Computer Upgrades, Issues and Conventions

The smaller the laptop, the cuter it is.

I imagine you are less cute than when I saw you last?

[Ming]

I'm not a laptop. And that depends on your definition of cute.

[Moonraker]

I'm not a laptop.

S'funny how men like some things to be big but prefer other things to be small! Remember the huge mobile phones of yesteryear? The bigger the TV screen, the happier some are - the smaller the camera, the more they are pleased.

I remember those huge mobile phones My mum had one. Then the mobile phones got smaller and smaller and now they need to be huge again because of all the features they have (camera, internet...). I'm not that old but I still remember the good old phone box

[Lucky Star]

I'm not a laptop.

She has grown up and become a PC now.

[Moonraker]

I'm not a laptop.

She has grown up and become a PC now.

But has she got a 20" screen...?

[Ming]

Technology gets smaller over time. Humans grow by a permanent increase in the number of cells and cell size till a certain amount of time, and going by that scientific explanation, laptop to PC sounds logical enough. But wait, there's a catch! The laptop evolved from the PC. In other words, humans cannot be equated with computers. As for my comment regarding myself and laptops, I only mentioned it because Nigel implied I was no longer cute, and I had originally associated that word with small sized technical devices. Which was when I warned him that I am not technology, and thus cannot have the word "cute" associated with me.

How the tables have turned.

Completely lost

I think Moonraker and Ming have their own language between them both

Very good, my little cutie. I never realised that you saw yourself as a small sized technical device. Now you are several years older from when we first met, I guess you are now a large sized technical device. That does seem to make sense. I have long thought that women had more android features about them than the rest of humanity. Let's face it, men are simple creatures, all they have to brag about is the size (or lack of) of their equipment. They have no need to prove themselves in any other way. Women however, have a real need to prove themselves as efficient as a computer. They need to be right in all they say and do, they cannot be questioned, you cannot hurry them up, and if you upset them, they crash.

When I first made Ming's acquaitance, she was really cute. he had an air of vulnerabilty about her that was endearing. She looked up to me as a servant looks up to his master. Now the roles have reversed. She could well be my mistress, I am forever her most humble, obedient servant.

We do. It's called Mingraker.

Or Mooning.

[Julie2owlsdene]

Or Mooning.

Not in front of the innocent, Ming, Moonraker.

[Ming]

Nah, that sounds too much like "moaning". And if there's one thing the two M's don't do, it's moaning.

PS, Julie, I never knew "mooning" had connotations to it, until now. Heaven forbid, I think I can recall Mrs Mannering (or one of the matriarchs) saying once, "do stop mooning about".

Diana from the Barney mysteries seemed to Moon alot didn't she? The naughty girl!

I really want a laptop small enough to fit into my handbag easily..... but I also like having my large screen. So basically I want a tiny laptop with a folding screen??
