PC’s, kids and sleep time sentiment.

Ok, here’s the thing… You know you’re bored when you are sitting at your desk clicking on icons, skipping from icon to icon, like you’re not really sure what you want to open. Or when you double click a folder, then go back, then forwards and forever open yet more folders only to find nothing of interest. Well I’ve done a bit of that today, waiting for software to install on the PC at work. Computers they say, save us time. They don’t save me any time, because I spend more time fixing them than they spend entertaining or educating me. But I love computers. They are a kind of comfort to me, not merely a tool for productivity. I enjoy the warm luminescent glow of my pc, the gentle humming of its numerous fans. Personal Computers… Sort of like personal slaves in a digital kinda way.

Well we all know how important our PC’s are... Well sure, they can’t feed us, clothe us or bath the kids, feed the cat, or put the bins out, or….come to think of it, do anything much that is all that practical (at least in their desktop form), but we love em just the same. We pour our hard earned cash into constant upgrades, software and additional gadgetry. They are like our children, (except that they don’t argue with us and they go to sleep when we ask them to) and imagine the possibilities… If only we could get children to hibernate like Windows XP: We might actually get some kip;-)
