Betty the Harddrive (2003-2008)


After several years of faithful service, Betty the Hard Drive passed away Thursday night due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. Just a child by human years, Betty recent celebrated her 5th birthday. Betty stuck by her master's side through 8 apartments and 24 roommates. She loved to run, to memorize things and, towards the end of her life, to skip. Last November, Betty became very ill with the onsaught of alzheimer's and we thought we may lose her, however, with the prayers of friends and family, and the help of I.T. consultant S'ven Haderlie, she was able to stay with us these past four months.

Despite her undying loyalty to her master, Jared Garlick, it is believed that Betty was an evil Harddrive, and is more than likely now burning in hell.

Betty the Harddrive is survived by her Motherboard, Betty the Motherboard.

What a lovely eulogy. Its really too bad that Betty had to burn in hell after such a precious recap of her life. lol.
Anyway, now that I have the link to your blog plan on having it be forever immortalized as a link on our blog (because our blog is cool like that).

That is so sad for you that she had to die. Oh well, now you can have a new one and call her Betty the 3rd.

Okay, so I had a misspelling in my last comment post and I deleted it. Yes, I'm a freak.

So that was a funny post. But sad for you because I'm sure that little death caused you a bit of stress. But you've really had 24 roomates in 5 years?! That is actually pretty incredible.
