Summary: Jack gets a new wrist computer.


The strap on his wrist computer finally gave out somewhere around its seventh century.  Since some of the mechanisms still worked he had a case constructed so he could carry it around in his pocket.  Two thousand years later, when every circuit had fried, he relegated it to a spot on the mantelpiece.

Eventually, in the 51st Century again, he bought himself a new one.  Even though it was the same make and model as his first, he found it terribly uncomfortable to wear. He had no idea why; it was the same and he was the same, wasn’t he?

I already said this is great, but I'll say it again. Because I can. And it is. I can see Jack getting attached to the things that he's managed to keep for so long.
