Twoo Wuv
Yes, despite his major character flaw that I thought would be a deal breaker, I do indeed love my new laptop.
It’s a Champagne Sony Vaio CR203E. It was on its way out, with new, bigger, and shinier models coming int to take the spotlight, but despite the fact he was picked up at a significant price reduction, and despite the fact he’s running Windows Vista, he’s still pretty marvelous. All I wanted was a solid dependable machine with a keyboard that wouldn’t drive me crazy, but I’ve found more.
Of course this may have something to do with the fact that this is the first brand new computer I’ve gotten. All my other personal computers have been hand-me-downs and upgrades. Now, he was a display model, so other hands caressed him possessively as he sat out to be oggled, but I brought him home, gave him a good cleaning, and now he’s shiny and pretty much perfect.
His few foibles (the aforementioned Vista, a touch pad instead of a trackpoint) can live with, since I don’t have to share him with anyone, or turn him back into work at some unknown point in the future, so I can make the adjustments that work for me. Plus, I got a new wireless mouse, which makes the pain of the trackpoint easier to handle.
So don’t mind me, I’ll just be over here typing away, and enjoying the fact that no one else’s germs will be on the keyboard but mine.
