technological trauma

I shudder as I write this post. It's the last one I will write from this office computer. My new computer is on its way, and Dave our outside IT guy will install it later this morning...

... and I'm traumatized by the idea of a new office computer! I've had this machine for seven and a half years, a fact that for some reason tells everybody that I'm way out of date, but it's been a great computer and still seems fine to me and if it is somehow deficient, the deficiencies are not obvious to me, the user.

... But will all of my programs still work on the new computer? Something always seems to get lost in a transition -- plus I'm going to be the office trailblazer with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010... I don't have enough room in my brain to learn new systems!.... Oops, I hear Dave, he's arrived.... Signing off...................... :-(
