Quote of the day:
Stop sleeping with the laptop on the other side of the bed - From Jean - from Ernesto
How do I part with this dear computer - PC?
For, it has:
- accompanied me through the past three years in my new life
- witnessed the birth of hundreds of blog posts
- helped write e-mails
- checked out the Internet
- introduced me to YouTube
- got me going with Power Point
- given birth to my second book
How - oh how?
My dear, sweet little MacBook lies quietly beside us as I put the finishing touches on editorial revisions of the book. It waits patiently for me - for the moment I will finally let go of my trusted PC buddy. There's even a dashingly new printer to go with it - one that can print out photographs and such - scan, copy - a real techno-whiz! All the software is installed, warranties registered, e-mail account set up, passwords encrypted - webcam all included. The little Mac is ready to go. The soft, little green light of its power cord beckons and glows gently, invitingly. It's really not pushy - no pressure, Tamarika.
I wonder what will be the defining moment that will nudge me towards this inevitable techno-life change?
I just gotta let go ... o ... o ... o ...
A year ago at Mining Nuggets: Good luck!
Winston,
LOL!

Oh my, Tamarika, I do fear you have a serious problem there. Perhaps it is time to speak to the good doctor about increasing your medications.
I really do understand getting emotionally attached to them, but in the end they are all nothing but a bunch of metal and plastic pieces organized in a particularly useful fashion. They come, they serve, they go. Like us...
