My computer is being fixed so I have been going without one for a couple of weeks. I haven’t been getting my Straight dope fix!
Luckily, I have a new boyfriend (I’m so happy!) and he is letting me use his computer every few days. But darn, do I miss you guys! I can’t wait until I can read this board every night again!
Please tell me someone misses me!
Of course we miss you! Having computer repairs sucks, I should know. But hey, when it’s all over, we’ll be right here, having Mundane and Pointless conversations out the wazoo. Just consider this a vacation!
Come back soon!
I tell you, they look so funny with those plastic collars around the montiors after the operation…
This is why I have a spare computer!
Pentium 166 MHz
CD-ROM
3 1/2" Floppy
19" Hitachi Color Monitor
$75.00 total out the door.
D@mn, I love these Silicon Valley auctions…
Oh, and the $4.00 semi-functional HP Laser Jet II printer.
We miss you desperately, MaryAnn.
(The BF does understand that the SDMB outranks him, right?)
Oh, yes, MysterEcks, he knows it. That’s why he is letting me use his computer. Right now I am totally ignoring him. 
My computer should be ready in about 2 days, then I can ignore him every night.
