Computers and Dinosaurs
Well this is the New Year and I’m full of resolutions just like this lady.

Only I hope my resolutions are more sincere!
Firstly, I wanted to talk about dinosaurs. I always thought dinosaurs were substantially green and grey in colour but I discovered that was a mistake when I visited my computer man. One look at my computer he announced with ridicule, you have a white one, you have a dinosaur. Did you know the colour of your computer was so important? He didn’t actually specify which particular species of dinosaur it was because I have little knowledge of the prehistoric kind so there was no point in my guessing but he did emphasize that he knew it belonged in that category because of its colour. “I see”, I answered, “So if I have to have a green one instead, will that work better?” He smiled from ear to ear, well almost, because in his case his mouth wasn’t quite wide enough but he emphasised the modern colour is black. Why hadn’t someone told me that before I wondered? The colour had never been a consideration for me before. I receive hundreds of emails from all sorts of guru’s everyday giving advice on how to run an Internet business but no one had ever mention the importance of the colour of the case and no one had ever told me my problem with the lack of my money making ability was because my computer was white! I obviously was not going to argue at this startling revelation because now he was offering me a new one for only $800 he told me which was all I needed to make a million bucks in 2009 on the Internet so the investment to achieve that was minimal. What could I say but YES! When can I have it?
I usually have a little tease with the man before I pay him but because he’d set me on the road to huge riches this year I found the money quickly and paid him within two days then I noticed a small problem with the machine. I rang him on the following Monday morning to ask for his advice and was told he’d passed away the night before. I was flabbergasted. I been trying to persuade him to give those white paper tubes filled with dead leaves for years but although he had made some effort I don’t think he completely succeeded. I guess his lungs were not in good shape to withstand the pneumonia that caused his demise. How sad. What was I going to do now with my three year warranty because he was a one man band?
By the way, what colour is your computer?
