My Computer My friends had them , my brother had one too he said he would like to go online. I said "huh?", what is this thing you do that keeps you from your family all the time? I soon learnt about computer and information and before long considered myself a candidate. I'm still not sure of setup or configuration but there's time for me to learn yet. Now I am like a child with a new toy nothing else matters in my life Going online brings me so much joy but at times gets me into strife. I have met many friends through this invention be it by messenger, chat or e-mail. Just have to remember my other obligations and by smooth seas I shall sail. |

Really cute, JB! "Just have to remember my other obligations"... just a word of warning from one who's been online for almost a year... the above may not be as easy to do as you may think! Have fun! Lary |

Jos; Great poem and, oh, How I can relate! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

I go days without sitting down in front of this thing, but when I do, I know what you mean. Melton |

Oh how true your words are! I can sure relate to this. If I don't have my computer I suffer terrible withdrawal!There is a world of adventure out there waiting to be explored, and a computer is a window to many worlds. It's true, we have to learn to balance our time or it can take over reality. Well written poem! Deb |
