Goodbye Dell :(

It's a sad day :(
It’s a sad day 😦

Today was a big day. Well, not really, but I got rid of two significant pieces of electronics. The first was my Dell Inspiron laptop that died around the same time as my Mac. Now fair enough, I had bought the Dell in August 2006 before starting my Master’s degree at UBC, so it’s been 6.5 years or so. But there’s nostalgia with it: All those late nights coding in R sigh. Alas, it died, and now it’s in laptop heaven (aka, a random area in Staples). The second item was my Canon Rebel. I took my first (and only!) photography class with it, as well as many photos over the years until it died a sudden death when it was drenched by a Hawaiian wave. Sad sad camera. But on a positive note, these things have been taking up unnecessary space in my place for quite some time. I’m all about cleansing unused items… out with the old!
