In Memory of Charlie

I bet you are all just dying to hear more about the fascinating world that awaits anyone adventurous enough to find themselves in one of the strangest places to stick a major college.

But you're going to have to wait longer.

This post isn't about Ephraim, this post is about Charles the Great.

A few of you may know about my epic romance with one Charlie the laptop.  While he wasn't my first laptop, he's one that I probably ended up having the longest, and both my old roommate Karli and I had quite an inside joke about him.

Unfortunately, Charlie was old when I inherited him and got older still after I started school.  The fact is, my family is really hard on computers.  Really really hard.

Sadly, with school starting and with a knowledge that should Charlie die on my completely while away in Ephraim, I would be stuck with out a computer with which to do all my stuff, I decided to take part of my grant and buy a new laptop.  A smaller one with more memory.

And thus, Charles the Great was born.

It was sad giving up Charlie, but I did honor his memory by naming my new computer after him.  Charlie, may you rest in peace.  Or pieces.  Whichever happens first.

At any rate, I love my new computer.  It's fast and picks up internet much better than Charlie did.  Furthermore, it is much more capable of remembering things, and has a much better battery life.  Most importantly of all, it's so easy to cart from place to place because of it's reduced size and weight.

The moral of this rather random post, is that I have a new computer, it's totally awesome and I love it.  Viva la Grande Charles!
