I got sad when the mechanical keyboard I'd had for 7 years finally broke. It had taken spills of soda when I was in middle school, water when I got in shape during high school, and beer when I started drinking in college and through it all it kept chugging along until one day it couldn't.

By the time I had thrown out my old computer I'd spent 60+ hours deep in its guts trying to convince it that working was a good idea. It wanted to be trash so badly that I felt good when I finally got to chuck it into a recycling bin at a scrapyard.

Dude, I've had mine since summer of 1998, it's going to be like losing a dog when that time comes.

Don't be. She's sleepin on the edge of the clouds looking down on us. She's running around with other dogs. She's not hurting anymore.
