I control what's on it, have only filled the 60-gig hard disk half full, and when the screen light inverter quit, I merely hooked it up to a desktop monitor and kept on computing.<br /><br />For travel, since I am a connectivity freak, I have a Verizon netbook machine, so the Fujitsu soldiers on. The then-advanced laptop cost me $1600, and I will run it until it gives up it's smoke. I back it up to a separate hard drive, religiously.Rivrdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685083857476811667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-2804818585769606852010-08-06T17:55:04.665-05:002010-08-06T17:55:04.665-05:00I have a friend with a shotgun attitude towards co...I have a friend with a shotgun attitude towards computers. He thinks of a computer like he thinks of a shotgun. You buy one in 1999, and in 2009 it's still good as new so why should he get a new one? By golly, it still looks and works just fine. Never mind the fact that he dropped his Internet plan because the Internet is too hard to use. I have tried and can't make him understand why he needs a new computer. I'm to the point of telling him I'm tired of answering questions he could put in a Google window.Jnoreply@blogger.com
