The End of an Era

I've had the same computer for the past 10 years (having shipped it over from the States when I moved here). I've often been very proud of that fact. Of course, everything inside of it has been updated almost on a yearly basis. In fact, the only things that were still from the original computer were the case and the floppy drive (even the power supply had been changed twice).

However, due to a number of reasons, not least of which was a workmate who chastised me and told me to loosen the purse strings a little, I've decided to capitulate and buy a new case. So after a decade of the same beige box that had become an old and familiar friend, I now have a new black and silver case with blue led's flashing from the front of it.

While it is nice to have front USB ports and a computer that doesn't look like it's bound for a museum, I sort of miss my old case. I guess I'm sort of sentimentally stupid that way.
