I have to admit…I felt a bit lonely this week…my brave and courageous companion of the last four years had to leave me temporarily. She really has gone with me places that no-one else would care to go. I felt a bit guilty as I hooked up with another, knowing all along that i was using another to meet my selfish needs while she was gone; but, that is what happens when your computer gets an attitude and needs an attitude adjustment.
You see, the old gal was starting to have a mind of her own. Whenever I would tell her to go one place she had to show me who was boss. You see, I can admit it…she is a bit smarter than I am…she just has so much knowledge packed in her brain. However, I have strongly suspected for the last few months that my computer was struggling with the electronic equivilant of ADD…attention deficit disorder…I couldn’t keep her attention. She would start to be distracted, by each and every commercial pop up available.
Now, I can stand a bit of competition now and again…but, it was getting to the point to where she just couldn’t keep her wandering eyes on me, and my wants and needs. That was just unacceptable to me…something had to be done. I confronted her with my suspicions…I did a bit of research and ran a background check…sure enough…she was infected with a virus. I am not immune to such things and obviously, she had gone out and picked up something that i did not care to have. (more…)
