or a hard drive). The body is not ruined, some parts just don’t work as well as others. That is called aging but like Henry Ford showed the world, things work better with interchangeable parts. Humans work the same, as do laptops. I know she is worth the wait, these past 3 years have been some of the best in my life, but I still have my fingers crossed hoping that she will make a full recovery and pull through to be a part of the symbiotic relationship that has been going strong for so long.
I will forever remain loyal to my 600m.

The laptop died!?!? Perhaps only you and I know the trials of getting that little buddy of yours in time for college. Just one of the many successes pulled off in the 11th hour! If you can't fix it, you can have a funeral at sea, and I'll be there in spirit. Your Navy grandpa would be proud. Keep the blog coming -- it's enjoyable.

BTW - This post has an eerie familiarity to your love poem to that old, rickety, taped phone you had. I believe you subjected me to your phone adoration monologue a couple of times. What is it with you and this unnatural affection for the technology? And always they are female . . .
