The Buckets by Greg Cravens for December 14, 2011
Transcript:
Before you know what kind of computer to buy, you need to know what you're going to do with it. I'm going to pretend to work. Virtual Legos! Blowing up things... Online. Talking with friends on Facebook. Solitaire. Ah. So, you'll need a... A box to keep our lives in, yes.

One computer per five people? What a concept! In our family we have five computers for four people, and if I have my way it’ll soon be six!♪♫ All I want for Christmas … ♫♪

Seven for the 2 of us … uh, that DOES sound like overkill, when put that way, doesn’t it … but they’re all useful, and we can now work anywhere…

We have eight computers in my house. My wife and I each have our own. Each of our four kids have their own. One in the home office and one for the grandkids.

The funny thing about this is … Greg didn’t ask me for anything other than a photo, to draw me from. However, Panel 1, is exactly what I say to someone, who says they want to buy a computer!..Greg – I want to thank you. Christmas is a tough time of year for me. In 2007, my friend, mentor and “papa”, died after a short fight with cancer. He died Christmas Eve. So every Christmas, I get a wee bit depressed. I try to hide it by joking and laughing … but it’s there. However, seeing my ugly mug up here has lifted me up quite a bit. Thank you for the Christmas Gift… you’re a good man!

We have 6 computers for 5 of us. 5 are laptops and one is a PC. Soon to be 7, as I got my daughter a “bells and whistles” laptop for Christmas for college.
@AllanVS: My beloved Mother had a massive stroke two days before last Christmas. She passed in January. I am also struggling to get in the spirit this year. Mom was our rock.

We have 3 computers for just the 2 of us. We wouldn’t want to be stuck in a room where we couldn’t update our Facebook page now, would we? That, and the cell phone which counts as a computer anymore.

1 computer for 7 of us, and then there’s my hubby’s laptop for school, so really about 2 for 8.

I feel sooooo underdressed. 1 person. 1 laptop, just for home. Though I do have a smartphone.
