A new Way

After long and careful consideration I have decided to not sell my beloved sidekick2. I love my phone. I remember when I used to sleep with it next to my pillow- when all that existed was sidekick, Jenna and me. There was no Zen. Sidekick2 was my friend. Friends should not sell friends and she is serving a purpose.

I therefore have to keep her. Besides, thanks to the Miphone Network I am able to afford the Sidekick2 again. One of the limiting factors with the Sidekick is that my bill peaked to $5000 for about 3 months in a row. Changing to MiCircle Duo though changed things dramatically. Initially the bill is slashed in half and next time around it will be a quater. I can handle a quater.

I have purchased the monitor! I can't see on this current monitor and I can't go into "gaming summer" looking at this lame excuse for a monitor. I have used up some resources from savings and purchased the new unit. I think it is going to continue the revolution within Jenna. She can only get better. I will take lots of pictures when it gets here and is installed. Bear in mind however that it is a 19" WXGA Monitor. There is something good about spending your own hard earned cash and looking at what you got for yourself. A sense of independence and achievement?

I keep dreading the day when I am going to have to put away Jenna and take up Lori. This day will be ushered in by my changing the motherboard to a more recent chipset based on AMD's X2 (Dual Core) Processor. I keep thinking- will I let Jenna live on and donate her to mom or will Jenna be officially laid to rest as her critical parts (hard drive, dvd burners, flat screen wxga lcd monitor) are retained within Lori. I don't know. I mean Jenna will still have a case, processor, motherboard, keyboard and mouse, FX5500 256mb graphics card, 1GB DDR RAM... I think the former may occur. Even if I have to have two computers in my room- one Vista Ready and the other Media Centre ready- I will have my first love by my side... or in the vicinity... until I get a laptop- then it is over between us- just Lori and the laptop.

Not getting a laptop though, so Jenna don't cry.
