I bought my computer in February 2004, which makes it roughly 4.5 years old.
I currently run 2 OSes on it, Windows SP2 and Ubuntu 8.04. Since buying the computer, I have never had an OS upgrade for which I needed to pay anything. Compared to the computer I use at work (I am a J2EE developer) it is slower, but still does what I need. The slowest thing I have run on it is SQL Server 2005 which I needed for some side work, but it still ran fast enough to server the need. This computer runs Safari 3.1.1 with no problem. Middle-aged, maybe? On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 1:27 PM, Steve Rigby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Aug 26, 2008, at 1:02 PM, Tom Piwowar wrote: > > Ditto for your Safari.
