"Can you believe it -- the other DAY someone BROKE my ___ !" bemoans Jumble. "Now how am I going to type all those e-mails and letters without this particular input device?
2. Jumble has just come back from the store, all ready to install his exciting new computer game! Only to realize, too late, that his computer doesn't meet the system requirements. "It seems MY computer needs MORE ___ -- the random-access kind, not read-only. Another 256-megabyte stick should do," Jumble decides.
3. "Hmm," Jumble pondered, "I need to find information about TEN INERT elements. I think I'll access the World Wide Web to do some research."
4. Due TO some not-so-MINOR problems with his cathode ray tube device, Jumble decides to spring for a new display. "I'll just head down to the local electronics store and look at a liquid crystal display device," Jumble says. "It will take up much less desk space than the rather bulky and heavy one I have now."
5. One day Audio, a friend of Jumble's, came by to play his favorite compact disc for Jumble. After putting it in the disc drive, and telling the media program to "play," they hear no music! As they PEER at the two sound devices, Jumble ASKS himself, "Did I forget to turn the volume up?"
6. Eco-conscious Jumble always makes sure to have his monitor turn itself off after an hour or so to conserve power, but before it turns off, he does like to watch the ___ come on for a bit!

7. Always the skeptic, Jumble has kept his distance from the latest Microsoft Windows releases and stuck with his favorite, if mildly outdated, version. "Perhaps someday I will OPT to try a newer version. YET all the SAME," Jumble GRINS, "you won't catch me in any hurry to get Vista."
8. "I think I'll run defrag on my storage drives today. It might take a few hours, but it should help improve the speed and performance of my computer -- things have been a little sluggish of late. Although," ADDS Jumble, "had I not been SHIRKing my duties and done this long ago, the defragmentation process on these devices would undoubtedly be much quicker."
9. "Oh, how I DO ABHOR the TERM 'fried' in relation to my electronics!" Jumble cries. "Which seems to describe this virtually melted piece of hardware right now: the heart of my computer containing the central processing unit, among other key elements. Ah, well, off to search my vast array of spare hardware for another."
10. Jumble has returned from a weekend trip to the mountains with a digital camera full of snapshots! He gets out his handy plug-and-play card reader, plugs it into one of the sockets on the front of his computer (without having to reboot the computer), and gets the pictures off the camera's card. "I could just take the card to the store, BUT," Jumble says, "I'll do it like the PROS instead."
