2. My macbook ran for nine solid years. One day it simply went poof

and would not turn again. It actually went off in the middle of an essay, since I run the backup I lost three paragraphs, literally. So I went and got the Macbook I am currently using, an Macbook pro.

Nine years, is not too shabby for electronics.

This particular computer, we bought it as a gaming machine at a specialized place and had some issues. They never ever honored the guarantee. It's had a few components replaced. We literally had this place that is local and works on win machines recommended. Anybody in San Diego with a Win machine, I would have no problem recommending them.

They are top notch. So in January we will drop it off, or rather I will on a Monday, and by Wednesday or Thursday Tom will have a new gaming rig that should last him a few years again, perhaps even close to a decade. Since he games a lot, and Mac is still playing catchup with that market... otherwise we would get a Mac for that too.
