Alas, poor Rue, we knew ye well.

Rue has passed on to the great computer heaven in the sky.  She was six years old, her keyboard was going, she was lagging quite a bit the last few months, and it would have cost $120-$200 to get rid of the virus (DW-only readers can check text posts on LJ) another year or so's use out of her.  Her remains (aka, harddrive with all my files) are in my purse, waiting to be put into an enclosure kit and converted into an external harddrive.

I now have this, who needs a name.
