Unfortunately I must report my computer is seriously on the way out. The thing is like 8 years old and I could replace it with a cheap one, but I’d rather save up after the summer and get a powerful computer that is something to be proud of.
I have my large iPad which is great for browsing and lurking but not great for posting threads, links and html. So I am officially done with doing pings and things here for The World Cup. Which is a bummer for me because I really liked sharing links and stuff but life is sometimes like that. Sometimes you shift gears and sometimes the gears shift you.
God Bless You People and have A Great World Cup!
