Have fun at the electronics store

Almost 4 years old.

Up until the end, he was quite stable and reliable. So I just assumed he was a he.

Hehe.

I wonder who here has the oldest operating computer. We have a Dell that's about 6 years old, I think, though we dont' really use it.

My Dell 8200 is still running and until I buy a new something-or-other is my PC that is currently in use. I bought it in 2000. After I replace the brakes in the car and buy a new bed to sleep on, this is next in line for replacement with a new model, notebook of some sort. I'm still on the fence, PC with Vista or covert to Mac?

I have a Compaq laptop with Windows Millennium Edition. It functions till the OS crashes (usually an hour to an hour and a half of internet use, then it starts hopping off line every 5 minutes until you restart it).

You meant operating as in "can" operate, not as in "on active duty", right?

I have a pair of Apple //e's that still work. I pull them out from time to time for retro game night. I still love loadrunner.
