Gadget Lows

It's early morning and I should have been hurrying so that I won't be late for work, and yet, here I am tapping the keypads of my laptop. 

Again, for the nth time, my laptop died on me --- and I have noticed that when it does, it always happens when I am downloading multiple video files.  I searched the web for possible reasons to this phenomenon and I was able to find some explanations: 1) it could be a virus; 2) it could be  a hardware failure... and it says in there that when a computer behaves this way, the problem is quite serious. Well, I have gotten the point that it might be better to plan of purchasing replacement while I still have time to salvage my files, but well, the price of a laptop is still quite high and I need to go find some source.  But I know I have to regardless of whether I want to or not.  The computer's become a big part of my work --- and my life because it makes my job easier.  It's also become a big part of my personal life because I communicate with loved ones through it.


Whew! Gadgets can be quite irritating, nonetheless, they've become necessary.  I just hope it wouldn't breath its last before I find the pot of gold to enable me to buy a new one.  I still have the old one, yes, but it just isn't portable anymore because its keypad no longer works.  I bought a large keypad to make it easier for my daughter to tap it.
