Today is a bright day for new beginnings, but it's also a sad day. It's a bright day because I bought new computer parts from Newegg and I officially built my brand new computer! It has the latest technology and it will serve me wonders for all my needs!

But today is also a very sad day. Today, I say goodbye to my old computer which I got for Christmas of 2002 after my previous computer died (which I had since Spring of '96 and died in the Autumn of 2002). In 2002, the new computer I got was a DELL Dimension 4550. It had the latest hardware at the time and I was happy with it.

My 4550 went through a lot of makeovers over the years. I changed its graphics card three times, got a new hard drive which was upgraded from an XP 32-bit to a 7 32-bit, a FireWire card, upgraded to a DVD drive to compensate for "Splinter Cell Chaos Theory" as well as getting new hardware, such as newer speakers, a laser-mouse, and an HP PSC 2110 scanner. It also went through a dial-up modem to a Comcast cable modem, to a Verizon DSL modem, and then back to Comcast cable.

But today's the day I put it out of its misery. It's dying, it's slow, and the hardware isn't compatible with newer technology anymore. I went through many years with this. I took my classes with the Art Institutes on it, as well as trying to be a medical transcriptionist at CareerStep (which I regret taking) and not to mention the many games I played on it. However, the later games out there wont run on the computer anymore because it's old. It's time to finally say goodbye.

This deviation you see is my LAST picture I will upload onto deviantART via my old computer.

DELL Dimension 4550, you were activated on December 25th, 2002 and you will be closed down March 21st, 2015. You served me well for 4,469 days but now it's time for you to see that big computer store in the sky. I'll miss you, old buddy.

Good-bye, old friend.
