One tends to forget that cliches become such BECAUSE THEY ARE SO TRUE. If you have never visited, ...

A couple of weeks ago I posted about my laptop computer passing away. It was my first laptop. Since I bought that one we had purchased a low end laptop for our home computer, and I expected to purchase the same for an office replacement.
