I am mourning the loss of my best friend, Hewly. Hewly had been more like a part of me than a computer. In honor of Hewly, I have purchased his bastard cousin, Gateship1.

Gateship1 is a low-level laptop that I can kick around and do all the things I need to do without worrying about the monetary loss should horrible things happen. Don’t get me wrong; I’m very glad to have him, and I’ll be good to him, but if he dies prematurely, I don’t think I’ll be as torn up about it as I am with Hewly.
