I would say that I love my computer, but that might be a little strong. I love my wife, my child, and my family. I don’t love my computer. I do have a really strong liking for my computer. Why? It’s different, and I like being different at times. People say that Windows is the standard, what most everyone else uses. It is what I have to use all day at work. It is what everyone talks about “around the water cooler.” Windows troubleshooting jargon flies like bats at dusk. Then I get to go home and sit with my computer at home. I have a Macintosh.

Leading up to Tuesday, my computer at work had not crashed in almost a month. Tuesday morning it crashed and burned. No work week is complete without at least two hours of PC troubleshooting in the office.

“Windows, you complete me.”
