It's not to hold the computer together - although it's almost as old as I am, which is why I'm going to buy a new one quite soon before MICROSOFT withdraws its support for WINDOWS 10 - but to cover up the computer's camera after I received this threatening email:
What does he mean by "I made a video showing how you satisfied yourself"? Since when has overeating on Monte Carlo biscuits become a hanging offence? That five hundred dollars he demands - US dollars, no doubt - would buy be a truckload of Monte Carlo biscuits, so my answer is "no". Still, he had me worried, hence the sticky tape over the camera.
I mean, I don't want anyone else see me without my partial upper dentures. They're still a recent addition to my anatomy and I feel uncomfortable with them, like a horse with a bit in its mouth, so I don't wear them at home when I'm satisfying myself with Monte Carlo bisuits.
