You were my closest companion throught all these three years and were all the time by my side at home, in the army, at the watch towers, on my every trip and even when I was under arrest! You were there to connect me to all my friends online, you were entrusted to keep my deepest secrets and important data without backups and you haven't betrayed my trust for a nanosecond! You executed every single operation I gave you to the best of your abilities and tried not to stop in the middle of such procedures. You've squeezed the most out of your battery when I was on the road to entertain me, you let me use your every working USB port till they all failed eventually one-by-one, you didn't die on me when you had a power connector problem, and still don't let the burning sparkles from behind to wear your power jack out. Your LCD has never failed and showed me every pixel in the best way it can, your hard drive has never died or stopped working and your poor ATI Mobility Radeon with 32MB VRAM has given my drivers the best performance it could. You never overheaten - 74C was the highest temperature you could ever reach while having 99C as critical, and your wireless adapter had a strong grip at the access point's signal, not letting go even when I went out of range. You woke me up every morning at the right time, you kept your clock in perfect sync whether you were on, off or underpowered without the need for ntpdate just so I can know what time it is without a second thougt. Even when I disassembled you multiple times, lost some of your little screws and broke a few part of your sensitive plastic, you never gave up on me and continued to be as loyal as you can ever be!
There were so many things you gave me during these three years that I probably will never be able to repay you. You were worth every coin of the 6,450NIS that I was trying to collect for over five years and I'm proud that I was given a privilege to be your user three years ago.
While the times go on and new - more powerful systems are created, I feel the need to get a faster and more powerful laptop for the rest of my journey. However, no matter how good, shiny and "speccy" could this new toy ever get, I will never forget you and all the hard work you did for me all this time. I will never sell you away to another person or store you in a dusty closet for the rest of your life - I will take good care of you and spend my time with you until your (or my) last day in this world, and should we ever be separated by a great distance, I will always keep in touch with you over the SSH protocol - over the internet. Who knows, maybe you will be the one who will have to take care of my parents when I'll be working in some big corporation overseas - it will be you who I will have to entrust to keep my family up to date and in contact with me wherever I am.
You've been an irreplaceable help to me - technical and emotional - for three entire years. Hope you will stay with me for as long and even more.
With love, your proud user, Ice.
P.S. Forgive me for not buying you a present in time, my memory is not as good as yours and it completely slipped my mind there. :/
