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?

Ah - the wrist computer muse is almost as catching as the donut one! *g*

Lovely drabble. I'd never thought about how long it might actually last.
