Dear Computer,

Would you please wake up? Please do not die on me. You know how precious you are to me. You are my only source of entertainment apart from the television, and even so she's only my second love. See, over the years I have lovingly pampered you with many accessories: the graphics card which makes you look so much better, a new monitor to uplift your face, new speakers so I can hear your voice clearer. And the television - I gave her nothing! Nothing at all! Not even a PS2, not an Xbox, not even a DVD-player, nor a plasma screen! Remember how I would use to spend my time with you immediately after I come home from school. I didn't mind my parents' objection - I just wanted to be with you. Yes, of course, I did spend less and less time with you, but I swear, its because of work committments! Well, I have never truly wanted to part with you, though you are showing signs of ageing. Well, not until I have saved enough money to dump you for a newer one anyway. But for now, please do not die on me! You realize how I need you. Yes, the laptop is just a few metres away, and easily accessible, but the memories I had with you (my class photos, friends' photos and videos) cannot be replaced! Please at least wake up again for me to transfer our beautiful memories into the hard drive.

O, please do not die on me!

Yours sincerely,
a disillusioned teenager.
