After a slow decline, our laptop finally stopped working. Whilst on it's last legs, gasping and limping along, I bought a new computer online and set it up yesterday. Oh joy of joys! Wonder of wonders! The weird thing is, with its huge HD screen, umpteen gigabytes of memory, mammoth stereo speakers etc., etc., it cost less than the laptop did 6 or 7 years ago. Really, the pace of change in computers sometimes freaks me out. As much as I like using a computer and having internet access, I hate the 'compulsory repurchasing of the same', to quote Jonathan Crary. I have decided that from now on, in spite of my like of blogging, I am also going to write more on paper. I hate that this computer doesn't have a floppy drive. So the files I have on disk from a colossal 10 years ago, may as well be buried under a 1,000 years of sand. Hard copy, everything, from now on...
