Confessions of a laptoholic

It’s funny how a small, normal thing like a laptop can be so addictive. So much that if you take a trip without your laptop and your girlfriend, it’s the laptop that you miss more!

I have a Dell Inspiron, with a 4 GB RAM, a 320 Hard Drive, a 256 MB Graphics Card, aaaaaaaaand Windows 7. Tell me, how can a guy not fall in Love with a beauty like this? It was Love at first sight. The day the laptop arrived, I was head-over-heels in Love with it. The sleek black body, the awesome design, and the amazing features……. Too good to resist!

It started off with an innocent game of Counter Strike (which is not so innocent :P), but it turned into a marathon from there. Minutes turned into hours, and hours into days. Other games were added. Defense Of The Ancients, Age Of Empires, World Of Warcraft…. The list goes on and on. Everyone in the house was worried about my future. :P

Then there was this added perk of Internet. With that, never ending horizons opened up. You have so much stuff to waste your time on that you don’t need anything else. The idiot box remains untouched for months (only by you, moms still watch daily soaps). Your cricket bat starts to decay, along with your guitar. :P The party with friends takes place on websites like Facebook and Orkut. Your social life ends here.

Many say that Love is blind, and I second them. At least in this case! I will be always proud of my first Love and Love my laptop till eternity. (Or till death separates us).
