livingdeb | Old Computer Broke for Good (Reply)

Yep, my computer is totaled. I should look up when I bought it. Robin thinks four years ago. I think a computer should last indefinitely except for the part where suddenly you want to do things that require more stuff, like new (bigger) software. Or like when I started wanting to see pictures on the web. But the only new thing I've wanted to do was watch YouTube, and I could do that just fine on my computer until it broke.

I once thought I wouldn't need my own computer at home until I quit working at a job with computer access. But now I do a lot more personal stuff with computers, so I really shouldn't be spending that much time at work. Since I got my own computer, I have definitely started using it quite a lot. So, I will be replacing it.

And I love having a notebook instead of a desktop. So I'll spend the extra bucks for that. And I love having an operating system that just works, so I'll spend the extra bucks for that.

Apple is making some kind of big announcements tomorrow, so I'll decide then what to do. Buy the black Macbook at a suddenly reduced price? Buy the suddenly available exciting new thing at a similar price to the current thing? Buy Robin's friend's "old" computer when he replaces it with one of the suddenly available new things?
