Come on Balthazar, I refuse to let you die

My laptop is four years old. It's this cute, fat little iBook g4 on its second battery because of a recall involving some issue with spontaneous combustion and there is a great deal of sherbet lodged between the keys from back when I used to eat sherbet to keep me awake until 3am when msn was a magical place. I sort of knew the novelty had worn off when I finally found a use for some stickers I had lying around and adorned the apple. Then there's the crack. A sort of half-circle by my screen wider than the arc of my thumb and the N is fading but the down key went a long time ago. I can't keep it white anymore even when I can be bothered to clean it.

But I love it. It fits on my lap and my chest and my knees and my pillow and the clear bit of my desk and in my bag. My second battery has died. It now lasts about half an hour before I need to recharge which is more annoying since my charger went on fire a couple of months back. I'm stuck using this short cable and permanently sat next to a plug. Even when I had the money to upgrade I didn't. I'm not sentimental about technological stuff but goddamn I can't give this one up. It makes writing rather bothersome though and my handwriting is getting worse the longer I'm away from uni.

We just gotta hope it can make it through another couple of years because a new computer is so not in my budget.
