Life Expectancy of a Computer

Someone screwed up how computers work, and I blame it on Bill Gates.

I had one typewriter in 50 years. But I’ve bought seven computers in six years.

I suppose that’s why Bill Gates is rich and Underwood is out of business.

The old PC in our home office could definitely use replacing.  It still works – about as well as it ever did – but Honey often mentions that it is too slow.

Over the years, I added memory and a second CD drive, but it won’t play, much less record, DVDs.  It often times out when trying to watch videos from the internet.

I found a local source for some almost new PCs with all the bells and whistles for around $100, but she says she’d rather keep the money and make due with what we have.
