To most people, their computer is just a piece of electronics.  But for someone like me who spends 18 hours a day on their computer, it’s almost like my computer is a part of me….  Well today I say goodbye to my trusty Sony VAIO laptop.  After 3 years of insane daily use it’s time to retire the VAIO and send it to my used electronics farm where it will spend its’ days and night with all of the rest of my retired equipment.  No longer will I have to endure the jet engine like noise that came from the VAIO’s cooling fan whose bearing went bad long ago.    Farewell old friend….  Thanks for the 300 gig memories….
