"A Conversation With Your Old AIM"

(A college student uses his home computer for the first time since going to college)

Theo: Wow, I haven’t been on this computer since high school.

Active Update: A new version of AIM is currently available, would you like to upgrade?

Theo: No thanks… “Later (click)”

AIM: Theo my man! What’s up? I havn’t seen you in 4evR!? LOL ROFL LMAO!!!

Theo: Oh great, I see you haven’t changed since high school…

AIM: Yeah man! What happened? We used to talk to chicks every night after you did your homework!

Theo: Well, I got that cell phone a while back and I guess texting just took over…

AIM: Texting!? You left me for a cell phone?

Theo: Actually I left you for Skype and Facebook chat. Those have great video options and with Facebook, I don’t have to worry about asking anyone for their screen name.

AIM: Where’s the fun in that!? What happened to the days of “LADYZMAN1117” chatting with “sexilexi69” and all the sexual innuendos that were followd by a “jk…” and that smiley face with sunglasses?!   

Theo: I’m sorry AIM, I’ve grown up since then.

AIM: I miss sexilexi69’s responses with that pursed lips girl smiley…

Theo: I don’t know what to tell you. People just don’t use you like we used to… I promise to keep you on though…

AIM: NO!

Theo: What’s wrong?

AIM: Your sister did that to me once… It was horrible… Nothing but un-witty, stupid “away messages” and aim Bots asking me to respond with a “1” if I wanted to lookup a movie or hear the latest gossip…

Theo: Well do you want me to upgrade you atleast?

AIM: No thanks, I kinda like the old school look of this place.

Theo: Well I’m going to sign off for good this time AIM, we had a great run…

AIM: Theo…

Theo: Yes AIM?

AIM: Can you do one last thing for me before you go?

Theo: Sure, anything…

AIM: Well, do you remember that file folder we hid in the “c: drive” and titled it “Grandma’s pictures”…
