I have promised my laptop computer I will buy a good desktop one with a huge screen for the past year… I want to keep my promise, but I just don’t have the money to do that! 🙂
Ha! That’s a good one, Curri! Thanks for posting 🙂
Well, I am somewhat more subtile and make my desktop some indecent proposals from time to time like to promise him a full month of paid vacancies…(but I can’t explain more here, just in case he is keylogging me right now… 🙂
Thanks for posting, Pablo! Don’t worry, your secret is safe here… 🙂

Once upon a time, I promised that I would install a decent operating system to my computer. And I installed openSUSE Linux (it was 10.2 then, now it’s 11.3/11.4 on different computers). And I did not have to promise anything else, because the computer just works. No crashes, no viruses/trojans. Just boring work.
By chance I came across your page, and found it the nearest to my heart
