Back in business

As reported earlier, my laptop took a shit on Friday. I shopped around for a new one yesterday but didn't buy one. It wasn't the end of the world, as I still had my desktop computer.

This morning I go to turn it on, to see what was new in the world of internet pornography and it didn't work. I checked all the connections and tried it again and again and again. Nothing.

How can both of my computers die on the same weekend? Maybe it was like when one spouse dies shortly after losing the other. Johnny Cash lived only five months after his wife June died.

Anyhow, the situation had just turned serious. How could I function without the internet? How would I get my news? Was there a terrorist attack overnight? Who won last night's NBA games? How can I even find out what day it is?

Off to Best Buy. They had one reduced from $699 to $549. The nice thing about using computers that are a quite a few years old is that even the cheapest new computer is an improvement.

So here is my new toy. It hasn't even been infected by porn viruses yet. But how long can that last?
