MD Mom - did you have hardware or software issues? My Toshiba is three years old. So far, the only thing that’s gone wrong is that I’ve killed the hard drive by botching my first Ubuntu installation (because I did this derpy six-partition thing. Hah.) It’s still running beautifully, with 5-sec boot times and everything. (It beats out my dad’s brand new mac at boot-to-word-processor time)

They do make hard drives less robust nowadays, though.
