So a number of factors have led me to think about computers lately:

1) I work in a computer-heavy environment, surrounded by computer experts. In fact, one of my co-worker’s mothers had the audacity to label us as “a bunch of computer nerds”! The nerve! If it wasn’t at least 95% true, I would have been highly offended.

2) The power supply on my desktop burned out about 2 months ago, thus I currently have no desktop.

3) The power supply on my laptop which I use for all my work, including this post, will glitch out if I so much as look at it funny. These power failures are growing increasingly common with the passage of time.

Thus, it doesn’t take a mastermind to determine that I’m currently in the market for a new computer, in spite of General Sherman’s best efforts to destroy my financial welfare. Consequently, for the first time in approximately 7 years I’m actually studying computer hardware and the market in general.

The result?

I’m not really interested in the guts of the machines anymore. I don’t do anything on my computer that demands substantial horsepower, like gaming, these days. Additionally, two people whom I trust a great deal, my brother and my boss have recently “switched”. You know what I’m talking about.

I haven’t made up my mind for certain about what I want to do, but I’m thinking about all my options.
