I have recently lost a very close friend, I guess I didn’t know him for too long but we had a strong bond none the less. He was with me almost everywhere I went and he passed on only weeks after I named him Matte. As luck would have it, my dear friend was also about 2 weeks past the one year warranty when his motherboard needed replacing. Yup, my buddy is dead. I might still fix him if I can get a deal on the surgery (or find a cheap replacement part and open him up myself, yikes but WTF, can’t make it any worse).
Temporary or not I needed a new friend to join me on my adventures ASAP, so I began my search. I searched high and low, I made many stops along the way, Future Shop and dell.ca were two of the most memorable, I even ended up at my mom’s place and got re-acquainted with an old friend for a little while but now I’ve found a new buddy! He is small and blue and while he may not have the biggest or the fastest parts around he’s still all the um, PC that I need… Get it, I was talking about a computer the whole time! Slapping my knee while lol’ing totally satisfied with the cleverness of these here words.
Okay, lets get serious for a bit. I bought an ACER Aspire One, the one with Windows installed and the 120GB hard drive and a 1GB RAM. Honestly, it’s really cool, it’s really small but it’s kind of neat looking and really, it’s all the PC I’ll ever need when I’m on the road. Not to mention that at 399.99 the price was right. I haven’t figured out how to get Drupal to post images on these here blog posts so I can’t show you mine but here’s one just like it. Everyone this is my new buddy, new buddy this is everyone.
Later all,
Ed.
PS – anyone have a good name for him?
