  • I’m in a sad motel room in Portland, Or with a messed up computer. #
  • First the computer had a virus. Then I spilled a cup of tea on it. #
  • Then I replaced the keyboard. Next I reloaded windows and a bunch of Dell drivers. #
  • Then a guy came and replaced the mother board. For one brief shining moment my computer worked. #
  • Even though I loaded the pay version of my viruses and spyware program, I got another infection. #
  • A smart person would toss the laptop in the dumpster and never think about computers again. #
  • But I keep trying. #
