Does your laptop go by the name of "Lappy 486?"

No, it was pre-Lappy 486 era, but I did like the marketing blurb on Lappy 486, it's so true.

My iBook has served me well, the only problem that I have been having it that it is slow with new programs. 

[RainbowTigress]

My old laptop is a P90.  I could barely even run The Sims 1 on it.    Not to mention that I barely had the hard drive space for it.

Whoever told you that lied. Sony makes shit laptops. The AC adapters are intentionally designed with a mean-time-to-failure that happens to be just slightly longer than the warranty will last. Don't buy those. Secondary RAM jack is also made in a similar manner.

Really, laptops are very very expensive, and if you want to get a good one, you basically have to custom order them. They'll run you about $25K, but mine will survive being submerged to a depth of 2500 feet, being dropped from a height of 4 floors, and can be used as a bulletproof riot shield and withstand a direct hit from an AK-47 at 100 meters and still be unscathed. Mild drawbacks include being the "incredibly portable 42 pounds" (actually more like 50), and of course, as with all laptops, the impressive battery life of one half of ten minutes. Fortunately, mine has two battery ports which thus enable the battery to be hotswapped, so you can carry the extras you need on a bandolier.

Good god man, if you keep shooting, kicking and dropping them, no wonder the bloody connections get loose!

It doesn't. I didn't buy a Sony, I just saw the horror stories of those who did. Don't buy a Sony.

The word 'mine' usually means that you possess it, Pescado...or was it owned by one of your multiple personalities?

You're just jealous you don't have one.

[Lythdan]

But I don't like Sony. Why would I want one anyway?

Sony makes shit laptops.

And my giving that sort of response, kinda causes one to assume that you do possess such a object.

[J. M. Pescado]

And my giving that sort of response, kinda causes one to assume that you do possess such a object.

No, it just means I learn quickly from even the negative experiences of others, which is why I don't make the same stupid mistakes you do.

[Lythdan]

So why would I be jealous of an inferior object?  And as for making stupid mistakes...I'm not the one who owns a Sony laptop.

[Ness]

wouldn't the correct word be inferior?

[J. M. Pescado]

So why would I be jealous of an insuperior object?  And as for making stupid mistakes...I'm not the one who owns a Sony laptop.

I don't own one. I've just heard lots of horror stories from people who do. I have a very nice, custom, expensive one that happens to be Lythdan-proof.

Is it Pescado-proof? 

[MsMaria]

Which Pescado? The tall-taled fishman or the gun slinging hitman?
Hmmm..I guess that would be one and the same after all
