Laptop plea
Published by Becky S May 24th, 2004 in tech, miscellaneous fluffDear Laptop,
During the year we’ve been together, I’ve had very few complaints. It’s true that you sometimes become frozen and unresponsive for no discernible reason. When this happens, haven’t I given you your space? Haven’t I pressed the off button and allowed you to rest?
When you refuse to read my CDs, I try to respect your decisions. I certainly don’t expect you to share my taste in music, though it wouldn’t hurt you to keep an open mind.
Furthermore, I’ve always been compassionate about the deficiencies of your substandard graphics card. There are days when I long for better photo software performance and dream about faster menu navigation; sometimes I imagine having both at the same time. But these are just fantasies, and I’ve never expected you to fulfill them.
So please don’t throw away our relationship. If I’ve done something wrong, talk to me about it. Give me an error message or leave me a note in the application log, but don’t shut me out. I know we can make this work.
Fondly,
Becky S
Hang on in there - I’m sure you can work it out. One word of advice, though…. Stop those graphic fantasies. They may seem innocent enough but, before you know it, you’ll be running your fingers over the keyboard of another. Then, in a moment of madness, you’ll whip out your visa card and it will all be over. I talk from bitter experience.
Becky–my laptop has a huge graphics card!
Now, I know this post is almost a year old, but can I interest you in a Powerbook or iBook?
