My best friend is a PC
By Lucy Sherriff
Posted: 24/02/2004 at 12:31 GMT

There is a good chance your kids think more highly of their computer more than they do of you, according to a survey published today.

Children in Britain are bonding, en masse, with technology: nearly half (45 per cent) consider their computer a friend, and nearly two thirds (61 per cent) say they are extremely fond of their PCs. Adults are less sentimental. Even so, a third consider their chunk of silicon and plastic to be a buddy, and close to half say they'd be lost without it.

Read the rest here.

Without a PC I don't think this little group would be together.

Thats neet, but I don't use something like that. If I were to get dirt in the keyboard I just turn it over and beat it real hard on the desk top. Works for me.
