La Vista, Baby
Choosing a home computer is like finding a lover. Sure, you’ve got your list of criteria: He’s got to be over 5’10”, physically fit, no pet allergies, secure employment, must enjoy live music, and Mom and Dad would really appreciate it if he were Catholic. It’s like that with computers too, right? You’re looking for one with a decent Athlon processor, a nice, fast serial ATA drive, a dual-layer DVD burner with Lightscribe, at least 3GB of RAM so that your friends are impressed, and an OS that won’t let you down when you need it.
But then here comes a guy, and he’s most of the things you wanted—but he’s not Catholic, he’s Branch Davidian. Or here’s a computer with everything on your list except that it’s loaded with Vista.
What, you going to rule this guy out—or pass on this computer—for that one thing? You can’t plan a romance the way you would plan a bank heist, OK? Sometimes love comes at you in ways you couldn’t have foreseen. Maybe this is the thing that’s going to make your relationship more unpredictable and exciting. You never know.
