My problem is that until recently, I hardly parted ways with anything computer related. In fact, I still have a copy of "F19 Stealth", a early 80's flight simulator made by a company called Microprose. Since its on 5 1/4" floppies, you think I may use it again? :-) It's a relic, just can't let that one go. Some of those items do hold some sentimental value.

None of those machines is over 4 years old!!! The eMachine was mine... my very first laptop, purchased for me by my grandmother when I got married and moved 800 miles from my family... you know, so I could keep in touch. Then my husband's first HP laptop died and he traded me his desktop for my laptop... I'm telling you, that guy can't make a laptop last more than a year. His current Toshiba is experiencing problems now and may soon join the ranks... You know what makes it even worse? None of those machines is over 4 years old!!!
