After 3 years, my trusty laptop died. In its day it was a great laptop sporting 1GB of RAM and lots of other geeky stuff. I knew its time had come when I had to resign myself to sending it to a repair shop. After a couple of goes, the repair guy gave me the sad news….it was over.
Like a nerdesque organ donor, I told him he could take the “good bits” from the laptop and after a period of mourning, I headed to PC World to buy a Netbook.
