We met almost about six years ago. At the time I was impressed by all of the things he could do, but over the course of time and getting to know him, I really came to love him more for his reliability. He never let you down. He never raised a fuss. He just got the job done. People mocked me for buying a Dell, but I loved that machine. For years he was my primary computer. Last Christmas when I bought the Gateway I put him in the closet for a little while and then last week I finally caved and bought a router and networked the two of them together so I could surf on the Dell.
But he was a jealous one. He didn’t want to share my computer affection with anyone. About an hour ago I was copying a file to a USB enclosure when he slipped off into computer eternity quietly. Several attempts to revive him have given me a pretty good idea of what failed, but it would be cheaper (and smarter) to replace than repair. He doesn’t owe me anything.
I’m genuinely sad right now. He was a good computer.
Dellchizadek, you will be missed.
Farewell oh faithful Dellchizadek
