My Big Thing on the Web
One of my big things on the web apart from my web business has to be my PC. PC’s you love or hate um, but you can’t live without um, a bit like a good woman really.
In fact my wife named my PC ….. Pricilla, because I think she views Pricilla as competition, especially when it comes to how much time I spend with her.
I guess in a way she’s right I do spend a lot of time with Pricilla but I’m not in love with her, she’s just a good friend without which I could not have a life on the web.
Pricilla is not my first love there have been a few others before her. My first real love was a BBC Micro with 128K of RAM wow! Mind blowing stuff but it’s what I cut my teeth on in the computing world before the web existed.
We were together for quite a few years until finally the day came when we could no longer live together. I wanted bigger things, more get up and go, more byte, she was just happy being a Micro.
After several more PC’s some of them lovingly hand built and nurtured, I finally met Pricilla and we have been together for the past 3 years. Like all good relationships we have our ups and downs.
Sometimes she doesn’t do what I tell her, sometimes she misbehaves and other times she just sits there and does nothing. But, most of the time we get on really well and I wouldn’t want to be without her.
Like most women she likes new things and I must admit I indulge her from time to time by buying her a new hard drive, in fact she now has five, with room for almost 500GB.
Unlike most of us, her memory has improved with age, with 1GB and she’s got a lot faster at 2.8GHz, but sometimes she still struggles to keep up with me. While I wait I usually go off to make tea.
But she’s a master or should I say mistress, when it comes to software because she runs over 320 programs and has over 80GB taken up with other software and reports.
Luckily she’s also never caught a cold, or should I say a Virus, because I keep her well wrapped up behind two firewalls and administer daily updates of Anti-Virus.
