Hoarding 42/100 ( #100days writing challenge)

I hoard computers. I am going to get a second-hand computer by Friday. Do I want the device? The truth is, it has been the subject of my search for many months. If it is in good condition, which is possible given the selling individual's feedback history on the online flea market, it can provide me with what I need for my writing hobby. Computers do a lot, but this new-to-me computer will be unnecessary in my household. You need a computer to acquire a computer. So there is something primal about the role of a computing device.

After my personal history of OCD and the traumatizing effects of abandonment, homelessness, and loss, hoarding computers makes some sense, if that is possible. I'm sure that hoarding is not the correct term. But many hoarders would say the same. I already feel a sense of ennui about my next computer. The hunt is the motivation behind my acquiring behavior. Acquisition feels anticlimactic. Windows 10 is sufficient. But the new computer will receive updates for many years into the future—as if I will keep it for more than a year. There is some hope.
