英文短篇故事（紐約）354 A New Laptop (4)

Bob took his new computer home. He was happy to have a new computer. His old computer had had one problem after another. Sometimes Bob thought there was an evil spirit inside it. Sometimes he would be typing in one paragraph, and the letters would appear in the previous paragraph! Sometimes the screen would minimize or maximize while he was typing! Sometimes the arrow pointer would freeze. It wouldn't move again until he unplugged the computer, plugged it back in, and restarted it. The computer was on its third hard drive. The computer had had problems from day one. Right out of the box, the M key didn't work. He had to ship the computer back to the manufacturer to fix the M key. He had spent hours on the phone talking to technicians in India about one problem or another. Tossing the old computer out would be a joy.
