A Fond Farewell....

We have had 10+ years together; a perfect match. You stuck beside me during many nights of frustration, and were always so trustworthy. Rarely did I ever have to call for someone to help me with you, for you just knew what you were doing. You would light up the room with your warm glow, and would greet me with an attitude of willingness to get the job done. Your activity finally fell steady, and you slowed down in your aging. I didn't want to, but I had to - disconnect your lifeline. Once disconnected, your glow dimmed, and your willingness withered. Where you once were there is now a replacement, but I will always remember you helping me get the job done...reliably. A fond farewell, with much thanks.
Mr. Modem.....

LOL! This cracked me up! Matt said that it looks like a 20 year old modem! It sure didn't age gracefully! :) Congrats on your replacement modem! Wishing you 10 more years of blissfulness!
