Don’t know much about computers but I do know how to wield a hammer. I would say that our lives are better with them. And yet the more notable moments are also the more frustrating ones; Out of disk space, Unable to open file, Blue screen of death…AAUUGGHH. Computers, can’t live with them, can’t live without them.

The loves of my life.

I met my first one in high school and I have always had one ever since. Back then she helped me with homework, get organized, kept track of schedules. She worked 24/7 to help me get things done. We spoke a simple basic language.

The one that I had in college was more demanding. As we got to know each other, there would complaints that we needed more space, we needed an upgrade, and I had to do windows? If things went wrong, she would get mad and turn blue. There was that time with the virus, she deleted my files, she sent my friends nasty emails about me.

Over the years, each one that I had was more sophisticated that the previous one. You could say that I upgraded each time. Overall, I would say that my life is better with them. But there are those times when things go wrong that seem to be most frustrating and makes me wonder if I should do without one; Out of disk space, Unable to open file, the blue screen of death… Computers, can’t live with them, can’t live without them.
