Well, we finally did it, we bought a new computer. This hasn't happened since way back in August of 98. That's right, 1998 was the last time we purchased a computer. Here is an analogy to better understand the significance; it would be just like buying a brand new car in 1972, and driving it everyday to work, the grocery store, etc, and keeping it until the present day. Bill CLinton was the President the last time I bought a computer. Somehow, we become attached emotionally to our possessions. I will miss the hand-crank on the side of the old computer, and the rabbit ears too (the new one doesn't have those features). The Smithsonian Institute asked to have the old one when we're through with it. I told them they will have to be patient as I will move the old one to the basement for use in my office. In the end, they are all just fancy typewriters anyway.
