“And they were singing,
’bye-bye, Miss American Pie.’
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', ‘this'll be the day that I die.
this'll be the day that I die.’
They were singing,
’bye-bye, Miss American Pie.’
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', ‘this'll be the day that I die.’”
McLean, Don. "American Pie." Lyrics. American Pie. United Artists, 1971.

SUBJECT: Dell notebook & rosary
Monday morning I awoke to a blue screen and a whole bunch of words on my Dell notebook. I was on my way to take a shower so I didn’t even read what was there, I just pressed the button to do a hard reboot. It never regained consciousness. Later that morning, I took it to a computer repair shop for diagnosis. They called today. The motherboard had expired. That’s the bad news. The good news is, we use an on-line back up service (Carbonite) for our documents, pictures and music files, so those are not lost. And, my hard drive is still accessible - so I will be able to get to all my programs. The other good news is…Now I will get a new notebook! It’s definitely going to be another Dell. This one lasted over 5 years and until yesterday, didn’t give me an ounce of trouble. Rest in peace my electronic friend, you served me well.
