[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1246982, member: 24160"] While everyone likes to pick on the first item of my post, I'll just reiterate the other options I also mentioned: trade it sell it hang on to it continue using it for the things it will still perform and I left one off: find a youngster who's parents can't afford a computer and give it away - that's what I did with all of my [B]one[/B] year old machines - spend some time with them getting it set up and teaching them some about how to use it - the return smiles you'll get will make it extremely worthwhile I'm sorry, but as someone that had to shell out for a new computer every single year for well over a decade and a half if I wanted to play the new game that just came out or use just about any other new piece of software - and in DOS and Windows mind you - I firmly believe that all these folks living only in the age of computers lasting for 4 & 5 years have got it made in the shade compared to where we were during the late 80's to the early 00's. Just be glad you weren't buying computers when everything from the processor to the GPU to memory and bus speeds were doubling every year instead of the 3-5 years it's taking today. I make no excuses for my comments. And it's got nothing to do with Apple or Adobe or MS. Computing technology has not yet reached the point of standing still. Four to five years for a computer though, they have come a long ways, with a long ways to go. [/QUOTE]
