A couple of years ago I was brand new
Not all gamers had such a powerful computer
I only knew a few.

As years pass by
everyone gets upgraded except me
In a LAN am I very shy
this is not the way I want to be.
Ow, user why?

Is it me who is outdated,
Or has everyone upgraded?

You don't seem to care
but some games I barely dare.

Your nice game with hack & slash
always causes me to crash.

Wasted are all my memory banks
especially in that game with tanks.

You are such a spoiled brat
always helped by your dad.

My memories are overwhelming,
there are so many of them
that hard drive space becomes as precious as a gem.

I tremble with fear at the moments you cheer.
Because you think you are cool with that hacking tool.

Your friend's computer once asked me for a date
but it is already clear that I am too late
because my specs aren't even near.

Ow, dear user all I ask is an upgrade
so I won't fade.
Once you do I shall put my limits to the test
and prove all other computers
that I am the best!

Yours faithfully,

Asus 2008
