Just die already!

During the past month, my computer has randomly shut down on me at least 4 times due to a "system error". It's a problem that's only started this past month, and so it makes me wonder if my computer is getting a little worn down. It's an old, thick dinosaur, after all. No webcam, several inches thick, and no port through which I could hook it up to a tv or anything. It's noisy and takes a while to start up. It has some weird thumb-scanner that I don't know how to activate. I think you can use it in place of having a password.

BYU was doing a Windows 8 Touchscreen Laptop demo (Acer Aspire) this past week, and my husband went to check it out. I got a text from him saying that if my computer dies, we'll probably get me one of those.

Suddenly, I really want my computer to die.

Knowing my luck though, it will keep living for another couple years.
I keep thinking of ways it could "accidentally" die.
Such as dropping it.
Or throwing something at the screen and saying that I was aiming for the couch.
Or taking a torch to it and claiming that it just spontaneously burst into flame.

Oh well. It's been a faithful computer to me the past couple of years. It has a big screen, which is great for watching movies or shows, and the volume turns up louder than other computers. It's also really sturdy (which is why it probably won't die for a while... the thing is like a tank!)

And no, I would not consider a Mac. Sorry Apple fans, but PCs are the way to go. Microsoft FTW.

Meh. I'll just hunker down and wait until my laptop's life is over. Even if it takes a little longer than I would like it to.
