Wow, this is familiar. I saw on another post about abasket and her DS’s computer woes and clicked on this.

My S bought a Sony Vaio last year the weekend after Windows 7 came out. He spent a lot of his own money on this computer and was really happy with it. His old computer was the one he bought to go to college with and although it was pretty beat up, it still worked.

The first week of classes the hard drive on his Sony died. It wasn’t even a year old. But he’s an engineering major and pretty handy so instead of messing with Sony’s customer service he went out and bought a $50 hard drive and put it in himself. For $50 he figured why mess with exactly what abasket S has gone through.

My D’s computer died last winter during an east coast blizzard.

I am typing on a 10 year old desktop, why do these new laptops die and mine keeps going and going.
