  woo, happy birthday. i suppose buying her drinks wouldn’t be the best idea, huh? my unnamed laptop turned 4 this summer. he needs to be put out to pasture soon.

  happy birthday little red computer!

• rachelleb // Oct 20, 2003 at 9:44 pm

  ahem. .. she’s not “red”!!!!!!

• rachelle // Oct 20, 2003 at 9:51 pm

  tien, you just give me the drinks for ruby.. and .. ill.. uh.. make sure she gets them!

• tien // Oct 20, 2003 at 9:57 pm

  sounds like a plan. and does giving you drinks make your face turn the same color as ruby’s body?

• rachelleb // Oct 20, 2003 at 10:37 pm

  dont be lookin at my baby’s body!!!!

  no birthday greetings from uncle mark? he has had such input in how ruby has grown up and developed.. he was even there when i adopted ruby… he may have even introduced us!! ruby will be sad..

• tien // Oct 20, 2003 at 10:47 pm

  dude, ruby’s body rocks. have you seen those curves?!?

• Mark Shewmaker // Oct 21, 2003 at 5:08 am

  I never seem to remember birthdays. I’ll probably go to hell for that.

  Happy Birthday, Ruby.

• rachelleb // Oct 21, 2003 at 8:02 am

  that’s true. ruby forgives you.

• rachelleb // Oct 21, 2003 at 8:31 am

  tien! she’s only 3, you pervert!

  actually, how does that translate into human years?

  (my fave ruby vid.. shows off the curves quite well)

• NG // Oct 21, 2003 at 8:52 am

  you’re a goof. what i want to know is – how the heck do you remember the day you got ruby? do you remember the day you met me? ha ha

• rachelleb // Oct 21, 2003 at 9:16 am

  no, but i remember your birthday!

• lili // Oct 21, 2003 at 9:20 am

  ~~Go Ruby it’s your birthday get busy!~~~
  Woo-Hoo…Happy 3rd B-day Ruby!
  (hope comp.’s aren’t like kids- the terrible 3s)

• tien // Oct 21, 2003 at 9:58 am

  hmm…3 in computer years has got to be of age. i mean, the lifespan of a computer is maybe 5 years? since the life expectancy for women in this country is now 80 years, ruby would be around 48-ish? so i think it’s okay for me to comment on her curves.

• joel // Oct 21, 2003 at 11:06 am

  “ahem. .. she’s not ‘red’!!!!!!”

  hmmm .. well ok then.

  Happy Birthday little rose-colored computer!

  scarlet?
  crimson?
  vermillion?

• rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 11:07 am

  uh.. hello!? RUBY!!!!!!!

• joel // Oct 21, 2003 at 11:15 am

  uuhh-hehehe that rhymes with “Booby”

  BAAAHH I’M JUST PLAYIN’!!@$@#$ ;-D

  HAPPY BIRFDAYZ RUBY!!!

• rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 11:29 am

  better be playin! ruby is super-sensative about being confused with the strawberry imac. ew.

• scott // Oct 21, 2003 at 2:35 pm

  People, people. Do you think Ruby needs to be exposed to this discussion of race?!? Strawberry, ruby, grape, etc…..I mean, aren’t we all basically the same in the Great Jobs’ eyes? (Except, of course the tangerine!)

• rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 3:33 pm

  you’re right.. but i’ve still always had something against the lifesaver colored imacs – strawberry, lime, tangerine, grape and blueberry. they’re too cutesy.

• jeannette // Oct 21, 2003 at 4:21 pm

  happy birthday, ruby! you (and rachelle) have provided me with much good reading!

  (btw, today is the first day i realized one could comment on your links. when did you start that? i’m so out of it…)

• Richard // Oct 21, 2003 at 4:21 pm

  Happy Birthday, Ruby!

  My Mr. Indigo will turn 3 in two months. Since I’m moving to SF I wasn’t sure I could bring him with me. According to my dealer the voltage will be now problem. I’m happy as a Mac that I don’t have to put him in a permanent sleep!

• rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 4:27 pm

  jeannette – beginning of the summer? or so? i was going to tell you when you kept commenting on the main blog posts instead of the link blog, but i kept forgetting.

  richard – happy early birthday to mr. indigo. where are you moving from again? i remember seeing it on your site but now i cant remember!

• dad bowden // Oct 21, 2003 at 5:51 pm

  Did you buy it on a Tuesday
  You could have called
  Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones
  She would never say where she came from
  Yesterday don’t matter if its gone
  While the sun is bright
  Or in the darkest night
  No one knows
  She comes and goes
  Who could hang a name one you
  When you change with every new day
  Don’t question why, she needs to be free
  She’ll tell you its the only way to be free
  She just can’t be chained
  To a life where nothings gained
  And nothing lost
  At such a cost
  There’s no time to lose , I heard her say
  Catch your dreams before they slip away
  Dying all the time
  Lose your dreams
  And lose your mind
  Ain”t life unkind
  Happy Birthday Ruby

  Goodbye Ruby

  Ruby & Rachelle In October 2000, Mark and I went to Comp USA in Kearny Mesa and I adopted Ruby. Since then she’s been with me through thick and thin, from California to New York and finally making her…
