@Stranger: I once had a laptop with a battery life of roughly 40 seconds.

It also had a broken charger since someone stepped on it and made smoke come out. YOU HAVE IT EASY!

Wow Tharwen. That really sucks.

Though, perhaps it might have been because the laptop was crap, rather than it lying to you.

But the threats do nothing.

@The unusual one: Yeah, that laptop was 4 years old back then, and I still have it 4 years later (but it has a new battery and charger). The RAM now gets completely filled by running any browser.

@Rob: My parents would still be using AOL to access web pages and their email if I hadn't installed Firefox on every bit of hardware I could get my hands on and forced them to use it.

@Tharwen: Wow. I think it might be about time to upgrade. I am being forced to do so with my desktop, since it just died. Besides, they are pretty cheap.....

But I think we discussed this before.

@Stranger: Oh no, I don't actually use it. I have a desktop that looks like [a href="http://images.tweaktown.com/imagebank/nzxt_beta_intro.png"]this[/a] now. The laptop is actually a backup backup computer, after my MacBook.

Indeed! You should be an IT consultant.

And on that note, I'll allow myself to recuperate in order to be able to perform basic bodily functions tomorrow. Like seeing.
