My wife and I are owners of an electronic computing device, better known as an E-comp-dev. It was purchased from the Apple Corporation nigh on 4 years ago and, by and large, it's been a fine E-comp-dev.
Sure, it runs a little slow for my computerized gaming programs, (or comp-ga-pros, I'm sure you call them), and I sometimes have to transfer files to an external memory receptacle, but that's not a big deal. It's still works well. We are happy with it.
Well, we were. Until last night.
You see, in the coming month, my lovely wife will turn 29 for the first time (I swear she still looks 18, which makes me look more lucky and more lecherous as the days pass) and she requested an Internet player on demand, or iPod, for her birthday. Seeking to quell her murderous rage, I got her one. It arrived by post on Tuesday.
But when we went to plug the device in, our E-comp-dev let us know that everything was not, as the kids say, jiggy. It was decidedly un-jiggy. No one was tempted to perform any sort of dance, much less a jig. Because the new iPod requires new software, which requires a new operating system, which requires (in order to keep our already slow E-comp-dev from moving at glacial speeds) more memory.
Being the thrifty sort and being broke, we turned to our friend for advice. And he told me to suck it up. So we're buying new memory. Then we're buying a new(er) operating system. Then we're upgrading iTunes. Then she can use her new iPod.
Hell, it may even get done before her birthday actually arrives.

Am I envowed to this alleged "friend" how gave you computer advice? Because, that's his answer for everything - The computer is slow - Get more memory. It's cold in here - get more memory. This milk smells bad - get more memory.
Just curious.
