My New Ear/My New Computer

My old left ear worked okay. I mean; I could hear out of it fairly well. Sometimes it would discharge a little, and it was far too sensitive to seasonal changes. I would often get sick because of how fragile it was. The fragility involved is due mainly to some drunk quack/hack Dr. who extracted my tubes incorrectly 30 years ago. Additionally, some of the fragility of my left ear was due to the fact that more gunk collects in my left ear because my left nasal passage is regular-sized (my right nasal passage is about half normal size). I've also created my own problem of sucking in my left ear drum too far--as a reaction to when my ears pop open. But even with all of these things going against it, I had an okay left ear that somehow maintained above-average hearing.

My old computer worked okay. I mean; I could get online to check e-mail and update my webpage fairly well. Sometimes it would freeze up or kick me offline, and it was far too slow already to work with dial-up internet service. I would often get mad because of how fragile it was. The fragility involved is due mainly to some drunk quack/hack computer tech who came up with the idea of having memory and video sharing space on such a small hard drive. Additionally, it was fragile because so much gunk had collected in the already-too-small hard drive. There were duplicate files taking space, and other files that needed updates. Also, I'd created my own problem of storing files all over the place--not keeping them orderly. But since my brilliant girlfriend had created the FTP to directly load up my webpage, I had an okay computer that did above-average computing.



Enter 2-2004: The (new and better) Dr. "D" says it is time to upgrade my ear. I would get a discount on my new ear because of my excellent insurance. In the beginning, everything was falling into place very well. In fact, the external components fit together like they were meant to be. Then there were some minor complications with the "finishing" process, because the old unit needed some specialized attention. But after a few extra days of "fixing", my new ear is now better than the old one, with far-avove-average hearing again. And it was completed in early March. Life is good.

Enter 2-2004: Everyone agrees that I need to upgrade my computer. I got a discount on my new computer because of a gift certificate that my excellent girlfriend gave me. In the beginning, everything was falling into place very well. In fact, the external components fit together like they were meant to be. Then there were some minor complications with the "finishing" process, because the old unit needed some specialized attention. But after a few extra days of "fixing", my new computer is now better than the old one, with far above-average computing again. And it was completed in early March. Life is good.
