Broken Switch

My Dell lap­top is right at two years old and is start­ing to dis­in­te­grate on me. The sound only works if I plug a jack into it, the for­ward slash key only works if you press the top-right cor­ner and the whole she-bang is get­ting bogged down because of my inabil­i­ty to refor­mat the bas­tard. Thank you, Dell, for refus­ing to send me a back­up disk and putting a hid­den par­ti­tion on the machine with­out ask­ing me first.

I real­ly want to get a Mac or Mac­Book Pro, but I would feel rather irre­spon­si­ble get­ting a new machine after only two years.

    Don’t feel that way. Just buy a new machine if you can afford it. It’s been my expe­ri­ence with elec­tron­ic giz­mos that they WILL break. It’s a hid­den cost .

  2. Well, you could have bought a mac in the first place 😉
    Seri­ous­ly, they do last longer. Both my lap­top (2 yrs old) and Genevieve’s (4 yrs old) are still going strong with no prob­lems.

  3. The only rea­son I did­n’t get a Mac last time was because I could­n’t play my old video games on it. Now that Macs use Intel chips, that’s no longer a prob­lem.
