We’ve had a spat of trouble with our computers lately.  Nothing we can’t deal with . . . eventually.  I know nothing is built to last forever, but it seems to me that computers are one of those devices which ought to come with a warning:

Your computer will self-destruct in five,

four,

three,

two,

dzzzzzz….

And it’s dead.  Maybe I’m just naturally suspicious (okay, so that’s not a maybe) but I find it hard to believe that computers and cars can be quite so reliable in their breakdowns without prior planning.  It’s almost as if the makers want us to have to give up on the old klunker and go buy a new one.

Almost.  To really believe that would no doubt push me over the line from merely suspicious to paranoid, and we wouldn’t want to go there!  After all, I’m sure it’s all pure conincidence.  I’m a big believer in coincidence, me.
