The Death of a Desktop
Yesterday my aging desktop system finally wrote its last byte before giving up the ghost. In its early years it was a good system and it performed its duties with speed. In its later years it still performed its duties with speed, but occasionally fell over and crashed. Yesterday it crashed for the last time.
After making the painful decision not to attempt to revive the system, Becky and I went looking for a replacement. We found and rescued an abandoned Compaq Evo at a local rescue center for unwanted PCs. It's a nice quiet system[it's so silent that I have to keep checking on it to make sure it's alive] and it sits happily on my old yew table. As soon as I got it home I installed Ubuntu to keep it company.
