Zhenia, yet again, but actually the computer this time (there is actually a huge difference between the character and the computer, DUH)

I started on this a long, long time ago, just about when I started to realise that my computer was slowly dying on me. Or... not really dying, since he can still maintain everyday functions really well, but I've reached the limit for installing new programs, upgrading others and how much I can have on the harddrive before he starts slowing down.
In short, I need a new computer.

I know that's not uncommon, since he's five years old - he should have broken down three years ago considering that it's an Acer, seriously - but that's also the problem. He's five years old.
Do you have any idea how many hours I've spent in front of this damned screen? And how much of my life he really contains? Due to this, it's pretty depressing to have to face the fact that I can't keep him forever. Computers - especially laptops - get outdated, and he simply isn't as good anymore, no matter how much I've learned to keep him as functionable as possible.
It's a machine after all, and they will eventually stop working no matter how well you take care of them.

So that's why I drew this. Of course he can't be hospitalised for real, but it's a good way to show what's really happening, since it's really just a question of waiting for him to break down (although I doubt that he will)
And yes, I am over emotional and silly

But it makes me sad, alright? He's been with me for so long and even though I am quite certain that I will never throw him away - rather keep him as a gaming computer for the XP games I have - I can't keep him either, since he's definitely not in his prime anymore.

And yes, in case you didn't know, those other three people are my scanner Gabriel - the one reading - my tablet Miranda - the girl by the window - and my mp3-player Ilya - the tiny, adorable emo.
They are of course there because they spend quite a lot of time with Zhenia, and because it would have been cruel to draw him alone at a hospital...
Besides, it added quite a lot of emotions.

So. This has been around for a while, simply because I did not feel like finishing it, and what in the end made me do it was the song Soundscape to Ardor from the third Bleach soundtrack, since it put me in the exactly right mood.

Here you have it anyway.
Probably the last tribute to my awesome, cranky, worn computer, who's been with me for years and years, but won't be with me for that much longer.

It's been awesome, but all things comes to an end.
I'll miss him, even if he's just a machine.

I love you dude
