GOOGLE, YOU'RE KILLING MY COMPUTER!!!

Dear Google,

I do love your special technological commemorations of certain days and people, but the interactive ones are killing my computer!

The last one with which I attempted to interact (little people navigating a room, controlled by the arrow keys) had my computer literally FROZEN and SCREAMING...with pain? I don't know, but EEEEEEE EEEEEEEE EEEEEEE doesn't sound too comfortable to me. I thought it was going to drop dead in front of my eyes and almost slipped it two aspirin to keep it alive.

I mentioned this to my technologically savvy friend Daniel, who snapped, "Oh, that's ridiculous!" so I figured it was a one-time thing.

UNTIL Earth Day, and your adorable little interactive commemoration of same. Click on Earth Day sun, FREEZE and EEEEEEE EEEEEEE EEEEEEE all over again.

Now I know my computer is ancient (might as well be 2005 B.C.) and unable to keep up with the increasingly sophisticated, complicated new-newer-newest technology, but now I can't even play with your delightful Google interactive games?? That's just not fair to a senior citizen with an even more senior computer!

And since I am a Google Blogger in good standing (thank goodness your Google birthday wish to me last year was a still one) and since you can probably afford at least 100,000,00,000,000 brand-spanking-new computers, how about thanking me with just one of them ~ a little gesture of good will in these miserable times for older people?

If you'd like, I will devote an entire month's worth of blogs to the many virtues of Google, including (and especially) its adorableness and clever commemorations ~ especially the interactive ones, if I can ever play with them again.

How about it, Google? You know where you can reach me.

(Hell, you know where you can reach ANYBODY!)
