Dragging Its Knuckles
I must say, it is good to be back in the civilized world of modern technology again.
My brother, the king of kings, the god among men, FedExed the new hard drive to us overnight. My dogs actually woke me up barking at the delivery guy Thursday morning. By 11 that night, I had a working (though barren) system once more.
On the bright side, I had ol' lappy to light my way through the dark times. But sometimes you had to squint to see, because the bright side could get awfully dim. There's a reason I didn't keep up with this blog, for example. Thirty-two reasons, actually. That's how many megabytes of RAM Minako (for that is its name) has. Yes. Megabytes. For those of you keeping score at home, that's 1/32 as much as the desktop (Usagi, if you care, and yes, it's after Sailor Moon; now shut up). Minako had a hard enough time connecting to an SQL-driven bulletin board six years ago; you can imagine its pain attempting to slog through the Flash and AJAX of today.
Actually, you don't have to imagine. Here's what it looked like as I wrote this post.
Thanks for the memories, old girl. But I have to move on to the new blood. We had some good times.

Congrats. Now you have twice as much ram as Slartibartfast (I didn't really pick that name, obv.)
I did run a Win 3.1 as recently as 7 years ago and used the Win 95/98 until 6 months ago, so I felt the pain.
