Computer Upgrades
You've just bought yourself a spanking new computer and whistling a merry tune you head toward the parking lot, to put it in your car, and you've just begun dreaming about how you will come home and install it and start sending pictures of yourself and your cat and whatever to all and sundry.
Little do you know that the contents of box you've just put into the trunk of your car have been obsolete the last few minutes. Yes. Just like a car that becomes obsolete the second it leaves the dealer's lot, your computer becomes obsolete the minute the computer store door closes behind you.
Should you despair?
Under no circumstances. No way. For the time being, it's only obsolete in quaint theory, so a computer dealer can offer you a brand new machine, as strong as anything that has ever graced the horizon of ones and zeros.
In a year or so, though, you may find out that there are applications that will simply refuse to run on your machine -- maybe it will complain that it doesn't have enough memory...or that its operating system isn't compatible. Or worse.
What will you do? These are applications you need so badly, you're going to die without them. The fact that you've survived without them thus far is perfectly irrelevant; like a spoiled toddler demanding her or his share of this or that particular ice cream, you simply HAVE to have this application.
Some of us are testosterone-driven enough to throw the one-year-old computer in a ditch and go and buy a new computer -- again, little realizing it's going to be obsolete as soon as they leave the store.
Those of us who have rents or mortgages to pay, making sure all the while we've got enough left to put bread on the table, know a better way: A computer can become spanking new again once you upgrade it.
And this is what this part of cyberwalker.com is all about.
