Ahh good reminder. I just last week replaced my Compaq W8000 with an HP XW8200. I got the W8000 out of NBA Entertainment in 2005 (I think) when we replaced it with an XW6000 (which was replaced last year or the year before I forget). The systems at NBAE went into service in (again I think, faulty memory) 2002 or 2001.
Theres really nothing wrong with the W8000 and its lined up to be traded for a pickup load of compost later this spring. Its been a real workhorse, the NBA produced a bunch of video with it and I also produced many videos with it. I only replaced it because its pretty pokey doing HD work and its much louder than the 8200. -Curt Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 11:16:39 -0400 From: Allan Streib <str...@cs.indiana.edu> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: question about older Mac PowerBook Message-ID: <m1ei5s1tm0....@cs.indiana.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Jim Cathey <j...@windwireless.net> writes: > Ever see anybody get 11 years out of a PC? I did, or more accurately could have. When the .com where I was working went belly-up in 2000, I bought my Compaq PC at the liquidation fire sale. Also had an even older Compaq that was given to me by a friend at some point. Both were still working fine late last year when the local university had a free electronic recycling event. We had enough other, newer computers in the household that I decided it was time to thin down a bit.
