I feel a little like my computer and I have been in a really bad relationship. Abusive, where it would mistreat me, and I would stick with it, make excuses for it, and continue to put up with whatever crap it dished out. I would spend oodles of time, even sometimes money, looking for ways to pacify and enable my computer to continue to its abuse of me.
Yesterday, I ended that relationship.
Today, I’m on the rebound, and boy does it feel good. My new relationship is so much healthier. The new computer is smarter, better looking, and not nearly as heavy as the old one. More important than that, it respects me. It does what I ask it to the first time, without giving me any grief at all. Sometimes, it is even thoughtful enough to anticipate my needs. What a lucky girl I am!
Sure, there are growing pains, just like in any new relationship. We’re learning how to communicate with new shortcuts and such, but I’m very optimistic that this computer will last much longer than the last one. Certainly, it will be healthier.
I’ll post pictures of us in our bliss very soon!
