Obituary

Laptop, 2 years old

This laptop served its functions well. It was lightweight, very portable, and always had a ready battery. It stored photos, research papers, and business documents with ease. It nearly always connected to the world wide web without difficulty. It rarely complained when the children poked its screen and pulled its cord. It suffered only momentarily as a fatal virus worked its way through the system. It leaves behind three children who were just discovering Noggin games, a student in desperate need of Word and email access, and a business owner struggling to work three jobs and research new house plans. A successor has yet to be named.
Memorials can be sent to the borrowed laptop. The viewing has been postponed due to the autopsy. As per request, there will be no burial; the remains will be scattered across Ebay.

RIP, laptop. You will be missed.

  1. May I offer my sincerest condolences on the loss of your loved one. We have called in the family for one of our own soon-to-be departed members. We don't expect to make it 'til summer. Ours has requested the recycling bin, as opposed to Ebay, as it's had so many transplants during it's lifetime it no longer feels fit enough to withstand the bidding process. Again, my sympathies.
