Not How It Ought To Be

The computer was going slow this morning. Ailz took a look at it- removed some impacted crud and got it to move a little faster. "Really, it's time to buy a new one," she said.

A new one? But I've only had this one for just over two years.

Yes, I know, I know. That's how things are these days. But I'm not happy with it. The old-time craftsman in me is affronted. Your tools are an extension of the body. You care for them, they last a lifetime. And then you pass them on to your heirs.

Sometimes it is best to head into the gaming direction. Not completely (who should be able to pay this?), but a good thing in the middle. At least it still offers some reserves for the next few coming years. The multimedia section is what grows the most in demands towards a machine - without you taking notice of it and without you getting asked for "do I want / need the enhancements that technolgy offers?"
