My 4 year old laptop wouldn’t start up, it hasn’t woken up since Monday. I think it’s time to say good bye to Sebastian.
Not sure if it’s lack of technology or a conniving business plan that gives computers such a short life span. 1 computer year doesn’t have to averages 20 human years?
The baby I look after has a good new toy now. I’ll probably take off the keyboard and attach it to the cardboard space fortress I’m making for him. Work is fun. I also make him baby food and touch and feel family photo display, also made primarily from cardboard, colourful paper and duct tape. After the space fortress is done, my next project is to make a hanging obstacle course. Yup, work is super fun.
As for a new laptop, I shall feel a little handicapped for a while until I can afford a new one. I’ll be borrowing computers here and there. Lucky computers aren’t difficult to find.
R.I.P. Sebastian.
He was a great computer. I remember the entry where you named him. I still like “The Neverending Story”.

June 23rd, 2009 at 9:26 amIt’s the same laptop that died then revived last year after changing the battery. I used it for 4 years, now it’s completely gone. It would start up but be blank, and be making a loud noise. Luckily, I had transfered all data onto a hard drive the night before it died. It was approaching midnight and I was tired but stayed up to make sure they transfered. Phew!
