They say that one year is seven dog years. Alas, having known a number of wonderful dogs, I have learned to accept the fact that you rarely get to spend more than about fourteen years in their delightful company.
At the moment I am dealing with a rapidly aging computer. It seemed like only yesterday that it was shiny and new and super fast. But age is now quickly catching up with it.
And I am reminded once again of a truth that I learned a long time ago: One dog year is seven computer years.
