another historical post

useless thoughts at 5.19 in the afternoon, just prior to rushing off to the medschool to listen to an hour's worth of biochem

most of us have a love hate relationship with our computers, now this might take the shape of actually spending friday night in front of a glowing
screen, or the other extreme of "answer me, you monster!!" while smashing an office chair on it...

well, yes, i was just thinking about the different reasons why a powerful wireless enabled laptop is better than a girlfriend.. (sometime later, i will
let you know the difference between a girl friend, a girlfriend and a gurlefriend)

so here goes:
laptops have better shelf life than girlfriends, they hook up faster, with the latest versions of password protection, they are totally loyal (except of
course to teh charms of a serious cracker with a 16 node cluster who dreams in binary), laptops, unlike girlfriends, dont cry, never sulk (unless they
are windows, here is a point, all these comments are for non windows platforms, if you have a windows laptop, then u had better get a girlfriend), you
can take a laptop to a beer party (but spilling beer on it is a definite no no), yes, ur laptop doesnt mind u surfing the net at 3 am, especially the
kind of surfing u wouldnt want to do in the department at 10 am.. and so on....

incidentally, i bond with an ancient huge sgi irix, i do not own a laptop. and i am single.
