Interview With The Aspire
That’s weird. I don’t remember seeing these two little holes punched into my Acer Aspire One Netbook before.
Yeah, just like, two little puncture holes maybe an inch apart, right through the diamond black chassis. From the looks of it, I’d say they were made by an icepick or a roofing nail or something like that. What’s the story? Who would’ve done it, and why? I guess that’s what I get for leaving my Acer Aspire One in front of an open window all night.
I hope nothing’s wrong with it. I’ve got a lot to do today. The 84-key, full-size keyboard makes it easy to type up my investigations into the paranormal, and post them to my blog via the 802.11b/g wireless LAN connection. First, though, I’ve got to do some research and collect some more evidence, even though the 160GB hard drive is almost full of video footage, audio recordings, and documents. You can never have too much evidence when you accuse one of the most respected noblemen in Romania of hijacking shipments to local blood banks, right?
Then maybe I’ll kick back and watch something on Netflix or Hulu on the sharp 11.6” TFT display. The Acer Aspire One can even show 720p HD video in its native resolution – it’s almost scary how good it looks.
Anyway, enough chit-chat. Time to fire up the Acer and get on with my morning. First, let me open up this curtain and get a little light in here. Hope whatever made those holes hasn’t damaged anything. Let’s try waking the Acer Aspire One up from sleep mode, and- what the hell? What is it – oh my God – it seems to be…turning to dust?!? What? I can’t believe it! My Acer Aspire One netbook just turned to dust, right before my eyes. Damn.
I hope this is covered by the warranty.
