Sad goodbyes...

As I find myself browsing the Dell website, I ask not 'where do computers go when they die?' but rather, 'where do they go when they don't?'

What do you do with a computer that is almost completely useless because of how slow it runs once you replace it with a much faster, sleeker computer? Is there a rest home for computers that refuse to die?

Because you've had this computer for almost five years, and you have a strong bond. But, much like a five-year-old golden retriever, regardless of the fact that its a beloved member of your family, it's best years are behind it, and its time to put it down.

That is the struggle that I currently face.

With my laptop. I don't have a golden retriever. Anymore.
