memory

[Brian Cluff]

Don't get me wrong.  I've only had a couple of laptops die ever.  I just 
don't invest anything extra in them after a couple of years.  It just 
makes more sense to save your money and get another better one than it 
does to pour a bunch on money into a laptop that is well past it's prime.
