Nemo only purchases the finest computer components available

You may be wondering where Nemo has been since his last post of a couple of days ago. I can't be sure, of course, but I do have a theory -- and I'm sure that I'm not alone. Regular visitors to The Lost City will have noticed a peculiar pattern in Nemo's computer-related posts:

1. Nemo disappears for a few days.

2. Nemo reappears, revealing that he had not been abducted by aliens or left for dead in Tijuana, as we had suspected, but that he had in fact been in his living room the whole time, surrounded by the sputtering wreckage of his malfunctioning computer.

3. Nemo then tells an amusing tale of why his computer wasn't working, why it took so long to repair it, and why he steadfastly refuses to be sensible and buy one that actually works. This is usually framed as a heroic "man-against-nature" story along the lines of The Odyssey.

4. Nemo disappears once again, as his just-repaired computer bursts into flames.
