It doesn't take too much before they become old. Computer technology is worse then cars. As soom as you buy one the new tech crap is out making your fairly new one an old shoe. I seem to be able to keep a computer for 4 years and then it is time to go to computer heaven. seven years is pretty good. :grin: I sure can understand about the computer.

That said, my computer is 6 years old and I recently just bought some new memory and a bigger harddisk and now I think it's good for a few more years. Definitely way cheaper than getting a new one. If it's just getting too slow, you might think about just formating everything and setting the system up anew. You'd be surprised how much of a difference that can make. On the other hand, nothing beats the fun of having a shiny new toy...

At seven years old...it's time to get new hardware. Just be careful when you go out to buy new media for your new computer. I bought media, not thinking about the new machine I had...and everything I bought turned out to be incompatible with my new, much-faster CD and DVD drives! Good luck on the quest for new technology (says a woman who used the same home computer for ten years before buying a new one last January.) Yep. At seven years old…it’s time to get new hardware.

Mine is slow too compared to mine at work but unlike you, I am bad and do do a lot of stuff online at work if I have finished my work! But I will say I can still blog and look at pictures and surf the net. I even downloaded episodes of LOST and watched them ok!! Still, it would be a lot better if it didn't have to think so much and the biggest issue it has is itunes. Mine is up too!

I miss mine so bad and it's all I can do to not run out and buy one right now. It was wonderful. I could putter anywhere! A 7 year old computer isn't just darn old it's ANCIENT! Mine is acting up too - I think it must have a virus or something. Takes forever to load and I can't access blogspot blogs at all (well sometimes they'll open up). Get a new one :) :cool: I LOVE a laptop!! I miss mine so bad and it’s all I can do to not run out and buy one right now. It was wonderful. I could putter anywhere!
