My trusty VAIO finally kicked the bucket, after about 3 years of pretty reliable performance. This was on top of the fact that I bought it used in the first place, when it was about 3 years old already. My landlady’s gutters are clogged, and with a recent rainstorm, it sends a waterfall of water down the side of her house, right onto her deck, which is conviniently situated above the entrance of my basement apartment. Since the windows aren’t made to take that amount of water, it started leaking through the wood, and onto my desk, effectively killing good old VAIO. Now I’m typing away on a Toshiba that I got on special from bestbuy, the basic specs alone are pretty amazing in comparison.
I guess being pake has its downsides, in that you tend to settle for older technology. honestly this is the first time I’ve had a PC with a hard drive larger than 3 gigs, and a CD burner. kind of sad, yeah I know. My reasoning was that I was going to wait until I started school so I could make good the student discounts. I was hopeing that the VAIO would last until august, and honestly it probably would have, had it not gotten rained on. then again this is the first computer that I spent more than 200 bucks for too, so there goes the tradeoff.
