RIP old friend [View all]
You ran almost non-stop for twelve years. Through electrical storms and blackouts you never failed me. Ok, you DID shut down but you never failed to reboot and I can't ever remember you taunting me with a BSOD.
From XP to 10, you handled every OS that was thrown at you. Remember that time we ran Linux on a virtual machine?
For ten years I blew nicotine into your body. That must've hurt. I'm sorry. You know I stopped?
I nursed you when you were unwell; I performed a few amputations but always replaced the old part with something newer and better. I tried to be proactive about your health and take good care of you. You served me magnificently for over a decade.
So my dear Limpet, goodbye from me and all your friends on our network; Shrimp the mini box, Squid your temporary replacement, SeaDragon, the small but elegant friend driving the front of house and your as yet un-named replacement who has a Ryzen 5 and a GTX 1680.
Farewell Limpet, my old Phenom II and 890GPA-UD3 H. You served me magnificently.
