IM'ing With An Old Computer Poem

[elliot]

For any Warriors using an old computer, you will know how I feel.

Right after they built my computer, they then invented the wheel.

It is now slower than a snail, and im about done with all this lag.

Now whenever Geek Squad visit, they bring in a body bag.

It takes about an hour to email, and is the size of a house.

It has now only one moving part, which is the optical mouse.

The keyboard is ancient, I have to type with my fist!

"I've seen dinosaur bones in better condition", said an archeologist.

I once took it outside, because I had to clean it with Drano.

Upon my return It was full of old ladies, thinking it was the bus to the casino!

I'd take it to a market, but boy would I have to haggle.

Is it so wrong for me to ask, for brand new shiny Apple?

It once tried to escape, I just couldn't watch.

That day would go down in local folk-law, my computer with the Sasquatch.

So now I am done, and I know that you have my back.

So feel free to donate all you can, then I can get that shiny Apple iMac!

But I do have a serious point to this post. I'm looking into upgrading my computer set-up, and want to know what you have that helps you the most in your IM'ing pursuits.

What's your budget?

Desktop or laptop?

Would you rather feel Cool, Smug or Practical?
