UJ — no doubt one of the last holdouts in this great land of ours — has finally broken down and purchased his own home computer. And he has jumped in with both feet, too. Today he bought a MacBookPro, which is the same studly Gen Y laptop that Richard and Russell use. I’m proud of my thoroughly modern brother!
As I sit here listening to music, drinking a glass of wine, and tapping away at my keyboard, it’s hard for me to imagine what life would be like without a home computer. For years now, UJ has been faithfully going to the library and using the bank of computers whenever he wants to do research or post to the family blog.
So now UJ will be liberated. He will be able to post or surf the internet whenever he wants, unshackled by the constraints of library hours, at any time of the day or night. Watch for his first posting using the MacBookPro. It will mark the end of an era, and a new beginning.
