curry 0 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Lots of talk about new computers. I seem to get the almost uncontrollable urge to get a new one every 2 years or so. How often do you get a new one? Had my Dell notebook for nearly 2 years now, and thinking of buying again. Just cant help it! Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I hate the way almost as soon as you get a new one, look in the shops a few months later and yours looks OLD. Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Yep, I'm an every two yearer myself. I've actually got three usable computers sitting in my room. I'm just not sure what to do with the old ones. I may send my last HP to my brother and I may just burn my older gateway for sheer joy. I hate computers, yet I love them too....Such a conundrum.

Worm 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 My current one is nearly 3 years old and I'd like to get a new one, maybe later this year. What does everyone do with their old PCs? Link to post Share on other sites
thelovelyjen 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I gave my old PC to my parents who I now can send email to! Link to post Share on other sites
green 0 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 3 machines in the last 7 years Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I try not to get too carried away with it all, coz I don't NEED the latest thing. It can be very tempting though, I'm looking into getting a new desktop this year so much to choose from its difficult to know where to start. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I wish I could justify a new one every year, but alas I can't. The last few have been got 2-3 yrs between them Link to post Share on other sites
BigSausage 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Due for a purchase soon even cutting back on the beer to justify that better chip. Link to post Share on other sites
base40 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I've managed with 2 in 10 years and its still going ok. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 oh man, i think i killed my computer the other day. have to try a few more things to resusitate it, then i may be in the market for a new one. I would love a new G5 or G4 mac or something, i just cant afford one now. Link to post Share on other sites
fantastic 0 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Both my notebook and desktop on about 2 yr cycles. 1 year I get a new notebook, the next year I get a new desktop etc. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'll fall into that 3-5 yrs category then. Just can't really justify any more than that. Link to post Share on other sites
curry 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 I suppose that makes me feel a bit better about it. Onto the catalogues. Link to post Share on other sites
metroid256 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Over the last 10 years I have bought 6 computers (3 desktops and 3 notebooks). Scary. Link to post Share on other sites
skemmygirl 0 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Anyone here have any keyboard preferences? I hate the Vaio keyboard I've used on a notebook. Dell notebooks have nice keyboards, feel good. The keyboard is such a big part of using a PC, I always like to play around with them before making a choice. Link to post Share on other sites
