MY FRIEND - MY LAPTOP
We sailed around the world together - going from port to port! Passed through the locks of the amazing Panama Canal. Shared memories while sipping latte's, flipping through images of San Juan, Pillars of Hercules, the Rock of Gibralter and even things as drinking from "Das Boot"!
Through good times and bad (a small chance of upset from a wee typhoon)! Suntanning in Greece to amazing foot therapies in Malaysia! Rode a train around South Korea - visiting friends in Wanju and saw the DMZ! Sent live feed to chat with family at home from U.A.E. Climbed tall heights to see the view in such things as gondolla's and glass elevators!
You helped my spouse obtain greatness while storing and providing assitance when writing papers and creating formulas! No matter what the hour - there when she needed you most and when fun was to be had.
You sang songs to us and played videos! Gave us laughter and tears!
Yet - like all of the best things in life - they can come to a abrupt stop! Your bright smile faded and quickly went dark. There was no recessitating - for your whole system failed. Even though you had one of the best cares through Norton - a virus got you down! You gasped for one last breathe and then silence. No purring of the motor - no lights on your screen...silence.
We cried "No!!" "This can't be so!" We can save you - to a doctor we will go! Then the results from testing came - to repair you - we would have lost all that made you ours - you would be provided a new motherboard with no guarantees - set back to factory settings and yet - since it was a virus that attacked, there could not be a guarantee!
So, our friend, our laptop - you were at my side for a long time - almost 3 years! No need to change your operating profile - never running out of steam! It is now time for you to rest...my friend, my laptop - may you go on to be bigger and better things as you join the cycle of recycling!
Our laptop - Our Friend - A Replacement Model sits in your place - Yet You Sit in a Place in Our Memories :)
