How long have you had your computer? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 09-08-2003, 05:56 PM

The one my family and I have is about 3 years old and it's already pretty crappy. The memory is horrible. I thought computers were supposed to be better than that. It's an Imac OS 8 or 9. I also found out that I can't use an iPod with it since it's an old computer. Now, i have to get a new computer first! Anyone else have a computer that's older than 3 years old and how does that work?

The one I'm using right now, my laptop, is 3+ months old. I got it for a graduation present. My father's computer is a couple of years old. My mother's computer, some kind of IMac, is at least over a year old.

(Tip: To check how old your computer is, turn your monitor around and check the manufacture date on the back. There's always a sticker on the back of your monitor with a manufacture date. Add on about 1-2 months to it and that is most likely the date you purchased it.)

As for me....WAY too old. I am still using my ORIGINAL monitor from 1996! Yes, that's right, you heard me correctly. 1996. I was in 6th grade then. The main CPU I am using now is used and is from March 2001. I STILL have my original '96 CPU with Windows 95 that I use only in case of emergencies, like last month with the Blaster worm..This computer (the '01 one) has XP Pro on it and it kept crashing so I had to switch over. The one I'm on now has 184MB of RAM and a 10GB HD. That's just enough to get me around. But, I'd really like a new computer.

GAH. The CPU from '96 has only 16MB of RAM and a 1.19GB HD!! I can remember when 16MB was king.

Ive had mine since 6th grade, and this one since last year.. but the monitor since 2000. The computer next to me is the old one from 2000, and the monitor was given to us about a year or 2 ago. This is the only one we use though.

If I'm doing the math right, you've had your computer since 1995. You've beat me at the oldest CPU, but can you beat my old monitor?

I've had my new computer since January of this year, but I still have my old one too.
