\"computer-build-004\"<\/a>The parts I ordered for my new computer arrived two days ago.\u00a0 It was a Wednesday afternoon, when the sun was at it’s zenith and song birds filled the air with acoustic radiance to rival the sun’s splendor.<\/p>\n

I was at work.\u00a0 :-\/<\/p>\n

Two hours later, after counting down the last 30 minutes one at a time, I was racing home to two wondrous boxes of joy and happiness.\u00a0 All the buyer’s remorse that consistently plagues me with purchases over about $1.50, was now gone.\u00a0 It was like Christmas in July and Santa had mistakenly penned my name onto the “nice” list.<\/p>\n

After over 6 hours of labor, my brand new, bouncing baby computer was brought into this world.<\/span><\/p>\n
