Too tired to watch more DVDs, I upgraded software on my home laptop: Skype, iTune, Quicktime, and the latest virus definitions. I'm never the first to be an early adopter in these cases; I procrastinate too much.

Just yesterday, I realised that this laptop has served me for over 3 years now. The system specifications are no longer as good as they were then, and sometimes it drove me crazy how slow my system could crawl. But it is a good machine, and it still serves me well. I've never had need for any external keyboard, mouse or monitor for my laptop; instead the laptop is all I've required.

Thank you old friend.
