A letter to my computer

Dear a million year old computer,

We have had some found memories together. I remember picking you out online when the internet was still new and exciting. You were my first big thing I ever purchased on my own. I remember getting you in the mail in a million different boxes. We had some great times my freshman year in college. Remember those late nights staying up IMing and downloading music? I sure do.

But now things are quite different. Time has really flown by. I can't believe we have spent more than 7 years together. Back when I got you, 15 gigs of hard drive space was a lot. I'm sorry to say that it isn't that way anymore. Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating when only 3 out of your 6 USB ports work. You are getting old and slow.

At this point in my life right now, I need a computer that is going to be lighting speed with tons of hard drive space. And you just aren't cutting it anymore. I don't even want to know why you won't even let AIM run properly. What did it ever do to you? My friends cant even tell that I am online when I am. No wonder people havent been IMing me.

While I will always have a special place in my heart for you ol' Dell. I think it may be time for a new computer. I already have one in mind. I don't want to hurt your feelings too bad but its name rhymes with shack.

But don't worry. I'll be with you till the end. I'll be there for you holding your mouse gingerly in my hand, recalling all those wonderful times we've had together.

Thanks for everything,

Bex
