An ode to everyone who works in a lab


I have spent many many hours of my life in a lab. This is due to the fact that i have taken many hours of lab at my school and I have managed to work in a lab every year. This little beauty to my left i think is the apple 2. it is still up and running just as well as the day it was made. Due to the incredible cost of technology and the fact that at a university you need about 10 of everything, at my school if it aint broke dont fix it, or waste your time buying a new one. I have heard tons of stories of people in labs that need a 3 piece equipment set to run an experiment but one of them broke, and in order to continue they need to buy all three pieces. Well I am sure there is an apple 2 graveyard out there. I have had my eyes on a macbook ever since I got my first laptop. I am stuck in the PC age and I want out badly. However, I do have a functioning computer at my fingertips. Should I retire it like so many apple2s or just wait until it breaks on its own?
