After finally deciding that I won’t be replacing my old laptop with a new one, andrea received word from her dad telling her about his wish to ship his old notebook computer together with arlene’s (andrea’s sister) new laptop this October. Apparently, because of an incident that corrupted his computer’s operating system, andrea’s dad decided to replace his computer that’s why he’s sending it later this year together with arlene’s new toy.

Now if I didn’t spend some money upgrading my own laptop I wouldn’t be torn about this news. Why? Because as I see it, when andrea gets her dad’s computer (which is significantly smaller, faster, and newer than both our present laptops), she’s bound to pass hers to me. And since her laptop is also much faster and newer than mine, then it would only be logical to use hers instead of mine, which means I would be left with only two choices for my laptop – to sell it or shelf it for some time.

It’s just too disappointing. And just when I finished upgrading its memory and re-installing everything to give it a total makeover. I was also just beginning to fall in love with it again but I guess it’s really time for a replacement. Huhu!
