Getting a new computer is exciting.
Because as great as computers are, the age about as well as people do. The older they get, the more weird noises and tics they develop. They're also magnets for dust, snack crumbs, and in my case, a spider which got evicted.
But getting the new computer set up . . .
You have to log back in to your accounts. You have to figure out why the speakers that were working fine with the old computer don't work with the new one. You have to clean up all that dust and crumbs and spiders and you end up cleaning up a lot because you've neglected surfaces while you were working on your computer.
I'm glad I have my passwords saved electronically and also in print but even deciphering all that is a pain.
Also, you tell yourself that your old computer isn't all that old, until you're disconnecting cables and the connectors on one end of one of them disintegrate in your hands.
