I CRASHED BUT I DID NOT LOSE ANYTHING, I GUESS...

I tried, oh, how I tried,
but these computers don't
work without a hard drive.
"Hard Drive,  What is a Hard
Drive?"

It was embarassing to me
for the repairman to ask,
how have you been using
this out dated hard drive
for so long?  He hand me
the old one as he smiled at
me when I ask, what does it do?

He took my money and
escorted me to my car with
my tower; placed it on the
seat attached the seat belt and 
waved to me as I was driving
away he said , "See you in a
few months".  He knows a
sucker when he sees one.

I am home and it is all hooked
up, please tell me that if you
are receiving this greeting that
I at least put these wire back
in the right place.  If not he
may see me Monday.

Now to clean up all this e-mail.

You seem to be "out there" dear lady...I've been lucky as this laptop has run quite well since Rene bought it for me a few years ago...I sometimes think if too many programs are installed, thats what messes these computers up...but what do I know...? Ed

HI LOUISA...I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMPUTERS EITHER BUT MY DAUGHTER DOES AND FROM WHAT I HAVE 'TAKEN IN' FROM TIME TO TIME, THE HARD DRIVE IS THE 'HEART' OF THE COMPUTER...NOTHING WORKS WITHOUT IT. BUT SOMETHING ELSE...IF THE TECHNICIAN PUT A 'NEW' ONE IN...YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS...THEY LAST A LONG TIME. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WORK AND BLESSINGS.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
