Good-bye, Jessica
Tomorrow, I give Jessica to her new owner.
It's been a good run, though I did not use her for what she was really intended. You see, she's in my room most of the time and I chose the flash disk approach to the mobility of my files.
One good thing with that, the hinges are still in perfect condition because I don't open and close her too much. And the LCD monitor is still covered with plastic. And the battery is still good because I rarely use it. I take it out when I'm plugged into the house current, which is most of the time. So the battery is still fresh.
Of course, she is not in pristine condition physically. The finish is a little bit worn out in the palm rests, which is understandable. But a good clean up will fix most of these signs of wear and tear.
I already copied all my files (and my downloaded stuff) from her and I actually deleted them from her already, ready for the new owner. I used about 5 DVD-Rs for that. Funny, I must have used up about 20Gb for my files and downloads and she was down to 4Gb of her 30Gb. Must have downloaded a lot of stuff during her time with me. Plus, I have blogged a lot of entries through her for most of the life of this blog. So in that sense, she has served me well.
Now, it's just a matter of recharging the battery, uninstalling some programs that I know I would only need and defragmenting.
So good-bye, Jessica. May you serve your new owner well. It's been a blast.
