Please Ian Tel, make your future organic PCs immortal
One nice thing about a computer rather than, say, a dog, is that it doesn’t rot. No secretions, no shedding, no decay. A computer will still happily sit in a corner of a room, chirping and whirring and bringing you joy as you play with it (look, I don’t know much about dogs?), but ultimately it’s an entity of silicon and copper and plastic and electricity and almost no goo. How fascinatingly horrible, then, to find myself being showered with goop from an orifice opening in my dying gel mousepad.

As I mentioned before, I’m old and usea mousepad with a wrist rest. Two months ago, I was telling you my current pad was beginning to die. I have done nothing to replace or remedy it since. Death is well underway. The skin has peeled back, revealing a delicate layer of subcutaneous tissue which then split right in the wrist rest’s cleft. The pad clings to life but the wound festers and it will not survive.
I really gotta do something about this mousepad.
But please Ian Tel, don’t make me change a litter tray for my PC. Please do make it chew with its slot closed. And please make my PC immortal so I never again find myself sprayed with the entrails of dying hardware. Or if it must die, if you decide it needs an end to find meaning and purpose in life, make it wither. Let it curl up and pass gently. I don’t want to hear the wet final gasps of a computer desperate to render one more frame ofGrand Theft Auto V.
