How old is your computer?
« on: July 06, 2008, 01:19:18 PM »
How old are the computers in your house? Also state the age of the computer that ur currently using to log in here.

I have just one a Sony Vaio from November 2005 so it's about 3 years old.

My computer is of mixed age. That's because I built it myself (that was back in 2003) but am constantly upgrading it. I recently replaced the video card, CPU, and RAM.

My mothers computer is about 6 months old. She bought it in January, I believe.

I got this iBook as a Christmas present in 2004, and I've had my Compaq PC since October 2005. I also have a Power Mac G3 which we got in Spring 1999, whose performance hasn't been good in recent years and is dieing (it will soon be replaced, probably with an iMac or MacBook). There's also a late 80's/early 90's Macintosh IIci that has been sitting on the shelf since we got the G3.

This HP Pavilion laptop - a little over a month old
Other HP Pavilion laptop - three and a half years old (suffered a power connector failure, recently got it repaired)
HP Pavilion desktop - two and a half years old (already suffered a motherboard failure, possibly about to suffer an HDD failure)
3 other HP Pavilions desktops - one from 2000, one from 1999, and one from 1998 (They're all pretty sluggish and not really in use anymore.)
