Old hardware

2017-03-04 02:27:52.098686+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Just ordered a new laptop for Charlene, 'cause I was pretty sure hers was approaching 8 or 9 years old. And then looked up how old the laptop I'm currently using is. Holy crap we keep technology around a looooooong time in this household. I mean, I guess it makes sense, 'cause we're not gamers and when I need to do serious compute I either let it run for days or do it on leased servers in "the cloud", but my day-to-day laptop is over 6 years old...
