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. 😉
